Questions about AI Search.

AI Search returns each AI model's full answer to your question, with the sources it cited as clean links. Use it to read what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews actually say before you measure brand visibility or plan content.
It is the closest repeatable version. Cite42 asks each model through its official API with web search on. The ChatGPT app adds personalization, memory and experiments, so an individual chat can differ from the API answer.
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. By default it asks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini; choose any subset, or run all five. You pay $0.01 to $0.06 for each model you select.
AI Search gives you the full answers and sources. AI Visibility reads those answers for you and scores your brand: how often it is mentioned and in what position. Use AI Search to research a question, and AI Visibility to measure your brand in it.
Cite42 keeps no conversation history or memory. It stores billing records and caches each AI answer for 24 hours, so the same question asked again that day returns instantly. Results are only stored long term when you save them in a tracker.
