Aithor Launches AI Detector to Help Writers, Educators, and Teams Spot AI-Generated Text
Tallinn, Estonia - February 21, 2026
Aithor has launched AI Detector, a web-based checker that flags the likelihood of AI-generated writing in academic and professional text. It meets a growing push from schools, publishers, and clients for clearer disclosure and authorship standards.
What the AI Detector Does
The tool analyzes signals often found in text produced by large language models, including ChatGPT, GPT-4, Gemini, and similar systems. Paste your copy into the checker and you'll get an AI-likelihood score, along with highlighted passages that may reflect AI-style patterns.
It's built for students, educators, researchers, editors, and working writers who need fast, practical checks. The interface highlights where to review, so you can revise, cite sources, or add a disclosure when appropriate.
Why This Matters to Writers
- Clients and publications are tightening policies on AI use and attribution. A quick scan helps you submit clean, transparent work.
- Editors are using detectors already. Running your own check reduces back-and-forth and protects your professional reputation.
- If you use AI for drafts or outlines, the score helps you decide what to rewrite in your voice and what to disclose.
- Pitches, case studies, bios, and resumes benefit from a human touch; flagged sections show where your voice is too generic.
How to Fit It Into Your Workflow
- Scan before you submit. Note any flagged lines, then add specific detail, lived experience, or original analysis where needed.
- Disclose when you've used AI for ideation or structuring. A short line in your cover note can save relationships.
- Keep a draft trail. Save your research notes and earlier versions to show your process if a client asks.
- Check sections, not just whole docs. Long, formulaic passages are more likely to flag-especially summaries and intros.
- Use the score as a signal, not a verdict. Pair it with your editorial judgment and house guidelines.
What Aithor Says
"Our goal with the AI Detector is to provide practical, accessible insight into AI-generated writing patterns," said Alex Guyden, Head of SEO at Aithor. "As AI-assisted writing becomes more common, people need tools that help them evaluate text responsibly, not through assumptions, but through clearer signals and transparency."
Limitations and Responsible Use
- No AI detector is perfect. False positives happen, especially with concise summaries or common phrasing.
- Use multiple inputs: your editorial standards, documented sources, and author interviews matter more than any single score.
- For academic contexts, treat detector results as a prompt for conversation and verification-not as sole evidence.
For Educators and Editors
- Adopt "review first, discipline last." Use the highlights to ask clarifying questions and request drafts or sources.
- Set clear policies on acceptable AI use (brainstorming, outlines, grammar checks) and what requires disclosure.
- Keep a simple record: timestamped results, rubrics, and notes. Consistency protects both students and staff.
