What is an AI detector?
An AI detector is a tool that checks whether text reads as AI-generated. Most return a probability score that is frequently wrong and impossible to act on. This one is different: it is deterministic, flagging the exact words, phrases, and sentence patterns that read as AI (leverage, delve, “it’s worth noting”, over-long lists), each with a human fix, so you can see and fix what is flagged instead of trusting a black-box percentage. It runs in your browser, and nothing is uploaded.
How it works
Three steps, all in your browser. Every flag is an exact match with a fix, never a guessed probability.
Paste your text
Drop a tweet, thread, post, or bio into the box. The scan runs instantly in your browser, and nothing you paste is uploaded.
In today’s world, it’s worth noting that we leverage a robust, seamless platform to unlock synergy.
Read the flags
Every highlight is an exact match: violet for a word VoiceMoat refuses, amber for a common AI tell, pink for an AI sentence pattern. Tap any one for the fix.
In today’s world, we leverage a robust, seamless platform to unlock synergy. Not just fast, but reliable.
Fix and re-check
Apply a swap with one tap, or all of them at once, and watch the transparent AI-slop score drop. Then read it back so it still sounds like you.
Why these words make you sound like AI
Large language models reach for the same vocabulary far more often than people do. Words like leverage, delve, robust, and seamless, plus throat-clearing phrases like “it’s worth noting” and compliment openers like “great point”, are statistical fingerprints. One is fine. A cluster of them reads as machine-written.
This detector uses the same refused-word list that VoiceMoat applies to every draft, so what you fix here matches how the product writes. For the full breakdown, read the words AI overuses and why AI tweets all sound the same. If you draft in ChatGPT, see how to make ChatGPT write in your voice.

The same article, run through five popular detectors. No agreement.
Most AI detectors hand you a confidence score and hope you trust it. We ran one of our own articles through five popular detectors and got 94%, 100%, and 69% AI from three of them, while two others said human. Same text. A number that five tools cannot agree on is not something to act on, and false accusations are a real risk.
One of those tools even showed its work. It flagged the piece as AI mostly because of phrases like “ChatGPT is the” and “specialized AI tools”. In other words, it scored the article as AI largely because the article is about AI. A human writing the same review would be flagged the same way. That is topic detection dressed up as authorship detection.
So this tool never guesses. Every flag is an exact word, phrase, sentence pattern, or measured style signal, with the evidence shown so you can judge it yourself. A clean result means your writing is clear of known AI tells, not that a black box cleared you. Use it to fix your draft, not to accuse anyone.
Removing AI words is step one
Cutting the tells makes a draft cleaner, but a clean draft is not the same as one that sounds like you. The next step is voice. See which signals make your writing yours with the voice and tone analyzer, then let VoiceMoat hold that voice at volume. It refuses these words by default and scores every draft against your real writing fingerprint.

What is this AI detector?
A free AI detector that scans your text for the exact words, phrases, and sentence patterns that make writing read as AI-generated (leverage, delve, robust, 'for good reason', over-long lists), highlights each one, and suggests a human fix. It runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
How is this different from other AI detectors?
Other detectors hand you a probability ('73% AI') that is frequently wrong and impossible to act on. This one is deterministic: it flags exact words, phrases, and patterns from a known list and shows you the evidence, so you can see and fix what reads as AI. We ran one of our own articles through five detectors and got 94%, 100%, 69%, and two 'human' verdicts on the same text. This tool never guesses.
Are AI detectors accurate?
Probability detectors often are not. We ran a single article through five and got 94%, 100%, and 69% AI from three while two said 'human', on the exact same text. A number that five tools cannot agree on is not safe to act on, and false accusations are a real risk. That is why this tool shows exact, deterministic flags instead of a guess.
What words does AI overuse?
Common tells include leverage, delve, robust, seamless, unlock, navigate, elevate, and foster, plus phrases like 'it's worth noting' and 'a testament to', and em-dashes. One on its own is fine; a cluster of them is what reads as machine-written.
Does this detect ChatGPT or GPT-4 text?
It detects the patterns those models fall into, not a specific model. Because it flags the actual tells in the words on the page, it works regardless of which model wrote the text, or whether a person did.
What does it flag?
Three layers, all deterministic. First, VoiceMoat's actual refused-word cluster (the words our writing AI is told never to use). Second, a wider set of common AI tells: overused words (genuinely, navigate, unlock), stock phrases (for good reason, a testament to), and em-dashes. Third, AI sentence patterns like over-long lists and 'not just X, but Y'. Every flag carries a human fix or a rephrase note.
How is the AI-slop score calculated?
It is transparent: density (flagged words as a share of total words) plus how many different types of tell appear, clamped to a 0-100 range. Zero tells is always a clean 0. We show the full breakdown so it is never a black box.
Does using these words mean my writing is bad?
Not always. Some words are fine in context, and the common-tell layer (like 'navigate') has honest uses. The problem is that a pile of them together makes writing sound generic. Cut the ones that are not yours.
How do I make my writing actually sound like me?
Removing AI words is step one. VoiceMoat trains on your full profile and scores every draft against your real writing voice, so you keep your style even at volume. You can start free.
