The AI Mode API Extension is a browser extension that transforms Google's AI Mode into a programmable API endpoint. Once installed, it runs locally in your browser and lets you query AI Mode from anywhere — your terminal, scripts, applications, or automation tools — and receive structured JSON responses containing the AI-generated answer, follow-up questions, and source links.

This tool provides access to AI Mode responses programmatically, including the main answer, follow-up questions, and source links through a simple API. Each response includes three parts: the main AI-generated answer, suggested follow-up questions, and source links that AI Mode references.

The extension works by installing it in your browser, getting your API endpoint, and then making queries to receive structured responses. It runs locally in your browser and queries pass through a relay without being stored.

You can use it for research projects to get structured answers, suggested follow-ups, and source citations in one response. It's useful for brand and content monitoring to check if your website, brand, or content appears in AI Mode responses and source links for specific queries. It also provides SEO and marketing insights to understand how AI Mode surfaces information for your industry or keywords, and see which sources it considers most relevant.

The tool works with any Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, etc.) and doesn't require being logged into a Google account. Since it relies on browser-based AI Mode access, there are rate limits similar to using AI Mode manually, making it best suited for research and monitoring rather than high-volume production use.
