AI detector

Paste a draft and Detect AI for an AI percentage, signals, and exportable results — then Humanize if it still reads like a model.

Detector workflow: paste → Detect AI → export JSON/CSV → optional Strong humanize.

Built for everyone

Humanize any AI-generated draft

Writers

Turn stiff model drafts into readable copy with your channel’s cadence — faster drafts, less rewrite fatigue.

Marketers

Ship LinkedIn, email, and ads that don’t read like spammy AI templates — keep trust when you publish.

Researchers

Polish abstracts and notes so they sound authored, not generated — while keeping claims and citations intact.

Self-check first

Check voice before you publish

Carbon’s detector blends style heuristics with an LLM judge so you can catch polished academic AI that “sounds smart” but still reads like a model. Scores are Carbon’s own style check — not a third-party Turnitin/GPTZero certificate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Carbon for free?

Yes. The Free plan includes monthly word allowance for Check voice and Humanize. After a humanize you also get one Free Retry on the same draft that does not burn extra words.

How does the AI check work?

Carbon blends local style heuristics (sentence burstiness, hedge stacks, abstract-noun density, and more) with a structured LLM judge, then shows an AI percentage you can export. It is a self-edit score — not a certified third-party detector badge.

Does Carbon check plagiarism?

Yes — Check plagiarism is a built-in originality risk scan using Carbon’s AI (plus local heuristics). It estimates risk and flags quote-like / likely-copied passages. It is not Turnitin or a web crawl. Clear plagiarism rewrites unattributed stretches in your own words while keeping meaning and citations.

What does Light / Standard / Strong mean?

Light is a gentle polish. Standard is a full humanize for your selected format. Strong pushes hardest for human rhythm — uneven sentences, fewer buzzwords, more concrete voice — without inventing facts. If the after-score is still high, Carbon runs an automatic repair pass.

Is Carbon ethical to use?

Carbon is for improving your own drafts and making AI-assisted writing clearer and more human. Keep authorship honest for your context (school, work, client rules).

Can I automate this?

Yes — use the Automate page and API key to call humanize/check from n8n or your own tools.
