Results are raw - scores, counts, sources, and matched text. Your agent interprets, aggregates, and explains.

The four levels

Nothing is withheld at any level. The default is narrow so a long document does not arrive all at once - a widely-copied document can match hundreds of sources. “What did this match?” needs detail; summary gives the count, not the list.
Scores are percentages, 0-100 to one decimal place - 98.5.

Results, never the document

What comes back is the flagged parts, never the document itself - matches, AI content, AI phrases and Excluded text, not the text between them. The document stays in Copyleaks and cannot be retrieved through the connector. Every completed scan carries a link to its report: Open this scan in Copyleaks. No finding is held back from the results - the report is where the whole marked-up document lives.

Match types

Strongest first. The same labels your report and scan settings use.

Where matches come from

This Batch matches appear only when Cross-check documents is on, and count toward the score like any other match. A score carried entirely by This Batch usually means the same document was sent twice. Any source may also carry the AI Source Match tag, meaning that source is itself AI-generated. It is a tag on a source, never a source type.

AI results - two layers

AI content - passages identified as AI-written. AI phrases - specific phrases within that content. Phrases are always inside AI content, never a separate category. Each AI phrase carries a frequency: how many times more often that phrase appears in AI writing than in human writing. A phrase at 220x turns up 220 times more often in AI text.
Higher frequency means more distinctive of AI writing - it does not mean the passage is more likely to be AI.

Cheat Detection

Where a plagiarism scan found them, hidden characters, white ink and text manipulation come back as flagged spans with their exact text and position - in copyleaks_get_results and in document order from copyleaks_get_flagged_segments.

Excluded text is not Excluded sources

  • Excluded text - content your profile’s Exclusions left out of the score: references, quotes, citations, table of contents, headings, headers and footers, code comments.
  • Excluded sources - sources you removed from the score afterwards.
