WHAT IS AN AI SEARCH ENGINE?
Search that understands, not just matches
An AI search engine uses large language models to interpret your question, scan live sources, and return a summarized answer with citations—instead of a plain list of blue links.
Conversational queries
Ask follow-up questions naturally, as if you were talking to a research assistant.
Cited answers
Every summary points back to real sources, so you can verify facts in one click.
Cross-page synthesis
Pull together insights from multiple open tabs into a single coherent answer.
WHY TABBIT
Why use Tabbit as your AI search engine?
Standalone AI search engines force you to copy context back and forth. Tabbit builds AI search into the browser itself, so your questions always have the right context.
Context from any page
Highlight text, right-click, or ask in the side panel—answers are grounded in the page you are viewing.
Multi-model choice
Switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and more to match the model to the task.
Cross-tab research
Let Tabbit read several open tabs and compare sources, prices, or opinions for you.
Source transparency
See exactly which pages and snippets informed every answer, with inline citations.
Privacy first
Page context is only sent when you explicitly ask a question. No passive scraping.
Built for work
Vertical tabs, workspaces, and agentic automation keep research organized and actionable.
CAPABILITIES
What Tabbit's AI search engine can do
From a quick fact-check to a deep multi-source investigation, Tabbit turns the browser into an active research partner.
Page-aware Q&A
Ask about the article, PDF, or product page in front of you and get an instant, cited answer.
Live web search
Query the open web when you need up-to-date news, prices, or facts beyond your open tabs.
Compare & summarize
Drop multiple links or tabs into the chat and receive a structured comparison or summary.
Agentic follow-through
Ask Tabbit to book, buy, or file something based on search results, and it can act across sites.
