Exactly is an adverb used to show full agreement or correctness with what someone else has said. Exact, on the other hand, is an adjective meaning precise or correct in detail. For example:
You are exactly right about the cause of the problem. – This shows full agreement. It expresses how right (adjective) the person was.
We need the exact measurements to build the new server rack. – This means very precise measurements. It qualifies a noun instead of a verb or adjective.
