Our Methodology

Transparent signals, not a black-box verdict.

BareGPT analyzes common patterns in templated or overly uniform writing and highlights specific signals that influence your coaching score. Our goal is to help writers revise and improve—not to make definitive authorship claims.

Our Approach

We believe in transparent, explainable analysis that empowers writers to understand and improve their work. Unlike black-box AI detectors, we show you exactly which patterns triggered each signal, so you can make informed revisions that strengthen your authentic voice.

Signal categories

We analyze multiple interpretable signals including repetition patterns, transition usage, sentence structure variety, and language flow. Each signal is transparently weighted to form the overall AI detection score, giving you clear insight into what influences the assessment.

What the score means

The AI detection score (0-100) reflects how uniform or templated your writing appears, not definitive proof of AI authorship. Think of it as a diagnostic tool: higher scores suggest areas to revise for more natural, varied expression. It's guidance for improvement, not a verdict.

Best input length

For reliable analysis, we recommend submitting at least 80-150 words. Longer samples (200+ words) provide more stable and accurate results as patterns become clearer. Very short texts may produce less consistent scores due to limited context.

Limitations

Writing signal detection is probabilistic, not absolute. Well-edited human writing can appear uniform, and writing styles vary dramatically across individuals, domains, and contexts. Always combine automated analysis with human judgment and consider the broader context.

How our analysis works

1

Text submission

You submit your draft through our web app or Chrome extension. We analyze the text locally and securely.

2

Signal extraction

We identify patterns like repetitive phrasing, predictable transitions, sentence uniformity, and other linguistic markers that may indicate AI-generated content.

3

Scoring & feedback

We generate an AI detection score (0-100) and highlight specific sentences that need revision. Higher scores suggest more uniform, templated patterns.

4

Coaching recommendations

Standard and Premium users receive detailed tone, voice, and clarity coaching to help strengthen their authentic writing style.

Data handling and privacy

We process your text to generate analysis scores and feedback reports. Your content is transmitted securely over HTTPS/TLS encryption and stored with industry-standard security measures.

We do not use your content to train AI models without explicit consent. Your writing remains your intellectual property. For complete details on data retention, access controls, and your rights, please review our privacy policy.

Important: Use as guidance, not proof

AI detection technology is evolving and imperfect. False positives and false negatives occur. Our tool is designed as a coaching aid to help improve writing quality—not as evidence for academic integrity cases or employment decisions. Always apply human judgment and consider context.
