# Get Google AI Overview

Automatically get Google AI Overview on google.com. Run a Google search and return the AI Overview Google shows for it: whether there is one, its answer as Markdown (headings, lists, tables and links kept), and the pages it cites, in the order the answer first cites them, each with url, title, site, byline and snippet. Google shows an AI Overview for some searches only: for the others shown is false and sources is empty. The overview follows the browser's Google account, location and moment, so the same search can get a different overview, or none, on another run. When Google shows its anti-bot check and it cannot be cleared, the run fails and says so.
