Zeta AI Platform: Multi-Model Chat with Live Exa Citations

Zeta AI Platform is a high-performance multi-model chat assistant. One interface, four model families, live web grounding, and a reasoning trace you can watch as it thinks.

Model routing

Each query goes to the best-fit family for the task, routed through OpenRouter:

Grounded answers, not vibes

Every response is augmented with real-time Exa web search. Sources land inline as precise citations with a search timeline and image galleries, and the chain of thought streams live next to generation, so verification happens in real time instead of after the fact.

Beyond text

Universal file context: drop in images, PDFs, Word docs, and Excel sheets and they become conversation context. Chat history persists locally. The UI is claymorphism with Framer Motion micro-interactions and animated markdown output.
