Ani.AI: Query Fan Out Extractor

About

See exactly what ChatGPT and Claude search before they answer you.

When an AI assistant browses the web to answer a question, it doesn't run a single search. It fans out into a set of sub-queries, pulls dozens of pages, and cites only a few of them. Ani.AI captures that hidden layer straight from the network — the real queries the model issued, the URLs it researched, and the sources it actually cited — and lays it out in one panel.

This is the data behind AI search. If you work in SEO, AEO, or GEO, it shows you how assistants actually research your topics and which sources they trust.

WHAT IT CAPTURES:

- The full query fan-out — every sub-query searched, with a running total
- Every researched URL, split into Cited vs. Browsed-only
- Per-source snippets — the exact text that got cited
- Top Sourced Sites — domains ranked by how often they were pulled
- Citation order and frequency

BUILT-IN CLASSIFICATION:
- Queries tagged by funnel stage (Problem-, Solution-, Decision-aware, Retention) and type (BoFu, Branded, Comparison, How-to, Operator)
- Sources tagged by site type (First-party/vendor, Review site, Reddit, News, Social, Docs, Blog)
- Click any domain to filter the URL list down to just that site

EXPORT & COPY
- Copy any single query in one click
- Export to TSV, JSON, or CSV (queries, citations, sources, domains, news)

HOW TO USE IT
Open a conversation in ChatGPT or Claude, run a prompt that triggers web search, and click Extract / Refresh. The fan-out, sources, and citations appear instantly.

Works on chatgpt.com and claude.ai.
