What is Metaso?

The official slogan of Metaso AI Search is "No ads, direct to results". Its positioning is to transform search from "a list of links" into "a single answer": after you ask a question, it directly outputs sorted conclusions and retains verifiable sources, allowing users to skip the interference of ads and aggregation pages. Different from traditional search engines that match keywords, it is more like obtaining information through AI conversation—you ask one question, and it gives a paragraph of answer. The product covers web and mobile terminals, providing two levels of answer depth: "Concise" and "In-depth". It also continuously updates gameplay through content topics such as "Learn Something", and the entrance supports scanning codes for use on both web and mobile terminals.

Who is it for?

Chinese users who are disturbed by search ads and want to get conclusions quickly, as well as content creators and researchers who conduct data collection and literature research; for multi-step questions that require in-depth sorting out, the research mode is more effort-saving than regular search. Students doing homework and searching for information, and office workers quickly getting to know unfamiliar fields can also save a lot of time.

Things to know

The essence of AI search is "integration and summarization". Conclusions may deviate due to the quality or timeliness of sources; it is recommended to check the original text for key data and facts. Academic and library-oriented scopes are more friendly to papers and reports, but coverage depends on their index scale, and long-tail materials may not be included. Some new capabilities (such as video generation and speech transcription) are in a state of continuous update, and availability is subject to the actual page. Capabilities such as in-depth research may have usage restrictions, please refer to the official instructions for details. The overall interface is concise, the entrances to commonly used functions are intuitive, and new users can get started with almost no cost.
