Only Fan Out is a free Chrome extension that shows every fan-out query, every source fetched, and every source cited behind answers in ChatGPT, Claude and Grok.

Coming to the Chrome Web Store

Side panel views of Only Fan Out open next to ChatGPT, Claude and Grok conversations, showing fan-out queries and cited sources.
Three engines

One side panel for ChatGPT, Claude and Grok.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Is it free?

Yes. Only Fan Out is free to install and use.

Does it work with Gemini?

Not yet. Only Fan Out currently supports ChatGPT, Claude and Grok.

Does it slow down ChatGPT?

No. Only Fan Out reads the network responses your browser already receives. It does not add its own requests to a normal turn.

Why is a source fetched but not cited?

An assistant's search step often retrieves more pages than the final answer references. Only Fan Out shows the full set the assistant fetched next to the smaller set it cited, so you can see the gap between the two.

Does OnlyFans have anything to do with this?

No. The name is a play on "fan-out," the term for how an AI answer splits one question into many searches.
