The model value is GEMINI. Any behavior not listed here follows the Supported models table as-is.

Where answers are collected

Gemini answers are collected from the Gemini web app that regular users see, not from the API. It is a different service from Google Overview and Google AI Mode, which are attached to Google Search. Like ChatGPT, it is a standalone conversational interface.
A prompt entered and an answer received in the Gemini web app without signing in

The Gemini web app screen used for collection. The prompt is entered as-is without signing in, and the answer shown below it is collected.

Collection conditions are as follows.
  • Collection happens without signing in. An account’s activity history and connected Google apps do not affect the answer.
  • The prompt is entered verbatim into the input box. No instructions are added before or after it, and the question is not rewritten.
  • Only one prompt is asked in a new conversation. Context from earlier questions does not carry over.
  • The model is the one Gemini provides by default to signed-out users. No model is selected separately.
  • Region and location are applied by connecting from a network that matches the run request’s region.
Screen elements map to answer object fields as follows.

Model-specific behavior

Fan-out is not provided. fanouts is always an empty array, while the answer body and cited sources are collected normally.
