Copyleaks

What is Copyleaks?

Copyleaks is a leading global platform for plagiarism detection and writing authenticity, widely recognized for the high accuracy of its AI Content Detector. The system helps schools, universities, news portals, book publishers, and SEO professionals identify whether a text was copied from online sources or artificially generated by language models (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude), helping maintain academic and editorial integrity.

How it works

The user uploads text files, types content directly into the platform, or inputs a URL. Copyleaks splits the document into parts and utilizes language processing and machine learning algorithms to perform semantic searches across billions of web pages, academic papers, and patents. In parallel, the tool analyzes the text's predictability and linguistic entropy to classify the likelihood of AI authorship, highlighting specific machine-written segments with colored markings.
