24 alternatives to Isitslop.xyz, a free AI-writing detector built on latest research

I have a weird habit of guessing whether something's AI before I check, especially on LinkedIn and Reddit (for obvious reasons). The detectors I used to confirm were mostly junk and built to sell you a "humanizer" upsell, so I went and read the actual research on what gives AI text away in 2026, then built my own (no login and free) The main sources I used are these: https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.07016 https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.07183 https://aclanthology.org/2025.coling-main.426/ https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.16107…

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    I recently created a simple but efficient tool to help document writers generate a list of acronyms and definitions. Here comes chatGPT. At home, it’s all fun and games until I realize this thing might be able to do exactly what my “dumb” website does: "Give me the list of acronyms used in the previous text and their definitions"... It had a good-looking answer. Of course... At first I was bummed, but quickly realized that even though the output looked neat, it was also not reliable (missing some acronyms, adding some that were not in the original text, albeit related to it). Anyway, the…

    Hey HN! I've always found it hard to keep up with the latest AI research, so I built Arxiv Feed! https://arxiv-feed.vercel.app/ It's basically a feed of AI research papers + a one-liner explaining what problem its solving, etc. You can also click on any paper to get a TL;DR. Right now, I've only indexed a few hundred large language model papers, but will expand to indexing AI papers in other topics. Thinking of also adding a way for people to up-vote/down-vote papers. Would love to hear any thoughts/feedback! :D Thanks!

    Hey all! I've been increasingly concerned about low-quality AI generated content polluting the internet. Other AI detectors don't seem to work well in my experience, so I started checkfor.ai with a couple friends. Please give it a shot on any real text and AI-generated examples and let me know how well it works for you. Thanks for trying, I'm open any and all feedback!

    I spent 9 months in abdominal pains. 7 endoscopies. Turned out the problem wasn’t even in my gut. That mess is why I built Healz.ai - AI + real doctors-investigator who build complete picture and look for root causes. I’m not here to pitch. I just want to know if it’s real or crap and are there people like me sometime ago. Please burn me as much as possible. Just want to make no bullshit service. No marketing. No “AI doctor”, NO "text-to-porn generator" hype. Just trying to make something that could save people the months I lost.

    I can't say "I created a tool" because obviously I only had an idea, then asked Cursor to implement it and 15 minutes later it was ready ;) Often I found I was manually replacing em dashes with hyphens in AI-generated text before I use them in copy, PR descriptions etc. It still feels like a shame to flare the text "you wrote" was not really human made. To automate these removals, here it is: super tiny online page. I made it for myself, but whoever wants, you can use it as well. I am not going to monetize it or promote more than this post.

    Other detectors don't do a great job with German text, because they are not optimized for the German language. So here you go! Also: Other detectors claim to be 100 % certain that content is written by AI. Which is BS. That's why I use the term "AI-Resemblance" as a score. You can never be absolutely sure if any text is written by AI or a human. It's free and unlimited - so knock yourself out with it. Feedback very welcome!

    Hey HN! I love those moments when LLMs are just working right away, but I'm also quite frustrated when they can't complete a single simple task. In those moments I'm always wondering "Is it just me or...?" So I've built AI Daily Check. Made the frontend with Node.js under Cloudflare Pages (with Functions for SSR). Took the opportunity to learn how to make a lightweight SSR engine (Claude Code was incredibly helpful for this!). The backend in on Cloudflare Workers. The challenge is getting votes, so I've started to scrape Reddit, running a small sentiment analysis on the posts and storing…

    For at least a few years (since before COVID), in my circle everbody wants an AI tool that finds vulnerabilities in binaries. I have my reservations about such a tool because of my perception that AI is overhyped, so I decided to build one myself to see how useful it could be (or not). I was actually kinda surprised how well it worked for my collection of binaries with known CVEs. It definitely has false positives and negatives, as any static analysis tool would, but I think its actually somewhat usable. I dont think the results are super actionable, but interesting nonetheless. I still…

    Hey HN, this is deepan from trulytyped (https://trulytyped.com). I am building a document writing app which makes it extremely easy to figure out how a document was created. Now that any text can be AI generated, how do you tell if something was actually generated or composed. It is impossible to detect AI after a piece of text has been generated. No amount of watermarking, linguistic checks or vibe checks work consistently. The AI detectors that schools and journals use are easy to bypass. Why do we need to solve this problem - First of all, this is not an anti-AI stance. I have…

    Hello there! I hope you're doing well today! I wanted to share something with you. Recently I was on the hunt for the best way to journal daily. Well, I had this idea - what if I could feed all my daily entries to an AI (ChatGPT), and create a friendly, supportive character like Socrates or Simon Sinek? This way, I could ask any questions about my life and mental health, and get some amazing advice on how to improve myself! The results have been absolutely mind-blowing ! I even made a short GIF to show you how it works - check it out! - https://gifyu.com/image/SdHLH I've…

    Hey HN, A bit of backstory: I was job hunting for months, applying everywhere and racking up a ton of rejections. It got frustrating, so I decided to flip the script and build something useful instead: an open-source take on Cluely, that popular stealth AI tool from the $15M company. I figured why not recreate something that's already out there and buzzing, but make it free, transparent, and way better for privacy. Plus, it felt like a fun challenge. This is actually my first project ever using Tauri, and I'm hooked. I started out trying Electron, but it just wasn't cutting it for something…
