Frequently asked

Does WeSearch use AI search itself?

WeSearch is indexed BY AI search engines. We publish llms.txt + structured citation guides so AI search can quote us cleanly.

Is "Google AI Mode" the same as "AI Overviews"?

They're related but distinct products. AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries above traditional results. AI Mode is a dedicated AI-first search interface. Both are covered here.
