Questions
Which AI engines does it check?
Google's own two surfaces, the AI Overview and AI Mode, through DataForSEO. It does not sample ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity, whose answers change from run to run and cost far more per question.
Is one check enough?
It is one reading on one day. For a share over time, sign in and add the question to your prompts; RankWhy reads the list again every month on the login you store.
Is my key stored?
No. It is passed through to DataForSEO for this request.
