Open Queries Looks Behind the AI Search Curtain

openqueries.org ↗ · Developer Corner · score 79.0
Open: public page gives enough substance to understand the site $Paid: pricing, booking, ecommerce, subscription, or paid access is visible ADAds: visible ad load or ad-supported content Pretty: notable design, copy, craft, or presentation Pro: polished, finished-feeling, serious, or operationally mature Niche: specific audience, workflow, or unusually focused use case Human: personal, local, community, civic, handmade, or real-person signal !Suspicious: scammy, spammy, trust theater, finance fog, or credibility concern

An open-source Chrome extension that shows web-search queries surfaced by ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, with optional estimates of their likely fan-out queries.

Why it surfaced

Open Queries separates observed searches from reconstructed estimates and keeps both the extension and methodology public under AGPL-3.0-or-later. Its privacy boundary is unusually explicit: it says conversations, titles, account identity, and conversation URLs are never read.

Ham Is Specifically Discouraged

August 10’s newborn domains include a mock cryptid council that specifically discourages ham, a vintage phone collecting messages for Twyla’s 70th, a 4.5-meter dish measuring Galactic hydrogen at 1420 MHz, and an open index that found 530 sites permitting GPTBot in robots.txt while refusing it at the server.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-10 Domain Arrivals issue.
