Baselayer and Exa Bring Verified Business Intelligence to AI Search
Baselayer is now available through Exa Connect, giving Exa’s search agent access to verified business identity and risk intelligence.
As enterprises deploy AI systems into higher-stakes research and workflows, they need access to specialized data sources.
Baselayer is partnering with Exa, the search engine designed for AI agents, to bring Baselayer’s business intelligence directly into Exa Connect.
Together, Exa’s powerful search infrastructure and Baselayer’s verified business, people, and risk data give agents richer context to research and take action.
From research to decision
Exa enables agents to access information across the web, powering search for Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, AWS, Monday.com, and more than 500,000 developers. Customers use Exa’s web index and search API to conduct deep research, financial analysis, account enrichment, and large-scale list building.
For workflows that include researching and making a decision about a business, Baselayer adds another layer of context.
Agents can go beyond company public research into corporate structure, people, history, and risk, working from verified records and proprietary signals, instead of reconciling fragmented information. That means fewer search loops spent establishing business facts and enriched search results that businesses can trust and audit in higher-stakes workflows.
Powering new agentic workflows
Bringing web intelligence and verified business intelligence together creates new possibilities across the enterprise:
- Sales and GTM agents can find companies through Exa, then add verified business attributes for qualification and outreach.
- Procurement agents can identify and compare potential suppliers, and highlight financial, operational, or legal risk before making a recommendation.
- Compliance agents can combine company research with registration data, associated people, sanctions, fraud, and other risk indicators required for due diligence.
- Finance and underwriting agents can pair real-time web information with private business structure, credit, legal, and risk intelligence to enhance company analysis and support better informed decisions.
In each case, agents produce higher quality answers and spend less time and tokens piecing together fragmented information.
Building the intelligence layer agents can trust
Exa Connect reflects a significant shift in how AI agents will access information. The most capable agents will select the best information source for the task, combining the breadth of the web with specialized data.
Exa is building the infrastructure that makes that possible. Baselayer brings verified business identity and risk intelligence into that ecosystem.
“To scale enterprise adoption of agentic AI, agents need to meet the highest standard of reliability and trust. Exa gives agents extraordinary breadth across the world’s information, and Baselayer adds deep, verified business and risk context. Together, we’re giving agents better inputs for agentic decisions, bridging AI research to AI you can trust to act.”
“The world’s data is too great for a single index and agents require best-in-class data sources beyond the public web. Exa Connect is built to make that possible. Bringing Baselayer into the ecosystem gives enterprises and developers access to verified business and risk intelligence alongside the web, so agents can go deeper when the workflow demands it.”
