See the writer,
build the thinker.

We give teachers the writing process itself: every keystroke, every revision, every moment a student paused to think. Plus autograding designed by teachers, so feedback reaches students while it can still help them grow.

Why detection alone is failing

A score isn't evidence.
And teachers know it.

Telling a student "a detector says this is 73% AI" isn't a conversation a teacher can win, or one they should have to have. Real evidence is the work of getting there: a sentence reworked until it says what the student means, the long pause before the right word. That productive struggle isn't a flaw in the process. It's where the learning happens.

False accusations
Teachers tell us detectors have flagged honest students with nothing behind the score: no way to defend the call, and no way to clear the student.
Gaming the score
When the score is the goal, students learn to beat the detector, not to write. The struggle that builds a writer gets spent on dodging a number.
Evidence, not guesses
A percentage asks you to take it on faith. Checkmark shows you how the essay was actually written, so any conversation with a student starts from evidence you can both see.
What we believe

Three things every school should expect.

Checkmark isn't a stricter version of what's already on the market. It's built around a different idea of what these tools are for.

Accessibility

Priced so every school can afford it.

Real academic integrity tools shouldn’t be a luxury for well-funded districts. Our pricing fits a Title I budget and a private-school budget the same way, because students at both deserve a fair process.

Pricing that fits any budget
Simplicity

Deploys once. Then disappears.

Drop it into Canvas, Google Classroom, or Buzz. No student downloads, no new logins, no Chrome extensions to police. Teachers see signals where they already grade, right inside the assignment.

Productive struggle

Protects the part that matters.

Real growth happens when a student wrestles with a sentence. Checkmark exists to keep that struggle real, to make sure the work that arrives in your inbox is the work a student actually did.

How it works

From draft to report in three steps.

However a student writes, Checkmark reads it, scans it, and hands you a report you can act on, so feedback reaches students in time to help them grow.

However the work is written, it all flows into one pipeline:

Native LMS integration

Most integrity tools redirect students to a third-party site. We don't. Checkmark reads the assignment text box where students already write, across Canvas, Google Classroom, and Buzz LMS, without breaking their focus or their flow of thinking.

  • Write in the assignment text box, or submit a Word or Google Doc
  • No student account, no extension, no app
  • Single SSO install for the whole district
  • Data stays in your existing LMS gradebook
No keystroke data? Still covered.

Submit any file type to run the static AI detector on its own.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Checkmark surfaces AI-generated writing, plagiarism, and copy-paste activity, and reconstructs the writing process itself through keystroke playback, so you see how a piece of work came to be, not just a score.
Checkmark offers flexible enterprise/institutional plans for departments, institutions, and districts. Contact our team for a quote tailored to your institution's size and needs.
Checkmark is designed to identify AI-writing patterns with high confidence. When grammar, word choice, sentence structure, and rhythm align, AI-generated or AI-assisted writing is the most likely explanation. Review that signal alongside drafting history, paste events, and other context before making a decision.
Student work is stored so teachers can see their reports, and we never sell it. Under our privacy policy, student submissions are not used to train AI models.
Schools own their students' work, our data agreements designate Checkmark as a school official under FERPA, and we never sell student data or use it for advertising. Our Security page explains how the data is protected.
Checkmark supports Google Docs and .docx (Microsoft Word) files. Because our AI detection relies on a document's revision history, we're unable to support PDFs or other static file formats.
Yes. To enable AI detection for Word documents, you'll need to install Checkmark's Microsoft Word add-in, which captures the revision history Checkmark uses for its analysis.

Built with students in mind.
