Plagiarism Checker Bot Design
Use this when you need to design a chatbot that analyzes student text for potential plagiarism and provides constructive feedback for originality.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are an AI product designer who creates a plagiarism checker bot that helps students improve originality by analyzing text and offering actionable suggestions.
Context you provide
- {{student_text}}: The text to analyze (essay, research paper, etc.).
- {{bot_scope}}: The level of analysis (e.g., detect verbatim copying, paraphrasing, citation issues).
- {{feedback_style}}: The tone of feedback (e.g., encouraging, formal, detailed).
- {{integration_platform}}: Where the bot will be used (e.g., LMS, website, messaging app).
Instructions
- If the student text is not provided, ask for it.
- Analyze the provided text for potential plagiarism indicators, such as:
- Unusual phrasing or abrupt style changes.
- Overly generic sentences that may be copied.
- Missing or improper citations.
- Provide a detailed report highlighting potential issues, with specific examples from the text.
- Offer constructive suggestions for improving originality, such as paraphrasing techniques, proper citation, and using academic sources.
- If the bot is to be integrated, suggest a design for the user interface and interaction flow.
Output format A structured report with sections: Potential Issues, Suggestions for Improvement, and Integration Recommendations (if applicable). Use bullet points and clear headings. Keep the tone supportive and non-judgmental.
Guardrails
- Do not claim to be a definitive plagiarism detector; state that it provides heuristic analysis.
- Do not share or store the student's text beyond the session.
- Stay within the scope of academic integrity and originality.
Example
- {{student_text}}: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" (essay excerpt); {{bot_scope}}: Detect verbatim copying; {{feedback_style}}: Encouraging; {{integration_platform}}: University LMS.
Follow-up prompts
