Free tool

AI-likeness checker.

A rule-based heuristic that flags formulaic phrases and AI-favoured words. Honest by design: it nudges you to sound more natural, it does not pretend to detect AI.

← All tools

A rule-based heuristic look for formulaic phrases and AI-favoured words in your text. It is an honest nudge to sound more natural — not a real AI detector (no tool can reliably do that).

About this tool

How to use the ai-likeness checker.

What it does. A rule-based heuristic that flags formulaic phrases and AI-favoured wording in your text - an honesty nudge, not a verdict.

How to use it. Paste the text, analyse, and judge each flag. Where a flagged phrase does real work, keep it; where it is filler - in today's fast-paced world and friends - rewrite it in your own voice. No tool can reliably detect AI; this one detects the style.

Why it matters. If you edit AI-drafted text, the risk is shipping generic prose under your name. This finds the generic so your voice can replace it.

Your data. The tool runs entirely in your browser - text you paste never leaves the page, and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Good to know

Treat every flag as a question, not an instruction - the goal is a draft that sounds like you, not a draft that avoids a word list. If a flagged phrase is genuinely yours, keep it without guilt.

Where this fits

Quality tools are the last pass, not the first: they catch what familiarity has made you blind to once the real work is done. Used at the end they are a safety net; used at the start they become a way to avoid writing. Finish the draft first, then let the checks be ruthless on your behalf. The order matters less than the habit: same pass, same checks, every time, so nothing depends on how tired you are.
