GPTZero identifies likely AI-generated writing and highlights detected AI use at document, sentence, and word level. Its detector can classify text as human, AI, or mixed, and provides confidence scores, explanations, AI vocabulary, and sentence-by-sentence highlighting. Advanced Scan points to passages contributing most to an AI classification. Users can submit pasted text or DOCX, PDF, and image files; the technology page says it can analyze up to 50 files at a time. GPTZero lists support for English, German, Portuguese, French, and Spanish, and detector coverage for text from ChatGPT, GPT-3 through GPT-6, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and other models. Additional tools include Writing Replay, plagiarism checking, writing feedback, and grammar checking. The Chrome extension scans webpages and Google Docs, and integrations include Google Classroom, Canvas, an API, and Zapier. GPTZero says its results may be wrong, perform better on longer English prose, and should not be used alone to punish students. The free plan costs nothing. Paid plans start at $8.33 a month when billed annually.
