AI content detector

An AI content detector for content you're about to publish

AI Likelihood is the AI content detector inside the WriteWorks editor, made for marketing teams checking drafts before they go live. It estimates how likely a draft is to read as AI-written and shows the sentences driving the estimate. You get a calibrated probability with a range and a confidence level, never a verdict, so an editor can decide what to do with it.

The challenge

Why most AI detectors don't help editors

Verdicts, a separate tab and nothing to change.

Detectors that issue verdicts

A single "98% AI" with no range treats an estimate as a fact, and gets used to judge writers on evidence it doesn't have.

Checks that live in another tab

Pasting drafts into a separate checker means the result never reaches the draft, the editor or the approval.

No idea which sentences are the problem

A page-level number gives the writer nothing to change.

Third parties hold the citation

Roundups, reviews and forums are quoted ahead of your own pages, and nothing tells you which source displaced you.

The solution

How the AI content detector works

A calibrated probability, the sentences behind it and an accuracy bar it must pass first.

AI Likelihood shows a band (Likely human, Mixed or Likely AI), an approximate percentage, the range around it and a confidence level. The Likely AI band is set so that no more than 1% of human writing lands in it.

Featured story

“We advise SaaS brands on AI search, so having every page of our own site built on request was a little awkward. We switched to cache-friendly HTML, cleaned up the heading order, repaired our broken FAQ blocks and trimmed the sitemap. On the re-audit, 87% of pages came straight from cache, up from 0%, and every guide was in heading order. Some of our insight articles are still slow, and they're next.”

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams typically ask before getting started.

What is an AI content detector?+
An AI content detector estimates how likely a piece of text is to have been written by an AI model. Good ones present that as a probability with uncertainty, not a yes or no, because no detector is certain. AI Likelihood in WriteWorks shows a band, a percentage, a range and a confidence level.
Does Google penalize AI content?+
Google's published guidance says it rewards helpful, reliable content however it was produced, and treats content made mainly to manipulate rankings as spam, whether a person or a machine wrote it. So the question to ask of a draft is whether it is useful and original. That is what Human Signal scores; AI Likelihood tells you how the draft is likely to read.
Is AI Likelihood a verdict on who wrote the text?+
No. It is a calibrated probability, not a verdict. It's designed so that no more than 1% of human writing lands in Likely AI, and it always shows the range around the estimate. Use it to decide where to edit, not to judge a writer.
Which languages and lengths does it support?+
English only, and at least 300 words. Other languages are declined rather than scored, and shorter drafts are told how many more words are needed.
Is there an AI detection API?+
Yes, on the Agency tier of the AI Detection add-on. Send text to the WriteWorks API with a key that has detection access and get the same estimate the editor shows. Text sent to the API is not stored.
How do I get AI Likelihood?+
Add the AI Detection add-on to any plan. It comes in Starter, Pro and Agency tiers, listed on the pricing page, with add-on pricing shown in the platform before you buy. Scans beyond the monthly allowance use AI tokens from your plan.
Is there still a standalone AI detector page?+
No. AI detection now lives in the editor, next to the draft it's checking, so the result feeds straight into the edit.
