Hi HN. I am Lokesh. I built Proofsource as an internal tool to help my finance ERP product , Rivane, to gain visibility into AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI mode and such. But when I talked about it to my friends, they also saw value in it and it became a product of itself. And now proofsource had 5 paying customers(paying $1500pm in total) in the first week itself and more than 60 brands used it to get their visibility since we launched out of beta last week.
