Which AI surfaces can you capture?

One request fans out across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI — and returns the answer plus the evidence behind it as one canonical Envelope. Gemini is phase-2 (no v1 lane yet — we mark it, not fake it). The surfaces value below is exactly what you pass.

The capability matrix: every lane, stated honestly.

Every surface can be acquired three ways — our own browser fleet (own-fleet), a managed scraping vendor (managed-vendor), or the model’s own API (official-api). We are browser-first: auto prefers a real consumer-UI browser session — guest sessions today, with the authenticated account pool for login-walled surfaces on the roadmap — and never silently downgrades to the model API. This is the live v1 routing — phase-2 lanes are marked as such, not sold as live.

Each surface, on the record.

The acquisition method, the fidelity it delivers and the geo it honors — for every surface you can request today. All surfaces accept a regions array (country required; optional city + language), defaulting to [{ country: "US" }].

ChatGPT

by OpenAI

chatgpt

Default browser-first capture of the real ChatGPT UI on our own fleet (guest sessions today). The official-api lane (OpenAI Responses) is an explicit pin for an api_surrogate baseline — auto never silently uses it. The managed-vendor lane is phase-2.

Claude

by Anthropic

claude

Login-walled. Served today through the official model API (Anthropic via the OpenRouter gateway), so auto resolves to official-api. The authenticated own-fleet browser lane that captures Claude’s consumer UI is phase-2 — the wedge anonymous scrapers structurally cannot reach.

Perplexity

by Perplexity

perplexity

Default own-fleet browser capture of the real Perplexity UI — the live v1 lane. The official-api (Sonar) and managed-vendor lanes are phase-2, not yet wired.

Gemini

by Google

gemini

No v1 path today. The consumer surface is login-walled for guests (the own-fleet lane needs the phase-2 authenticated account pool), the managed-vendor endpoint is an unverified placeholder, and official-API resale is barred. Requesting gemini with auto returns an honest 422 — never a fabricated lane.

Copilot

Captured live by own-fleet browser render of the Copilot UI. The Copilot official-api and managed-vendor lanes are phase-2.

The roadmap: the login-walled wedge, phase 2.

The most valuable AI products sit behind a sign-in, where anonymous proxy scraping structurally cannot reach. These come to the same Envelope as the authenticated account pool comes online — no integration changes on your side. They are not yet valid surfaces values — sending them is rejected today.
