# What is AI Search?

The AI Search tool retrieves **real-time information** from the web, combining **semantic search** with **generative summarization** to deliver relevant, contextual results. It not only finds sources but also explains them — helping you research, compare, and analyze content efficiently.

AI Search presents results with **links, summaries, and references**, ensuring you can verify and explore further. Whether you’re researching the latest trends, summarizing academic work, or exploring public discussions, AI Search provides fast, intelligent access to live information.

### Focus Modes

* **Web**: Focused on surfing and exploring live web content, returning results from current news, blogs, and websites.
* **Writing:** Tailored for creative and professional writing tasks, including drafting, rewriting, and idea generation.
* **Mathematics:** Optimized for solving equations, explaining mathematical concepts, and presenting step-by-step solutions.
* **Academic:** Priorities research articles, published academic papers, and verified sources.
* **Reddit:** Retrieves discussions, user insights and opinions. 
* **YouTube**: Searches across Youtube content.
