Paste an AI answer screenshot and get the fix it calls for
Someone sends you a screenshot of ChatGPT recommending Otter and not Driffle. Paste it, or a link, into Ask and Proofsource reads the answer, matches it to your tracked buyer questions and sources, and proposes the fix. It can also turn any tracked AI answer into a clean, shareable image. For marketers, founders and agencies who get AI answers forwarded to them every week.

What is an AI answer screenshot analyzer?
AI answers are personal and fleeting. A buyer, a sales rep or a founder sees ChatGPT or Perplexity recommend a competitor, takes a screenshot, and sends it to marketing with one word: why? Without a tool, someone has to retype the question, guess the engine, compare it with tracked data and work out what to change.
An AI answer screenshot analyzer reads the image for you. It extracts the question, the engine, the brands named in order and any sources shown, then compares that answer with what your tracking already knows. The result is a diagnosis, such as "Perplexity cited a review site that does not list you", and a concrete next step.
In Proofsource you paste a screenshot or a link straight into Ask. Proofsource reads it, explains it in plain words, and proposes a fix that you can preview and approve with one Yes. Going the other way, Ask can make an image of an AI answer from your tracked data, so you can show a client or your team exactly what an engine said.

Questions about AI answer screenshot analyzer
Which AI answers can I paste?
Screenshots of answers from the engines Proofsource tracks work best: up to 10 AI engines, from ChatGPT and Perplexity to Gemini, Copilot and Grok. You can also paste a link to any public page.
What if the screenshot is blurry?
Proofsource tells you it could not read the screenshot and answers using only what you typed. A clearer image or the question in text gives a better answer.
Does one screenshot change my visibility numbers?
No. A pasted screenshot is read for diagnosis. Your metrics come from tracked answers that Proofsource collects on a schedule, so one forwarded answer never skews them.
Will it start a fix automatically?
No. It proposes a fix as a card. The fix starts only after you press Yes.
Can I make an image of an AI answer for a client?
Yes. Ask can create an image of a tracked AI answer, which you can download, copy or add to your Share Report.
Is creating an image charged?
Making an image of a tracked answer from chat is free.
Can I paste a competitor's page?
Yes. Paste the link and Ask reads the page, tells you how often your tracked answers cite it, and can draft your own version.
