The Copyleaks AI Text Detection API tells you whether text was written by a human or generated by an AI model such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. For each section of text it returns a classification (human or AI), plus an overall human-versus-AI summary, and it explains results with AI Logic - so you can spot AI-generated content across 30+ languages with independently tested accuracy and very few false positives. Detect AI-generated Content

Why Detecting AI Content Matters

Generative AI tools have completely changed how we create content. They’re amazing tools, but sometimes you really need to know that content is authentic:
  • Academic Honesty: We want to empower students to develop their own writing skills and critical thinking
  • Content Quality: Your readers trust that content comes from real human experience and expertise, while content generated by LLMs often contains inaccuracies or lacks depth
  • Brand Trust: Your audience expects you to be upfront about how your content is created
  • Legal Requirements: Some fields actually require proof that humans wrote the content
AI-generated text can look exactly like something a person wrote. Our detection API helps you tell the difference, so you can keep things authentic and trustworthy in a world where AI is everywhere.
