For Students
Check your own essay before you submit, understand what a detector score does and doesn't mean, and keep the records that protect you from a false positive.
For Teachers
Use probability scores and sentence highlights as conversation starters, alongside drafts and revision history, plus plagiarism checking.

Which Tool Answers Which Question
The tools answer different questions, and mixing them up is a common source of confusion. Pick the one that matches what you actually need to know.
| Your question | Tool | What it can’t tell you |
|---|---|---|
| Does this text read like AI writing? | AI Text Detector | Who wrote it, or whether AI was used for research or editing |
| Was this text copied from somewhere? | Plagiarism Checker | Matches in sources the provider can’t search, or whether text is AI-generated |
| Is this image AI-generated or face-edited? | AI Image Detector | Which generator made it; results weaken on compressed copies |
| Does this clip look AI-generated? | AI Video Detector | Whether a face was swapped — it isn’t a deepfake detector |
| Are there spelling or grammar mistakes? | Grammar Checker | Every error — suggestions are automated and can be wrong |
Before You Act on a Result
- Treat every detection score as a probability. Detectors can flag human writing as AI and miss AI content.
- Look for other evidence: drafts, version history, sources, the original file, or where a clip was first posted.
- Talk to the person involved before drawing conclusions about their work.
- Never base an academic, hiring or legal decision on a detector score alone.

Content Verification
Publishers and editors check articles, blog posts, and submissions for AI-generated content.
Quality Assurance
Content teams verify that outsourced or freelance writing meets authenticity standards.
Image Verification
Photographers and media professionals check images for signs of AI generation or face manipulation.
Video Authentication
Journalists and fact-checkers get an AI-generation signal on video clips as one input to their verification.
Self-Checking
Writers see how a detector reads their own work before sending it to clients or publishers, knowing any detector can be wrong.
