Check if an essay reads as AI-written
Paste an essay and get an analysis of how AI-like it reads, with the specific patterns explained.
What is AI Essay Detector?
AI Essay Detector is a free AI writing tool that analyses an essay for the writing patterns typical of AI-generated text and explains exactly what it finds. It runs on a pool of leading AI models, automatically selecting the best one for your specific request, and delivers polished, original writing drafts tailored to your tone and purpose in seconds. No account or subscription is required. Built for professionals, marketers, and entrepreneurs who need strong written communication on demand, it is private by default: nothing is stored after your session ends.
- ✦Write immediately, with no account standing between you and the draft
- ✦Every request is routed to a model suited to writing work
- ✦Drafts and prompts are cleared when you close the tab
For the best results: Paste the complete essay rather than a fragment — verdicts on short excerpts are much less reliable. The result is a stylistic estimate, not proof.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a teacher use this to prove a student used AI?
No, and that's a design position, not a disclaimer. The analysis is a stylistic estimate, not a validated classifier, and stylistic evidence alone can't establish authorship in either direction. Formulaic writers and students working in a second language get flagged by pattern-based analysis disproportionately. Use the findings to open a conversation and compare against the student's known writing, never as the basis for an accusation.
I wrote every word myself, so why does it read as AI-like?
Because taught academic style overlaps heavily with machine style. The five-paragraph structure, stock transitions like 'furthermore', evenly weighted sentences and hedged conclusions are exactly what schools reward and exactly what AI produces. The analysis shows you which of those habits your essay leans on, which is useful to know even when the explanation is simply that you write the way essays are taught.
Will Grammarly or heavy editing make my essay look generated?
Light corrections, spelling, punctuation, the odd word swap, barely move stylistic patterns. Full-sentence rewriting tools are different: accept enough of their suggestions and your prose genuinely drifts toward machine phrasing, because machine phrasing is what produced it. The analysis can't tell you which tool caused a pattern, only that the pattern is present, so keep your drafts if you lean on editing software.
How should I revise an essay that comes back reading AI-like?
Work on the patterns the analysis names rather than swapping synonyms. Vary sentence length deliberately, replace stock transitions with ones that carry your actual logic, commit to positions instead of hedging everything, and let one genuinely specific example interrupt the abstractions. Then run the revised essay through again to see which of the original flags have cleared.
A detector at uni flagged my work. Will this clear me?
No tool can certify that you wrote something, this one included, and anything claiming otherwise is overselling. What it offers an accused student is comprehension: a plain-English account of which stylistic features look machine-typical, so you can respond specifically instead of just denying. Your stronger evidence lives elsewhere, in draft versions, document edit history and notes, so gather that first.
What are the usage limits?
Writing tools are unmetered during the current free launch phase — draft, redraft, and polish without counting requests. Only a short per-minute anti-abuse limit applies, which normal writing never touches. Paid plans with higher limits and priority model access are coming soon.
