Official Bio

Will Bryk is the co-founder and CEO of Exa, the AI-native search company represented in the AI Engineer World's Fair 2026 speaker roster. At the World's Fair, he appears in the Search & Retrieval track through his confirmed session, "The Search Engine for the Agentic Web," scheduled for June 29, 2026 from 11:40am to 12:00pm on Track 3. The session connects Bryk's role at Exa directly to one of the conference's core infrastructure themes: how AI agents find high-quality, current information quickly enough to reason and act.

Exa is listed in the wiki as a participating company connected to Bryk, co-founder Jeffrey Wang, and Jakub Hojsan, with Bryk specifically identified as CEO. The company page and talk connection frame Exa as search infrastructure for AI products and developers rather than a general web search destination. Bryk's bio emphasizes Exa's aim of giving AI systems millisecond access to the best available information, with customers including Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and OpenRouter, making his appearance especially relevant to agentic search, retrieval quality, and the information layer behind coding agents and AI applications.
