What is Passed?
Passed is an AI detector and academic integrity platform built for educators. It combines AI content detection, plagiarism checking, and document writing analysis to help teachers verify whether student assignments were written by a human or generated by AI. Rather than returning a single binary score, Passed provides layered evidence — including a full writing replay, revision history, paste-in tracking, and time-on-document data — to support more informed and defensible academic integrity decisions.
Features & Benefits
- AI Detection – Scan submitted text for AI-generated content using Originality.ai’s detection engine, trained on GPT-2, GPT-3, GPT-4, GPT-J, and ChatGPT outputs, with a scored result indicating the likelihood of AI involvement.
- Plagiarism Check – Identify non-cited passages and potential plagiarism alongside AI detection in a single document scan.
- Document Audit – Analyze a student’s full document for AI reliance score, plagiarism score, paste-in frequency, and revision history with timestamps in one consolidated report.
- Replay Tool – Watch a full keystroke-level replay of how a document was written, at adjustable playback speed, to visually verify the writing process.
- History Report – Review the complete writing timeline including individual contributions, time spent, and writing flow to assess genuine engagement with the assignment.
- Paste-In Analysis – Track all content pasted into a document during its creation to identify externally sourced material.
- Transition Words Detection Tool – Identify transition word usage in submitted text as a free standalone tool.
- Compare Text Tool – Compare two text samples side by side as a free standalone tool.
- Academic Honesty Reports – Generate comprehensive reports for students disputing AI detection accusations, combining detection and document analysis data to support their case.
- Chrome Extension – Install a browser extension that integrates directly with Google Docs for in-document analysis without requiring students to use new software.
Real-World Applications
Teachers and professors can use Passed as an AI detector to move beyond a single detection score when reviewing student submissions. The Replay Tool provides a visual record of how an essay was written — keystrokes, pauses, deletions — which can confirm or refute suspicions about AI use without relying solely on automated scores. This approach reduces the risk of falsely accusing students based on detection errors alone.
Schools and institutions managing high assignment volumes across multiple classes may use the Document Audit to batch-review submissions with structured evidence. Revision tracking and time-on-document data give educators additional context about student effort, which can be factored into academic integrity decisions alongside detection scores. The Chrome extension integrates directly into Google Docs workflows, removing the need for students to submit work through a separate system.
Students who have been flagged incorrectly by AI detection tools may use the Academic Honesty Report feature to generate supporting evidence for their case. The report combines industry-standard detection results with document history data, giving students a structured way to demonstrate the originality of their work to instructors or academic committees.
Language arts and writing instructors may use the History Report and writing flow analysis to track student progress over time, identify where students are struggling, and spot over-reliance on pasting or external sources as a coaching tool rather than purely a disciplinary one.
