Your students are using AI. Here's how to keep the writing theirs.
When a student has to check their own work, they have to read it - and the moment they're reading and rewriting, they're writing again, not just submitting.
Use AI & Stay Human.
You can't uninvent AI. But you can keep writing human.
Most students aren't cheating. They're using AI the way they use spell-check - to get started and fill in gaps. The problem is the writing stops being theirs and teachers sense it.
- Students lean on AI for structure and phrasing - often without meaning to cross a line.
- AI detectors are inconsistent and flag innocent work, creating disputes nobody wants.
- Literacy gaps hide behind AI-polished paragraphs that look fine on the surface.
- Teachers are spending time questioning work instead of giving feedback.
- AI AutoClean is not a detector - it's a guide. It shows students where their writing has drifted into AI territory so they can fix it themselves.
- No text is rewritten automatically. The student reads the highlights and does the work.
- Genuinely human writing has to come from a human. That's the whole point.
It shows students where to look.
They do the writing.
AI AutoClean is a Microsoft Word add-in. It doesn't rewrite, generate or suggest anything. It highlights - and then the student fixes it in their own words. One click runs the full check. Everything it finds is marked up in the document. The student reads it, understands why it's flagged, and rewrites it themselves.
- Flags overlong, complex sentences that read like AI rather than a student's natural voice.
- Identifies repeated words and phrases - the kind AI recycles without noticing.
- Spots formulaic sentence openers and structural patterns typical of generated text.
- Checks for overused AI vocabulary - words that appear constantly in AI output but rarely in natural writing.
- Works entirely inside Microsoft Word, where your students already write.
- Helps reduce false positives from AI-detection tools used by exam boards and institutions.
- AI AutoClean doesn't write for you - it guides you to write better yourself.
- Nothing leaves the device. No student work is sent to any AI model or external server.
- 100% GDPR compliant and ready for your data protection and safeguarding review.
- Available permanently from the Word ribbon - no browser, no login, no friction.
The punctuation fix that saves real staff hours
AI writing leaves behind specific punctuation habits that almost never appear naturally but show up constantly in AI output. AI AutoClean finds and cleans them instantly - no teacher time, no manual read-through for punctuation alone.
Multiply that across a department checking hundreds of essays a term, and it's hours of staff time given back for less than the cost of one supply-cover day.
Everything else - the actual substance of AI-influenced writing - it flags for the student to fix themselves. The rewrite always has to come from them.
Why rewriting AI‑influenced text doesn't fix it
When students use AI tools to rewrite AI‑influenced text, it doesn’t solve the problem — it restarts it. Each rewrite adds new AI‑style phrasing, new mechanical patterns and new punctuation habits that can still trigger detection tools and still make the work sound less like the student.
AI AutoClean breaks the loop by highlighting these patterns directly inside Word so students can adjust them in their own voice. No rewriting, no new AI fingerprints, just clearer, more authentic student writing.
Less investigation. More teaching.
The goal isn't to catch students out. It's to give teachers confidence that the work in front of them is actually the student's - and to give students a reason to keep writing for themselves.
- Keeps students engaged with their own writing rather than polishing AI output.
- Cuts down on time spent questioning work and chasing authenticity.
- Supports digital literacy and academic integrity without banning anything.
- One flat annual cost - no seat counting, no per-user admin, no surprises.
- No automatic renewal. You decide each year.
- Aligns with safeguarding and data-protection strategies in a practical, auditable way.
One saved integrity case pays for this ten times over.

FAQs
Still weighing it up?
Why forcing students to rewrite AI-flagged sentences matters more than any detector score
We dug into the research on formative feedback and self-correction, and why forcing the rewrite to come from the student, not a tool, is what actually makes it theirs.
