Understanding Interpreting AI Detection Results
Grammarly's AI Detection provides a percentage of text flagged as potentially AI-generated, offering guidance on responsible interpretation.
The percentage result is an estimate, and AI detection can be prone to errors. The score is a data point to help users in deciding how they may want to edit and attribute sources properly. It should not be used as an objective source of truth.

Pro Users Using the AI Detector Agent in Docs
Grammarly Pro and Premium users can access the AI Detection agent in docs.
Initiate the agent via the AI Detector icon in the side panel.
The agent displays the likelihood of text being AI-generated.
If you use generative AI, generate citations and mark additions within your text.
Note: if you use other Grammarly agents to rewrite content, it is likely that the AI Detection agent will flag the content as AI-generated as these agents use LLMs.
FAQs Frequently Asked Questions
What does the % score mean? The score represents the estimated percentage of AI-generated text. Grammarly's model, trained on extensive datasets, checks for AI patterns and returns a percentage.
How accurate is the score? The score is an averaged estimate, not a definitive assessment. It is important to view it in context and not as an objective measure.
Why am I flagged even if I didn't use AI? The model prioritizes minimizing false positives. There may be instances where human-generated text resembles AI output.
Will the score be the same as other detectors? Scores may differ due to proprietary models. However, the model is trained similarly to other leading detectors and should be directionally aligned.
How does Grammarly differentiate between different content types? The model is trained to distinguish between human-written text, content modified by generative AI, and text edited by other agents.
