AI Search Query Capture

Watch the searches ChatGPT and Claude run for you.

Add to Chrome View on GitHub
Answer first

A free Chrome extension that reveals the web-search queries ChatGPT and Claude run when they browse, and the source URLs they cite, captured live and on-device. It makes query fan-out visible, the bridge between a natural-language prompt and what actually gets retrieved and cited. Live on the Chrome Web Store.

The problem

When ChatGPT or Claude runs a live web search it silently rewrites your prompt into its own search-engine queries. Those queries, and the sources the assistant then cites, are the bridge between what a user asks and what actually gets retrieved, but they are invisible without sitting in developer tools watching network traffic. This surfaces them live in a popup and an optional on-page ticker, de-duplicated and exportable to CSV.

Why it matters

Capturing the queries an assistant issues to the open web, plus the URLs it cites, reveals how prompts are decomposed and reformulated (query fan-out), and which phrasings and entities the model anchors on. That is first-party signal for content and entity optimisation that complements traditional keyword data.

The build itself, reverse-engineering how ChatGPT and Claude stream their responses, is as much the point as the data. Everything stays on the device; no data leaves the machine.

Try it

  1. Add it from the Chrome Web Store in one click, then pin the icon.
  2. Open ChatGPT or Claude and ask something that needs a live web search.
  3. Watch the queries and cited sources land in the popup and optional on-page ticker, live.
  4. Filter by queries or sources, and export the lot to CSV.
