Proofsource and Reddit: disclosed replies in the threads AI cites
AI engines often cite Reddit threads. Once this connection opens, Proofsource will post a reply you approved, word for word, from your brand's own Reddit account in those threads, with a clear disclosure of who you work for, then track its score, replies and removal. It is in early access. Until then a reply stays a draft that you post yourself.
I work for Driffle, so weigh this accordingly. If your calls are mostly Zoom, the thing to check is whether the notes name the next step. Happy to share how we handle it.

Why we love Reddit
In the makers' own words, from their own pages. Proofsource builds on it, never around it.
Communities built around real topics
Reddit is organized into communities, each with its own subject and its own rules, which is why its threads hold such specific, useful answers.
From reddit.comClear norms for good behavior
Reddiquette sets out what good participation looks like, such as being open and honest and reading a community's rules, so conversations stay worth reading.
From reddit.comVoting that surfaces what helps
Members vote on posts and comments, so the most useful replies tend to rise, and a reply's score tells you how it landed.
From reddit.comHow Proofsource uses Reddit
Would post a reply you approved, word for word, from your own Reddit account with a disclosure, then track it.
- Know
Find the threads AI cites
Proofsource sees which Reddit threads the engines cite for your buyer questions, and judges whether your brand can add something true.
- Act
Draft a helpful, disclosed reply
The draft answers the thread's question first, says who you work for, and checks the subreddit's rules before it is offered.
- Ship
Post exactly what you approved
A person approves the exact text. When posting is open, Proofsource posts that text from the brand's own account. Today a person posts it by hand.
- Prove
Track what happened
Proofsource will track the reply's score, replies and whether it was removed, and re-asks the questions across the engines.
