What Is an AI Agent-Native Tool?
How Jacqueline V. Twillie explained it live with Women Applying AI on October 7, 2026.
I love to give my agents access to agentic native tools. So Firecrawl, similar to Exa and Apify, it is a system built to help agents to be able to process information on the web.
What she said about it
I want to highlight for you three helpful connectors that are beyond calendar and email. The first one is called Exa.
Exa is similar to Google, but it's built for agents. Okay. It is built for agents. So it means that as agents are searching the web and fetching information, searching the internet and reading web pages that search and fetch, it is built natively for agents to be able to pull the information that humans are looking for.
The moment she used it
Apify is an agent native tool that fetches specific information from various platforms such as LinkedIn.
