Capture what AI models search for, cite, and reason about—directly from the platforms where AI answers live.

How to Open

  • Popup nav → AI Insights.
  • Works on chatgpt.com, gemini.google.com, and Google Search (when AI Overviews appear).
  • On unsupported pages, you’ll see a prompt to navigate to a supported platform.

Supported Platforms

Platform What’s Captured
ChatGPT Search queries, web citations (domain/title/URL), AI reasoning/thoughts
Gemini Queries, source attributions
Google AI Overviews Citations from AI-generated SERP snippets

What You See

Search / Model Queries

  • Internal queries the AI executed to fetch information
  • Numbered list with individual copy buttons

AI Reasoning / Thoughts

  • Chain-of-thought output (when the model exposes it)
  • Useful for prompt engineering research

Citations

Workflow Wins

  • Build fact-check lists and content briefs from citations
  • Monitor AI Overview presence on your target SERPs
  • Citation audit: Export CSV of sources an AI cited for a topic; verify accuracy.
  • Keyword mining: Copy AI’s internal queries to seed your keyword research.
  • Competitive intel: Check what sources competitors’ content triggers in AI answers.

Tips & Troubleshooting

  • If no data appears, ensure you’re on a supported platform with an active conversation.
  • ChatGPT CSP console errors are normal—they come from ChatGPT’s page, not the extension.
  • Google AI Overviews only appear on certain queries; try informational searches.
  • Data is cached per conversation; click Refresh to pull fresh data after updates.
