Exa

Perform semantic search using Exa AI. Use when you need to: (1) find content by meaning not keywords, (2) discover similar documents, or (3) perform neural web searches.

Input

json
1{ 2 "search_query": "The search query or topic you want to explore using semantic search", 3 "num_results": "Number of search results to retrieve (e.g., 5, 10, 20)" 4}

Execution (Pattern B: Text/Data)

Step 1: Run the Skill and Get Run ID

bash
1RESULT=$(refly skill run --id skpi-j39cg6h58kgt89qy41chi1ay --input '{ 2 "query": "latest developments in artificial intelligence", 3 "num_results": "10" 4}') 5RUN_ID=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.payload.workflowExecutions[0].id') 6# RUN_ID is we-xxx format, use this for workflow commands

Step 2: Open Workflow in Browser and Wait for Completion

bash
1open "https://refly.ai/workflow/c-eptydufr83h9gket8xdjbnan" 2refly workflow status "$RUN_ID" --watch --interval 30000

Step 3: Extract Text Content

bash
1# Get text content from toolcalls 2CONTENT=$(refly workflow toolcalls "$RUN_ID" --files --latest | jq -r '.payload.nodes[].content') 3echo "$CONTENT"
