How AI Search Works
Headlinne AI Search lets you ask natural-language questions and get answers grounded in real news articles—not generic web results.
By Headlinne Editorial Team · Updated on
News-native search
Unlike Google, which searches the entire web, Headlinne AI Search queries only the ingested news corpus. This means answers are grounded in recent journalism from established publishers.
Semantic retrieval
When you type a question, Headlinne converts it into an embedding vector and finds the most semantically similar articles. An AI model then synthesizes an answer with citations to specific articles you can read in full.
How it differs from your feed
Your feed is passive—articles come to you. AI Search is active—you ask specific questions. Search results also influence your recommendation profile, helping Headlinne understand topics you care about.
Usage limits
Free accounts receive a Daily quota of AI Search queries. Pro and Max plans increase these limits for users who rely on search as a primary news discovery tool.
