Features

Tools for detecting AI-generated content in code and text

Git Repository Analysis

Detect suspicious commits using velocity anomalies, timing patterns, statistical markers, and structural analysis.

Website Content Detection

Analyze web pages for AI-generated text using pattern-based strategies for overused phrases, generic language, and formatting anomalies.

16 Detection Strategies

Combines multiple detection methods including size analysis, velocity metrics, precision patterns, commit messaging, and naming conventions.

Built for Performance

Written in Go (v1.24) for fast analysis of large repositories and high-volume web content scanning.

Webhook Server and API

Deploy as a webhook server with Fiber framework for continuous monitoring and automated CI/CD integration.
