Nace AI launches Drex for Search retrieval tool
Nace AI has launched Drex for Search, enabling agents to locate content layer by layer from cloud files by folder, file, and page, returning answers, citations, and page numbers. The tool can connect to AWS S3, Azure, and DigitalOcean, read scanned PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, and audio, and can be invoked as a tool by coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Hermes Agent. Nace claims a 62% reduction in steps per question and a 56% reduction in input tokens; across 529 queries on six professional work benchmarks, including Databricks OfficeQA, agents using the tool achieved an accuracy of 67.1%, up from 63.1% previously.
