DetectMy

DetectMy is a tool that analyzes text to identify whether it was written by a human, generated by an AI like ChatGPT, or paraphrased by an AI tool. You simply paste your text or upload a .txt, .pdf, or .docx file, and it provides a percentage score for the entire text along with a color-coded, sentence-by-sentence breakdown. It explains its reasoning for each classification, pointing out specific patterns or phrases that influenced its decision.

The tool works by scanning for predictable patterns typical of AI writing, such as repetitive sentence structures, overuse of transitional phrases, and generic vocabulary. It contrasts this with the more random and context-specific nature of human writing. What makes it stand out is its focus on academic writing and its detailed, transparent explanations for each flagged sentence, which helps users understand the 'why' behind the score instead of just receiving a number.

This tool is most useful for students and educators. Students can use it to check their own work before submission to ensure it won't be falsely flagged by their institution's systems, especially if they used AI for brainstorming or light editing. Educators can use it as a preliminary check on student submissions. It's particularly valuable for non-native English speakers and those in fields with highly formulaic writing conventions, who are often at a higher risk of false positives from other detection systems.
