Common questions
What link do I paste?
Your YouTube channel, like youtube.com/@mkbhd. An Instagram profile link works too.
Who counts as a competitor for a creator?
The channels AI names beside you on your topics. We confirm each one from its own YouTube channel, show its subscriber count, and you check the list before the scan runs.
What do you ask the AI engines?
The questions your audience asks before picking who to watch, plus questions about you by name. The two are counted separately, so one never inflates the other.
Which AI engines does the first scan ask?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. Each gets the same 25 questions, so the first scan returns 100 answers.
How is this different from YouTube Analytics?
YouTube Analytics shows how viewers find you on YouTube. Proofsource shows whether AI engines name you when someone asks them instead.
