How to use this

• Paste at least a full paragraph of your own writing.
• Read the result as a signal about style, not a verdict.
• If you wrote the text yourself and it scored high, save your drafts and read the essay-craft pieces before you change anything.

Important caveats

Detectors are imperfect. Real human writing, especially academic prose, regularly false-positives. Use any score as one input among several, not as proof of anything by itself. Submitting AI-generated work as your own violates standard academic integrity policies; the existence of this tool does not change that.
