Hey,
ChatGPT doesn't run one search when it answers a question.
It "fans out" — splitting your prompt into multiple sub-queries before merging everything into one response.
Meaning it's a critical part of how brands and pages get cited in AI answers. And until now, it was hard to see the fan-out happening behind the scenes.
But we
built a free Chrome extension that changes that.

The ChatGPT Query Fan-Out Tool shows you:
- Every sub-query ChatGPT ran
behind the scenes
- Every URL it cited — categorized by sources, products, images, and news
- Whether your brand or competitors were mentioned, and in what context
Use these insights to improve your content strategy and increase your AI mentions.
