Query Google’s AI Mode as a simple, programmable API
AI Mode API is a browser extension that transforms Google's AI Mode into a programmable API endpoint. It allows developers to access AI Mode responses programmatically, including the main AI-generated answer, follow-up questions, and source links. The extension runs locally in your browser and provides structured JSON responses for research, monitoring, and automation purposes. It works with any Chromium-based browser and requires no Google account login.
