What the tool catches
The detector scans your text against Gregory's internal AI editing guide, which we have developed and updated for three years based on our work editing thousands of AI-assisted drafts across dozens of client accounts.
Some phrases that gave AI away a year ago, like “ever-evolving landscape,” don’t show up as often, and what’s replaced them is harder to spot.
Most patterns now are structural. Sentences that are technically fine but follow the same rhythm and length. Transitions that sound conversational but don’t carry meaning. Punctuation used incorrectly. Language meant to stand out without actually saying anything specific. None of it is necessarily wrong on its own, but over the course of a piece, it starts to stack up and look like all the other AI content on the internet.
How the tool works
Unlike other tools that claim to detect AI writing, Gregory’s AI Tell Detector focuses on the most glaring signs that AI wrote the draft — the same phrases and structures that reporters, customers, investors, and other audiences will instantly recognize as AI-written.
AI can help create great content with the help of a skilled editor, but failing to eliminate obvious AI tells can hurt your credibility and leave your content looking and sounding generic.
