Distribute your fixes to the places AI reads
Proofsource takes a live page or an approved fix and drafts posts for the places AI assistants learn from. Community radar finds forum threads worth answering and checks them for accuracy and mentions of your brand, and every draft reads the community's rules first. Reddit posting is in early access and LinkedIn is coming soon, so today you review and copy drafts yourself.

Content distribution for AI citations, explained
AI assistants do not only read your website. When ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews answer a buying question, they often draw on forum threads, LinkedIn posts, reviews and third-party articles. A great page on your own site helps, but if the conversations AI trusts never mention you, competitors who show up there get recommended instead.
Distribution for AI citations means placing accurate, useful versions of your answer in those trusted places, in a way that fits each community. That rules out spam: a Reddit reply has to follow the subreddit's rules and actually help the person asking, and a LinkedIn article has to stand on its own.
Proofsource connects distribution to the fix loop. Once a fix is approved or a page is live, it drafts posts for each channel. Community radar surfaces forum threads where your answer fits, and replies are drafted after reading that community's rules. Forum threads are also checked for accurate mentions of your brand, so you know where a correction is needed. Reddit posting from your brand account is in early access and LinkedIn is coming soon.
How it works

Questions about content distribution for AI citations
Why distribute content for AI visibility?
AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews draw on forums, LinkedIn and third-party pages as well as your site. If those places never mention you, competitors who appear there are more likely to be recommended.
Which channels does Proofsource publish to?
Drafts are made for LinkedIn and Reddit, and the channel grid shows each channel as Connected, Reconnect needed or Coming. Reddit posting is early access: join and we turn it on for your workspace. LinkedIn is coming soon: join early access and we tell you when it opens.
Will Proofsource post on Reddit without asking?
No. Replies are drafted after reading the subreddit's rules and need your approval. Posting from your brand account is early access: join and we turn it on for your workspace. Auto-publish is off unless you switch it on for a connected channel.
What is community radar?
It finds forum threads where a helpful answer from your brand fits and rates each by fit, so you spend time on the threads that matter.
Does it write LinkedIn articles?
Not yet. Coming soon: join early access and we tell you when LinkedIn opens. Today Proofsource drafts post copy from an approved fix.
Can it spot wrong claims about us in forums?
Yes. Forum threads are checked for accuracy and for mentions of your brand, so you can see where a correction would help.
How is this different from Ahrefs or Profound social tools?
Ahrefs offers a social media manager and Profound drafts social posts and replies, both useful. Proofsource starts every post from an approved fix with its evidence, reads community rules before replying, and keeps distribution in the same loop that verifies whether AI answers changed.
Is this spam?
No. Replies follow each community's rules, aim to answer the question, and need your approval.
