# How to use AI Search?

AI Search is simple to use and designed to deliver relevant, contextual results in seconds. Follow these steps to get started:

### Focus Mode

1. **Choose a Focus Mode**\
   Select from modes like *Web*, *Academic*, or *Reddit* to narrow down your search context and data sources.

### Input Options

2. **Enter Your Query**\
   Type your question or request in natural language. AI Search supports both short queries (e.g., *“latest iPhone release date”*) and detailed research prompts.
3. **Use Presets (Optional)**\
   Quick-start presets help with common tasks such as *“summarize article”*, *“find statistics”*, or *“compare products.”*
