Version-Controlled Search: The Web as It Was — Ryan Ahern, Exa

Why watch

Ryan Ahern introduces Exa Snapshot, a tool enabling AI agents to search the web as it appeared at any past date. The talk covers why search quality matters for agent-brokered searches, compares snapshot versus live search results, and demonstrates how teams use point-in-time search to build and validate predictive signals while avoiding overfitting. Ideal for AI engineers and developers building agentic systems.
