AI Mode Grounding Queries¶
What this helps you do¶
This worksteam reveals the hidden searches Google's AI Mode actually ran while grounding its answer to a prompt — so instead of guessing what Google searched behind the scenes, you can see the exact grounding queries, the response, and the sources it cited.
Availability
This capability runs a managed Gemini grounding call behind the scenes, so it requires a Paid Managed workspace. This holds even on BYOK plans — BYOK keeps your core chat generation local, but grounding-query capture itself uses Hi, Moose managed infrastructure that costs us money to run, so it isn't included on BYOK Free or BYOK Premium. Preview Mode doesn't include it either.
Running it¶
- From Chat, choose the Capture AI Mode grounding queries quick start (or ask for it directly).
- Enter the prompt you want to inspect.
- Hi, Moose checks Gemini's grounding queries for that prompt and returns:
- The grounding queries Gemini actually used.
- The cited sources.
- The grounded response itself.
Why this matters¶
Grounding queries show you the real search behavior behind an AI Mode answer — useful for understanding why your page is or isn't showing up, and for spotting query variations you aren't currently tracking in Visibility or Prompt Manager.
If a run fails¶
If Hi, Moose can't collect real grounding queries for a prompt, it tells you so rather than presenting a guess — try again in a moment, or double-check that the workspace has a managed subscription active.
