SearchNow.ai is an AI-powered web search and summarization service. You can ask questions in natural language and receive concise, source-linked summaries drawn from live results across the web. Depending on your plan, results can be delivered as text answers, mindmaps, HTML reports, and presentation-ready slides.

When you enter a search query, we retrieve relevant results from across the web and process them with AI models to generate your summary, mindmap, HTML report, or presentation. See our Privacy Policy for details.

2.2 Free, Pro, and Max Features

Certain features are available free of charge, while others require a paid subscription. Some features operate on a credit system, where each search or summarization request consumes a number of credits depending on complexity.
