AI text checker: stock phrases and officialese

Why “AI text” gets spotted in the first paragraph

Language models write correctly, but they all write alike. They love generic phrases (“in today’s world”, “plays a key role”, “a team of professionals”), filler words (“it is worth noting”, “moreover”), the “not just X, but Y” contrast and sentences of almost the same length. Readers may not be able to say why, but they sense it: the text covers everything and says nothing.

For a business, this is a matter of trust and sales rather than style. A service page that sounds like any other does not answer the client’s main question: why you? Google also assesses how useful a text is to people, and formulaic text without facts loses to specific text.

What the tool checks

• Stock phrases: more than 180 patterns in Ukrainian, Russian and English, from “individual approach” to “unlock the full potential”.
• The “not just X, but Y” formula, a favourite construction of chatbots.
• Officialese and calques: “constitutes” instead of “is”, “over the course of” instead of “during”, “carries out the sale of” instead of “sells”, with a hint on how to say it more simply.
• Filler words such as “thus” and “it is worth noting”, which you can simply delete.
• Rhythm: whether the sentences are all the same length or start with the same word.
• Traces of copying from a chat: emoji bullets, Markdown asterisks and hashes.

The result is an AI style score from 0 to 100, a list of findings and your text with colour highlighting. Hover over a highlighted word to see a hint.

This is not an authorship detector

No tool can prove that a text was written by AI: people use clichés too, and an edited generated text may have none. So instead of promising an “AI percentage”, we show the specific places that sound formulaic. Rewrite them, and the text gets better, whoever wrote it.

How to rewrite a text after the check

1. Replace generic words with facts: instead of “an experienced team”, write “three craftsmen with more than 10 years each”.
2. Remove filler words at the start of sentences; the meaning will not change.
3. Mix short and long sentences: one short sentence after two long ones livens up the rhythm.
4. Answer the client’s questions: price, timeframes, what is included, how you differ from others.
