Surfaces the hidden sub-queries (fan-out searches) ChatGPT runs behind the scenes. See the hidden sub-queries ChatGPT runs behind the scenes when it searches the web — plus every source it actually read. Detailed description: AISearchTrace reveals what ChatGPT is really doing when it "searches the web" for you. When ChatGPT browses to answer a question, it silently generates its own sub-queries and sends them to a search backend — sub-queries you never see in the chat UI. AISearchTrace captures them in real time, along with every source ChatGPT actually read before answering. What you get, per web-search turn: The fan-out sub-queries ChatGPT generated from your prompt Every domain and URL ChatGPT pulled from to build its answer One-click copy of the full breakdown as clean text Why this matters: If you work in SEO, content strategy, or AI visibility, you already know AI Overviews and chat assistants are becoming a real source of traffic and citations. Understanding the actual queries an AI model runs — not the one-line prompt you typed — is the first step to understanding why your content does or doesn't get cited. This extension gives you that visibility for free, directly in your browser. How it works: AISearchTrace runs entirely in your browser. It reads ChatGPT's own network responses as they stream in. It doesn't modify anything, doesn't send your data anywhere, and doesn't need any account or API key. Everything stays local to your machine.
