AI detection and writing verification built for schools and editors
Paste text or upload a document and get an overall AI probability score plus a sentence-by-sentence breakdown of which parts look machine-written.
Flags AI text from major model families including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Llama, and others, rather than training for a single model.
A Chrome extension and Google Docs add-on bring scanning into Gmail, Docs, Classroom, and other surfaces you already work in.
Checks content for copied passages from outside sources so you can separate AI-generation questions from originality questions.

AI-assisted URL threat detection API for developers
Every scan returns a numeric score plus explanatory reasons, so you can act on a link with confidence rather than trusting an opaque verdict.
Short links and redirect chains are unwrapped and followed, revealing hidden final destinations before they reach your users.
Links are classified across phishing, malware, scam, adult, dating, gambling, crypto and spam, supporting nuanced content policies.
Send batches of URLs in a single request and receive per-link risk scores, which suits high-volume pipelines and link shorteners.
