What is an AI search engine?
An AI search engine understands your question in natural language, searches the live web, and returns an answer with sources—instead of just a list of links.
Cited answers
Every claim links back to its source, so you can verify facts.
Cross-page synthesis
Combine information from several pages into one coherent answer.
