AI Detector: does your draft still read like AI?

We show you which sentences carry the tells — stock transitions, uniform rhythm, generic phrasing — and let you rewrite them. Free with no daily limit, because we publish our error rates instead of an accuracy claim.

A detector score means more when the sentences around it are still visible.
Process

Use the detector as a review workflow, not a verdict button.

01

Paste a real draft

Use enough text for the detector to see sentence context, not just isolated fragments that can overstate or hide a pattern.

02

Review the hotspots

Look at the score together with sentence-level highlights, explanation cards, and benchmark guidance before you decide what the result means.

03

Choose the next path

Rewrite the flagged lines, keep the draft as it is, or rewrite a broader section — and run a second detector yourself if the submission is one that matters.

Analysis

What the detector actually analyzes.

01

Sentence pattern review

The detector checks variation in sentence structure, vocabulary, and rhythm to spot language that feels too uniform or mechanically predictable.

02

Statistical ensemble score

Our server-side engine scores sentence variance, punctuation density, and known AI phrasing patterns — a statistical model, not an LLM — to estimate how closely the wording resembles common AI-generated text.

03

Combined interpretation

The final read blends the model result with pattern evidence so a single signal does not decide the whole judgment on its own.

Use cases

Built for review contexts where a single score is not enough.

Teachers

Screen student submissions

Run a first-pass integrity check, then inspect the flagged lines before you decide whether a draft needs a conversation, not just a score screenshot.

Students

Audit your own draft

If you used AI for brainstorming or outlining, the detector can help you see whether the finished submission still carries patterns you want to revise first.

Editors

Review client or contributor copy

Check whether a draft needs a second detector opinion, light human cleanup, or a broader rewrite before it enters an editorial workflow.

Researchers

Stress-test formal writing

Academic and report-style prose can trigger false positives, so sentence-level review is useful when you need to distinguish template-like structure from actual detector risk.

Questions

What people ask before they trust a detector result.

How accurate is the AI detector?
No detector is perfectly accurate. Coda One runs a statistical ensemble — sentence variance, punctuation density, and known AI phrasing patterns — and publishes its real error rates on the accuracy page. Treat the result as a screening signal, then verify the flagged passages manually before you act on it.
Can I start using the detector right away?
Yes. The AI Detector starts in your browser without a separate signup wall, so you can paste text and run a first-pass check immediately.
What file formats can I upload?
The current detector flow supports .txt, .pdf, and .docx files. Review the extracted text before you rely on the score, especially for documents with unusual formatting or scanned pages.
Can I humanize the detected text?
Yes. Review the flagged sentences first, then send the draft into AI Humanizer if the detector score is too high for your use case.
How long does analysis take?
A few seconds at most. The detector is a statistical engine, not a large language model, so there is no model to download and no queue — results return as soon as the analysis completes.
Which AI tools does it detect — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini?
The detector is designed to flag writing patterns commonly seen in outputs from tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and similar models. It is reviewing the text itself, not fingerprinting a single vendor.
Why might my human-written text score as AI?
AI detectors can produce false positives for text that uses formal structure, repetitive phrasing, or predictable sentence patterns — even when written by a human. Academic writing, business reports, and template-heavy content are more prone to this. The per-sentence view helps identify which specific passages triggered the flag.
Is my text sent to any server when I analyze it?
Yes. When you click Analyze, your text is sent over HTTPS to our detection API and scored by our statistical engine. No AI model reads it, and it is never used to train models. A copy of the analysis is cached for up to 24 hours so repeat checks of the same text return instantly, then expires — see /privacy for the full policy.
How does access work compared with other writing tools?
The detector is positioned as a browser-first route that you can use directly from the page. Other writing tools can have their own usage rules, but the detector itself is designed for a lower-friction first check.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can start with the detector directly from the page. Create an account only if you want usage history or plan management later.
Can I pay with cryptocurrency?
Check the current pricing page for the latest payment methods and plan details.
Is it safe for academic use?
Use the detector as a review aid, not as the only decision-maker. Follow your school or institution's AI policy, and keep manual review in the loop for any high-stakes academic decision.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The detector runs in mobile browsers, though longer documents are usually easier to review on desktop because the sentence-level output is denser.
Is there a Chrome extension?
See the Chrome extension page for the current tool list and workflow details.
How does this compare to GPTZero?
Both routes help screen for AI-generated text, but the product shape is different. Coda One is a browser-first detector route with sentence-level review and a direct next step when a draft needs revision. GPTZero is a separate detection product with its own plan structure and review workflow.

Coda One's AI Content Detector is built for fast screening with sentence-level context. Use it to inspect flagged passages, compare the result when needed, and only move into humanizing or rewriting when the evidence stays consistent across the draft.
