Four provider-API connectors
OpenAI, Claude and Perplexity web-search APIs plus Gemini answers grounded in Google Search, all with model, token, latency and run provenance.
Build a consistent question set, choose the market and language, then collect comparable answers with clear provenance.
Run comparable questions on demand and retain the answer, sources, model, market, latency and token usage in one evidence history.
| AI surface | Evidence path | Current capability | Cadence |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT Search | Customer-captured answer | Save the answer, sources, market and model context | Whenever observed |
| Google AI Mode | Customer-captured answer | Save the answer, sources, market and model context | Whenever observed |
| Google AI Overviews | Customer-captured answer | Save the answer, sources, market and model context | Whenever observed |
| Perplexity | Customer-captured answer | Save the answer, sources, market and model context | Whenever observed |
| Gemini | Customer-captured answer | Save the answer, sources, market and model context | Whenever observed |
| Microsoft Copilot | Customer-captured answer | Save the answer, sources, market and model context | Whenever observed |
| Claude | Customer-captured answer | Save the answer, sources, market and model context | Whenever observed |
| OpenAI Web Search API | Provider API | Live · answer and source evidence | On demand and scheduled |
| Claude Web Search API | Provider API | Live · answer and source evidence | On demand and scheduled |
| Perplexity Sonar API | Provider API | Live · answer and source evidence | On demand and scheduled |
| Gemini API (Google Search grounding) | Provider API | Live · answer and source evidence | On demand and scheduled |
OpenAI, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini measurements run through provider APIs. Each observation keeps its collection method visible because provider APIs and consumer interfaces can return different answers.
For ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Copilot and other consumer surfaces, save the observed answer with its original URL, date, market and model context. HowAICite combines both evidence paths without presenting one as the other.
HowAICite stores country code, region, city, answer language and location provenance with every observation. Provider-side location is applied where supported; Gemini answers are grounded with Google Search and apply the answer language; Gemini does not accept a requested location.
Use equivalent questions and repeatable scopes to compare countries, languages and dates.
