Citations

Find which sources the AI models cite for a query, with per-model counts, and optionally check whether a specific URL is cited, from your agent.

Overview

Your agent gets the URLs the models cite for a query, ranked by how many cited each. Pass a specific URL and the result also says whether that page is cited and by which models, useful for checking if your own content shows up.

Example

Ask your agent in plain English and it calls the tool for you:

# you say
Which sources do AI models cite for “how to optimize for AI search”, and is yourbrand.com/blog/aeo one of them?

The tool returns structured JSON to your agent (you never see this directly):

{
  "query": "how to optimize for AI search",
  "sources": [
    { "url": "https://…", "citedBy": ["chatgpt", "perplexity"], "count": 2 }
  ],
  "lookup": { "cited": true, "citedBy": ["chatgpt"] },
  "billing": { "cost": { "usd": "0.20" } }
}

Your agent reads that JSON and answers you in plain English. That reply is written by your own AI; the JSON is just what it reasons over:

# your AI replies
Good news: your page is cited. ChatGPT pulls from yourbrand.com/blog/aeo. The most-cited source overall is referenced by both ChatGPT and Perplexity, so that’s the page to study. Gemini cites neither yet, a gap worth closing.
