Nace AI's Drex for Search: hosted file retrieval for AI agents
Overview
Nace AI releases Drex for Search, a hosted tool that lets AI agents find answers in cloud-stored files by narrowing to the folder, file and page before passing only those pages to an answering model.
Nace AI says agents answered 67.1% of 529 queries correctly across six work benchmarks, up from 63.1%, with 62% fewer steps and 56% fewer input tokens per question. Nace AI also reports 92.05% accuracy on BrowseComp-Plus with GPT-5 and 77.5% R@1 on VisDocAgentBench.
The tool is available through a CLI, Python and TypeScript SDKs, MCP and REST, and can run on Nace's cloud, a dedicated cloud or on-prem. Nace AI says it can be tried for free at console.nace.ai.
A later report says Drex for Search reached the top spot on Snowflake's MADQA leaderboard with 94.7% accuracy on 500 document-based questions. That figure comes from the Testing Catalog report and is not independently verified. Testing Catalog says the tool can be added to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode as an MCP tool.
