About Query Fan-Out Tool

Query Fan-Out Tool analyzes prompts to reveal how an AI like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity fans-out a prompt into sub-queries and live web searches. It surfaces the sub-queries, classifies them by category and intent, and shows the sources that would be cited, helping users understand what the model is really looking for.

The tool builds a playbook from the fan-out, offering verdicts on each sub-query that indicate whether to build, watch, or skip content, and provides guidance on how to act based on ranking and term competitiveness.

Results include live web results for each sub-query, with cited sources and domain-level context, enabling users to see which pages influence the AI’s answer and where to insert themselves.

The workflow begins with pasting a prompt, mapping the fan-out, scoring sub-queries, and delivering a synthesized answer, all in a process designed to run quickly and surface actionable insights.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from regular keyword research?
Keyword research tells you what humans type into Google. Query fan out tells you what an LLM types into Google after it reads what a human asked it.
Do all LLMs fan out the same way?
No. Each model has its own reasoning chain and its own training data, so the same prompt fans out differently in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.
How often should I re-run a fan-out?
Any time your prompt's context shifts. New competitor in the market, a product launch, or a new year.
What happens to my email if I unlock the full report?
You get one email a week from New Chemistry on AI search visibility. Unsubscribe in one click.
What is this built on?
The methodology comes from Google's published patent, live web results come from a real-time SERP layer, and Semrush provides data signals.
