Websets vs. Google: The Most Powerful AI Research Agent
See how Websets, powered by our neural network search engine and semantic search technology, outperforms Google in this comprehensive evaluation.
TL;DR
- Websets retrieves over 20x more correct search results than Google on complex queries.
- Google is effective for simple searches but struggles with complex ones.
- Websets uses an embedding-based search algorithm with agents to find specific entities on the web.
- A benchmark was created to evaluate Exa Websets, Google, and OpenAI's Deep Research.
- GPT-4o was used to grade Google and Exa's results based on criteria derived from each query.
- Manual grading was performed for OpenAI's Deep Research results.
- Websets (low compute) averaged 66 correct results per query, while Websets (high compute) averaged 320.
- Google averaged only 16 correct results, attributed to a keyword matching algorithm.
- Deep Research had higher precision but found fewer results.
