Make AI detection actionable

The goal is not to accuse a writer from one score. The goal is to detect AI writing signals early enough that an editor, instructor, or moderator can review the right content before it causes trust issues.

Grammarly's AI Detector explains the public detector experience, and Grammarly's detector accuracy guidance explains why results depend on text length and editing history. For the technical background, use the AI Detection Explained guide.

Review rules for responsible detection

When you detect AI writing, treat the result as a risk signal. Do not use one score as sole evidence for discipline, rejection, or public accusation. Text length, language, editing history, and writing style all affect detection reliability.

For teams, define thresholds by workflow. A blog draft may need editing. A student submission may need conversation and evidence. A spam queue may need automated routing. The same detector signal should not trigger the same action everywhere.

Trust and source note

Grammarly AI Detector documents the detector experience. Grammarly's accuracy guidance explains why AI detection tools should be used carefully. Use those sources for context, then validate your detect AI writing workflow against your own content samples.
