AI Mode Inspector

About

AI Mode Inspector reveals everything Google hides inside AI-generated search results.

Instead of only showing you the on-screen citations, the extension surfaces the underlying JSON responses, ghost citations, query fan-out terms and excerpt sources that power AI Mode.

Perfect for SEOs, content strategists and technical analysts, AI Mode Inspector lets you:

• Extract full source data beyond the visible UI  
• Detect “ghost citations” that influenced answers but aren’t shown  
• View all citations, URLs and response segments in a clean sidebar  
• Export results to CSV in one click  
• Inspect query fan-out terms used to generate the AI response  
• Identify mismatches between excerpts and attributed URLs  
• Analyse how AI Mode constructs its summaries and opinions

Built for transparency and research, this tool runs locally and only activates on Google AI Mode search results. No data is stored or sent externally.
