The GPTZero Extension is the best solution for enhancing critical thinking and human writing, as recently featured in The New Yorker, New York Times, and Harvard Business Review.
The new Google Document experience is custom built for teachers, students, and researchers. It includes four new powerful features:
(1) Live AI detection checks instantly as you write
(2) Customizable feedback and writing comments in Google Docs
(3) Writing video replay and report, with a new typing pattern analysis
(4) Bibliography, citation, and a research-focused fact check
➤ What is our writing video replay?
GPTZero’s Writing Replay brings your Google Docs writing process to life, showing exactly how a piece was written, edited, and pasted. Now supporting multiple editors, switch to see how different writers contributed to the final document.
➤ What makes the GPTZero Writing Report different?
Unlike other writing replay solutions like Draftback, Brisk Replay, Grammarly Authorship, or Turnitin Clarity, the GPTZero Writing Report includes:
• Multi-user detection: See how much each writer contributed by percentage.
• Instant replay: Fast-loading, high-resolution writing playback.
• Activity insight: Identify frequent edits, pastes, and writing bursts.
• Human vs. AI analysis: Built-in AI detection flags large pastes and unnatural text.
• Typing pattern insights: Our proprietary algorithm uncovers human typing behaviors.
• Security: Enterprise grade data security and privacy, SOC2, and FERPA compliance.
➤ How does GPTZero writing and typing analysis work?
GPTZero’s first-of-its-kind natural typing analysis constantly runs AI detection on large copy-pastes, and layers a proprietary algorithm trained on millions of documents that identifies human typing and natural editing patterns.
➤ What is GPTZero Bibliography and Source Check
Check writing for AI-hallucinated and inaccurate bibliographies, uncited claims, and plagiarism. Then receive suggestions to improve sources and citations.
➤ What is GPTZero Writing Feedback
Fully customize giving feedback by uploading a rubric and assignment details and specifying the focus. Feedback is live-drafted directly into Google Docs comments for convenience.
➤ How can teachers integrate GPTZero into a course?
Thousands of educators have added GPTZero directly into their syllabus as an assistant for students during their writing process.

- (2025-07-28) Ei Thazin: I was looking for a tool that can tell me what's AI and what's human written very reliably.. I'm a skeptic since a lot of the tools out there are not very accurate. I tried GPTZero on a whim and was actually impressed that it was able to detect writing that was AI more often than other detectors like Scribbr, Originality..etc couldn't get right. Trying out the writing features too that compares to other tools like grammarly and quillbot

- (2025-04-17) Brett Apple: I wish they would provide the ability to give 0 or negative stars. This extension is wholly unreliable. The Share button does not function most of the time and consistently fails due to unknown errors. Do not waste your time with this extension or GPTZero for that matter. Google its reliability as an AI checker.
- (2025-04-13) Anonymous A.: Was great, but no longer working for some reason. 1/5.
- (2025-01-08) Goat: Decent, google docs feature is good but sharing does not work, it says it generated a link, but no link appears, the link in the top search bar does not work as well, defeats my purpose of downloading
- (2024-11-09) Julian Elias: Update to the update below - Nov '24 Alex contacted me and refunded around $65. I've been using GPTZero Origin in Chrome pretty regularly for the past year. It's helpful. While it may not be 100% accurate every time, in my opinion it's reliable. I make sure my students know I use it to scan their essays, papers, etc, and I'd say that knowledge deters many of them from plagiarizing. I also tell my students they should use the free version of GPTZero to check their work before they submit it. All in all, I'm glad to have Origin at my disposal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update - November 2024 I upgraded to the Premium plan. It's supposed to cost $155.88. https://gptzero.me/pricing From their website, here are the prices: Essential = $99.96 annually Premium = $155.88 annually Professional = $299.88 annually Yesterday GPTZero took $192 out of my bank account - for the Premium plan, which costs $155.88. This doesn't make sense. None of the plans cost $192. I sent multiple emails asking for an explanation but have received only an auto response. Very frustrating and disappointing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have a subscription for which I paid $120 to GPTZero in November 2023. I don't really know which tools or features I'm able to access compared to non-subscribers. Sometimes Origin seems to work well, but other times it has stopped working after approximately ten minutes and given me this message: "You have exceeded 150 uses per hour." I don't think I ever "exceeded 150 uses per hour," especially not when I was using Origin for only 10-15 minutes at a time. In a nutshell, I like Origin - but I've had some frustrating experiences with it over the past six months.
- (2024-11-07) Anthony Guijarro: works okay for what it's intended for but is overall a broken extension. it breaks a lot of website code, especially for device theme related stuff which is horrible for accessibility. would recommend setting this to only access site data on click in your browser extension settings
- (2024-08-30) Jessica S. (darkocean): Doesn't work I wanted to see what it thought of my story but won't check it on royal road. Make it compatible with all websites, thank you much.
- (2024-08-14) Pierre Maroun: top
- (2024-08-01) Mark Kaplowitz: I have found Origin by GPTZero to be a very useful tool when assessing student work. I like that I can right-click on any type of student writing that I receive in my LMS and have an evaluation generated that breaks down how much each sentence contributes to the determination of AI vs. human contribution. I like that I can download a pdf of the evaluation. I like that the evaluation not only claims what percentage of a work is AI-generated, but also assigns a degree of confidence in that evaluation. And, frankly, GPTZero's evaluation of student writing aligns with my intuitive evaluation roughly 90% of the time, so it's nice to have GPTZero in my corner, even if it's only a probabilistic assessment that cannot explain how it reaches its determinations.
