About AI Detector by Ceptile: a checker you can audit.

AI Detector by Ceptile is a free, transparent multi-modal AI detector and AI checker created by Ceptile(ceptile.com) and engineered to run entirely inside your browser. We publish the complete mathematical formulas, benchmark evaluation curves, and inherent failure modes — because any instrument that labels someone’s work owes them the exact arithmetic behind that verdict.

The Origin Story

Every existing detector asked the world to trust a black-box number.

We created AI Detector by Ceptile after closely auditing the dominant commercial tools across the AI detection market: ZeroGPT with its proprietary DeepAnalyse™ branding and restrictive character paywalls; QuillBot with its subscription-gated highlights; GPTZero with its enterprise server pipeline; Originality.ai with its closed-source classifier and credit tokens; and Copyleaks with its enterprise writing-replay cloud. While technically impressive, all of them share a fatal architectural compromise:you paste proprietary writing or upload confidential media to someone else's remote server and receive a percentage score you cannot independently verify.

In practice, this cloud-dependent model incurs three severe penalties:

  • Privacy and Confidentiality Destruction: Student essays, unpublished book manuscripts, attorney-client privileged briefs, and proprietary code are transmitted across external networks and stored in third-party database logs, exposing organizations to data breach and regulatory compliance liabilities.
  • Zero Accountability and Unchallengeable Accusations: A bare percentage score (e.g., “94% AI”) cannot be cross-examined in an academic hearing or editorial dispute. When a false accusation occurs, the student or author has no mathematical evidence to defend themselves.
  • Scientific Obfuscation: Marketing claims boasting “99% accuracy” consistently collapse when subjected to independent, cross-genre academic benchmarks or applied to non-native English speakers.

We engineered the complete antithesis: an open-box statistical instrument with zero server-side inference and zero data uploads. Our client-side engine computes 46 published linguistic signals alongside forensic image, video, and audio discriminators. Every score includes an honest prior assumption (“assume human authorship until empirical evidence proves otherwise”) and a bootstrapped 90% confidence interval. If an analysis result seems erroneous, you can inspect the exact signal row responsible in your browser’s developer tools.

A note on scientific honesty: Our prototype calibration yielded a 0.989 AUC when tested against hand-crafted synthetic prompts. However, when evaluated against real-world LLM outputs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral), accuracy plummeted below chance. Rather than masking this failure, we discarded the synthetic samples and refitted all weights across a rigorous benchmark of 1,153 authentic human texts and 1,590 model generations. Accuracy initially dropped to an honest 0.909, which we subsequently elevated to 0.966 through multi-dimensional vocabulary diversity (MATTR) and cross-validated logistic regression. We publish our real-world limitations openly rather than hiding behind unscientific marketing claims.

Multi-Modal Forensics

How our four detection pipelines work under the hood

AI Detector by Ceptile provides specialized, auditable client-side forensics across all four major digital media formats:

1. Text Analysis Pipeline (46 Signals)

Executes 46 closed-form natural language metrics inside the browser's JavaScript engine: Zipf law word rank distributions, Moving-Average Type-Token Ratio (MATTR), sentence length burstiness, n-gram repetition entropy, and token-transition cadence. Includes built-in ESL-safe weighting to prevent false positives on non-native English speakers.

2. Image Forensics Pipeline

Decodes image files into in-memory canvas buffers. Evaluates Error Level Analysis (ELA) compression differentials, Bayer Color Filter Array (CFA) demosaicing residuals, high-frequency discrete cosine transform (DCT) noise grids, and parses C2PA Content Credentials and EXIF metadata without uploading file bytes.

3. Video Forensics Pipeline

Extracts video frames using HTML5 video decoders to evaluate temporal optical flow continuity. Measures inter-frame shot noise variance, cadence consistency, and temporal blurring artifacts characteristic of modern diffusion video generators (including OpenAI Sora, Google Veo, and Kling AI).

4. Audio Forensics Pipeline

Utilizes the browser's Web Audio API (AudioContext) to compute fast Fourier transforms (FFT). Scans audio waveforms for unnatural high-frequency cutoffs, spectral centroid dynamics, neural vocoder phase coupling (Bark, ElevenLabs), and synthetic silence markers common to AI voice cloning and generated music (Suno, Udio).

Core Principles

Our foundational commitments

Auditable & Open Mathematics

If software accuses someone of AI plagiarism, it must provide the exact proof. A percentage score without derivation is arbitrary conjecture. We publish every mathematical formula, weight coefficient, and fusion calculation so that anyone can replicate our conclusions.

Zero-Upload Architectural Privacy

Your intellectual property belongs exclusively to you. We never upload your text or media to cloud servers. There is no premium tier to purchase privacy — privacy is guaranteed to all users by physical architectural design.

Empirical Truth over Marketing

We openly reject dishonest “99% accuracy” marketing banners. We publish our complete receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, per-genre false-positive rates, and failure modes. Our engine is versioned (2026.2) and fully deterministic: identical input produces identical output every time.

Heuristics Outlast Black-Box Models

Neural classifiers trained on specific LLMs rapidly degrade when newer foundation models launch. Mathematical heuristics that capture fundamental properties of token decoding and image synthesis provide durable, long-term diagnostic utility.

Competitor descriptions reflect publicly available features and marketing claims at the time of writing. We claim no affiliation with or endorsement by ZeroGPT, QuillBot, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Turnitin, or Copyleaks.

Five ethical lines we will never cross

Principles we uphold regardless of commercial temptation:

  • Never deploy an unexplainable black box. The instant we hide our mathematical weights behind a closed neural network, we destroy our core mission of transparent accountability.
  • Never transmit your text, images, video, or audio. The detector operates client-side. There are no backend API calls post-load. We cannot leak or surrender data we never receive.
  • Never fabricate 99% accuracy claims. We publish an honest ~90% accuracy rate on clear-cut samples and document our exact failure boundaries.
  • Never endorse automated punitive decisions. An AI detection score is statistical evidence, never absolute proof. It must never serve as the sole justification for penalizing a student, employee, or applicant.
  • Never build "humanizer" bypass utilities. Developing tools to circumvent detection undermines academic integrity and compromises digital authenticity.
