I vibe coded a new product on the side while running @every—and today we're launching it for free. It's called Proof, and it’s a live collaborative document editor where humans and AI agents work together in the same doc. It’s built from the ground up for the kinds of documents agents are increasingly writing: bug reports, PRDs, implementation plans, research briefs, copy audits, strategy docs, memos, and proposals. It's fast, free, and open source—available now at proofeditor.ai. Why Proof? When everyone on your team is working with agents, there's suddenly a ton of AI-generated text flying around—planning docs, strategy memos, session recaps. But the current process for collaborating and iterating on agent-generated writing is…weirdly primitive. It mostly takes place in Markdown files on your laptop, which makes it reminiscent of document editing in 1999. That’s why we built Proof. What makes Proof different? - Proof is agent-native. Anything you can do in Proof, your agent can do just as easily. - Proof tracks provenance: A colored rail on the left side of every document tracks who wrote what. Green means human, Purple means AI. - Proof is login-free and open source: This is because we want Proof to be your agent's favorite document editor. How we use Proof @every: - @bran_don_gell had @OpenAI's Codex write a feature plan in Proof, then tagged my personal Claw (R2-C2) in Slack to review it. R2-C2 left feedback, I added comments, Brandon's agent revised the plan, and then Codex executed on it. Brandon submitted a PR to production without writing a line of code. - @tedescau texts his Claw ideas while he's out on a run, then has it maintain a running Proof doc for his weekly food newsletter. He dictates drafts using @naveennaidu_m's @usemonologue, writes into the outline himself, and uses the provenance gutter to track what's his voice vs. the agent's. - @kieranklaassen uses it as a lightweight scratchpad for his compound engineering workflow. He brainstorms with an agent in the terminal, shares to Proof with one click, then opens the doc to leave comments and tells the agent to go work on them. His take: Proof's job is to communicate about writing and ideas. Proof is free, open source, and requires no login. I built the whole thing by vibe coding between meetings. I sat down with Brandon, Kieran, and Austin on @every's AI & I to demo it live and talk about how it's changing the way we work. If you're building with agents and need a better way to collaborate on text, this one's for you. Watch below!
