The Science

How AI Detection Works

Our platform uses two core metrics rooted in computational linguistics to differentiate between human and AI-generated text.

Perplexity

How Predictable Is the Text?

Perplexity measures how surprising or unpredictable a piece of text is. Think of it like this: when you read a sentence, some words are easily guessable, while others are unexpected. AI-generated text tends to pick the most probable next word, resulting in low perplexity.

Low Perplexity (AI)

"The cat sat on the mat and looked at the door."

High Perplexity (Human)

"The old tabby sprawled across the welcome mat, one eye suspiciously tracking the mailman."

Burstiness

How Varied Is the Sentence Structure?

Burstiness looks at the variation in sentence structure and complexity. Humans write with a natural rhythm: short punchy sentences mixed with longer, flowing ones. AI tends to be more uniform, keeping sentences at a consistent, predictable length.

Low Burstiness (AI)

Uniform sentence lengths

High Burstiness (Human)

Varied sentence lengths

The Detection Process

From input to insight in milliseconds.

1

Input Text

Paste or upload your content for analysis.

2

Tokenization

Text is broken into tokens for granular analysis.

3

Deep Analysis

Perplexity and burstiness are computed per sentence.

4

Score & Report

You receive a probability score with sentence highlighting.

AI Humanizer

How Humanization Improves Your Content

Our humanizer works by analyzing the exact patterns that AI detectors look for and rewriting them. It increases perplexity, adds burstiness, and diversifies vocabulary—all while keeping meaning intact.

  • Replaces predictable phrasing with natural alternatives
  • Introduces sentence length variation (burstiness)
  • Preserves original meaning and context
AI Input (Low Perplexity)

"The implementation of machine learning algorithms enables unprecedented levels of efficiency."

Humanized Output (High Perplexity)

"Using smart machine learning, we've been able to work way faster than before."
