AI Writing Detector — a free, private GPTZero alternative

AI Writing Detector is a free, private alternative to online AI detectors like GPTZero, ZeroGPT and Originality.ai. It checks whether English prose reads like AI using nine offline heuristics — cliche phrases, sentence-length uniformity, em-dash patterns, discourse markers and more — for up to 5,000 words. It flags patterns; it does not prove authorship. Your text never leaves your browser.

English prose, up to 5,000 words at a time.
