exa-deepseek-chat

Why we included this project

This small Next.js app is a practical reference for anyone wiring a reasoning model to live web search. It connects DeepSeek R1, served through Fireworks AI, to Exa's search API, so the chat can fetch current web results and reason over them instead of relying on the model's training data alone. The code is compact and built on the Vercel AI SDK, which makes it easy to follow how a query moves from the chat interface to the search call and back into the model's context. Teams exploring a search-augmented chatbot can clone it, add their own API keys, and adapt the flow without digging through a large framework. It's a demo-grade reference rather than a hardened production service, which is exactly what makes it useful for learning and prototyping.
