Why Pangram

Stop guessing.
Grade with certainty.

No More False Accusations

Pangram's Hard Negative Mining technology ensures legitimate student writing isn't flagged as AI. With a false positive rate of 1 in 10,000, you can grade with confidence — not doubt.

Technical approach

Why teachers
trust Pangram

Pangram was built by AI researchers from Google, Tesla, and Stanford who published their detection methods openly. We prove the science behind the score.

Detects "Humanized" Essays

Students use paraphrasing tools and AI humanizers to disguise AI writing. Pangram's adversarial training catches these evasion attempts that fool other detectors.

Fair to ESL Students

Our models are proven unbiased against non-native English speakers. We detect AI based on linguistic generation patterns, not just writing quality or perplexity.

Privacy First (FERPA)

SOC 2 Type 2 certified and FERPA compliant. Student papers are never used to train models or shared across institutions. Your students' data stays yours.

Teachers love Pangram

"Pangram is pretty incredible. Much better than other AI detection tools (by a country mile). I've used it and tested it thoroughly and seen minimal false positives and negatives."
Alex ImasChicago Booth
"Instead of detection being an additional layer I have to negotiate, Pangram is straightforward and makes verifying student work smooth."
"We compare human experts with five AI detectors, including Pangram and GPTZero. Among automatic detectors, Pangram significantly outperforms the rest."
"My students are so convinced of its accuracy that it seems to be an even greater deterrent than anything else. It is a great tool for a teacher to have in their arsenal."

Yes. Pangram detects content from all major LLMs and AI writing tools, including Grammarly AI, QuillBot, ChatGPT, Claude, and AI humanizer tools. Our adversarial training specifically targets paraphrasing and rewriting tools that students commonly use to disguise AI output.

AI detection is a decision-support tool, not a disciplinary weapon. We recommend using Pangram to facilitate conversations about AI use and help students understand the importance of original thinking — not as the sole basis for academic penalties. Many educators find that transparent AI policies, combined with detection, actually improve student engagement.

Yes. With a Pangram subscription, you can scan assignments in bulk through our dashboard or API. Many teachers also use our Chrome Extension to check assignments directly inside Google Docs or their LMS grading environment.

Yes. You can share results via a shareable link or a downloadable PDF report. This supports transparent communication and helps students understand exactly what was flagged and why.

A “mixed” result means some sections appear AI-generated while others are human-written. Use the sentence-level highlighting to see exactly which parts were flagged. This often indicates AI-assisted rather than fully AI-generated work — an important distinction for fair grading.

Pangram currently analyzes digital text input. Handwritten or scanned documents would need to be converted to text (via OCR) before analysis. We recommend using typed submissions for the most accurate detection results.

This is where Pangram's segment analysis shines. Instead of a binary AI/human verdict, you can see exactly which sections used AI assistance. This lets you assess whether students stayed within your policy guidelines for acceptable AI use.

We recommend a minimum of 50 words for reliable detection, though longer texts produce more accurate results. For very short responses (under 50 words), there may not be enough statistical signal for confident classification.

Pangram is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and FERPA compliant. Student submissions are processed securely and are never used to train our models or shared with third parties. Your institution's data policies are fully respected. Learn more about our AI detection for universities.

Pangram's downloadable PDF reports include the full text with highlighted AI sections, confidence scores, and a summary of findings. These reports are designed to be shared with parents, academic integrity boards, and administrators as supporting evidence alongside your professional judgment.
