Proofsource and Linear: fixes that arrive as ready issues
Connect Linear once and any fix becomes an issue for the team you choose, written with the problem, the AI answers that show it, the pages it touches and the fix itself. Proofsource posts proof as comments, moves the issue when the fix is proven live, and reads its state back.

Beta Beta means the Linear hand-off works and the sign-in app is configured, but we keep a Beta badge on the card while we widen what it can do. Nothing is created in Linear until someone chooses Create a Linear issue on a fix.
Why we love Linear
In the makers' own words, from their own pages. Proofsource builds on it, never around it.
A tool that is a pleasure to be fast in
Linear is built around speed and keyboard-first flow, so triaging, assigning and closing work feels light instead of like admin.
From linear.appA clear point of view on how to build
Linear Method sets out how the team thinks about direction, momentum and scoping, which gives its users a shared, opinionated way to run a product team.
From linear.appAI woven into the workflow
Linear brings AI into the places where work happens, helping teams triage, summarize and route issues rather than adding another tool to check.
From linear.appHow Proofsource uses Linear
Turns each AI visibility fix into a Linear issue with the evidence, then moves it when the fix is proven live.
- Know
See what needs doing and why
Proofsource finds the buyer question where ChatGPT or Perplexity names a competitor instead of you, and the page gap behind it.
- Act
Write the issue for you
The issue holds the problem, the AI answers that show it, the pages it touches and the fix, so engineers and writers do not start from a blank ticket.
- Ship
Create it in the right team
Choose the team, and Proofsource creates the issue, adding an AI visibility label when your workspace does not have one yet.
- Prove
Close the loop on the issue
Proofsource posts proof as comments, moves the issue when the fix is proven live, and reads the issue state back so the fix list matches your board.
