Exa · Podcast transcript search with speakers and timestamps

Particle

Particle data through the Exa Agent: search 100,000+ transcribed podcasts; each hit is a speaker-attributed transcript window with timestamps, show and episode metadata. Ask in natural language and, for structured output, pass output_schema naming the fields you want from Particle. Examples: "What podcast hosts said about AI regulation in the last month: show, speaker, quote, timestamp, stance." "Recent podcast mentions of Anthropic with speaker-attributed quotes." Price: Exa effort (minimal $0.012, low $0.025, medium $0.10, high $0.50 per run) plus $0.015 per Particle call; the cost Exa reports is billed, up to max_cost_usd (default $0.25). Usually answers inline within a minute; otherwise returns a run id to read with exa/agent-run-get.

Use this tool with your agent

Give this to your agent
Use my connected Agentik MCP server. I want to use the tool exa/particle (Particle via Exa: podcast transcript search with speakers and timestamps). Call inspect_tool with {"tool_id": "exa/particle"} first and tell me the price before anything runs. Ask me for the inputs it needs; never invent values, IDs or file URLs. When I confirm, call run_tool with tool_id "exa/particle" and my inputs, follow it with get_run if it is still running, and give me the result and the price Agentik reports. If the tool is unavailable, say so and use discover_tools to propose an alternative.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Codex: your agent takes it from there, and shows the price before it runs.
