webIQ demo shows the evidence object returned to models, stressing freshness signals
VeryWellVersed · x · 2026-11-05
At Tech SEO Connect 2026, Krishna Madhavan demonstrated the actual structure webIQ returns to models:
- The "evidence object" passage format includes title, url, content, crawlEdAt/lastUpdatedAt timestamps, language, and query signals like {"Freshness": true}
- Core claim: passage, source, and timestamps must travel together so models can judge information freshness
- He highlighted how important the freshness signal is for AI agents and search grounding, listing what agents can use: sort by floor/time, url+title as source, crawl and update dates
For AEO/AI-search practitioners, this shows how search APIs should serve verifiable evidence structures to agents.
