Accuracy & methodology
We benchmark at 99.1% accuracy on the RAID benchmark across GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7, with a 1.2% false-positive rate. Every result publishes its confidence band so you can decide what to do with the verdict. No detector is perfect - we're upfront about that.
The AI score is the model's estimate of how much of the input was generated. Confidence is the model's certainty about that score. A 90% score with 60% confidence is very different from 90% / 95%, and we surface both.
