Only Fan Out Maps the Search Behind AI Answers
A free Chrome extension that lays out the fan-out queries, fetched sources, and citations behind answers from ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok.
Field notes
The extension groups an assistant's generated searches, retrieved pages, and final citations by conversation turn, making the gap between fetched and cited material visible. It supports ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok, with watchlists for brands or domains and exports in CSV, Markdown, and JSON. The site also describes parser-status and schema-drift diagnostics, while stating that captured conversations remain in the browser's chrome.storage.local.
