Clearer
AI tools now write the first draft for many of my classmates. The question isn't whether to use them — it's how to keep our own argument visible underneath.

DraftGuard reads your essay sentence by sentence — flagging the generic openings, the over-polished phrasing, and the claims that quietly need a citation. Then it helps you rewrite each one in language you can defend in your own voice.

One sentence, three responsible rewrites
Original draft
In today's rapidly evolving world, the role of AI in education has become increasingly important.
High risk · Generic opening
“In today's rapidly evolving world…” is the single most common AI essay opener in 2026. It signals nothing specific about your argument.
Medium · Vague claim
“Increasingly important” is the kind of phrase that survives every spellchecker and convinces no reader. It earns no citation either.
Three responsible rewrites
02
More personal
In my second-year writing seminar, three out of nine students admitted to drafting with ChatGPT. [add your own example here] The teacher could not tell which essays were ours.
↳ Placeholder for a real personal detail — never invented
03
Academic natural
Generative writing tools have moved from novelty to default in undergraduate work. [citation needed] The pedagogical question is no longer whether to use them, but how to teach students to revise around them.
↳ Marks a claim that needs a real source — never fabricated
How it works
Three plain
editorial steps.
We treat your draft the way a sharp editor would: paragraph by paragraph, sentence by sentence, never replacing your voice with a machine's. The workspace is a margin, not a magic wand.

Paste your draft
Drop in an essay paragraph, application statement, or AI-generated chunk. We process the text, never store it for training.

Risk is an estimate, not a verdict.

Index of Issues
What gets flagged & why
01high
Generic phrasing
Openings and transitions that survived a hundred AI essays before yours. Replace with one specific image.
02high
Over-polished tone
Sentences too clean to have been written by a human under deadline. We surface them so you can break the rhythm.
03medium
Repetitive structure
Three paragraphs that all begin with a topic sentence and end on a hedged conclusion — a tell of templated drafting.
04medium
Missing personal detail
Reflective and application writing without a single concrete moment. We prompt you to add one — never invent it.
05medium
Vague claim
“Many experts believe…” without naming any. We don't fabricate the names — we mark the gap so you can.
06low
Citation needed
Factual statements that quietly require a source. We flag them and let you decide whether to support, soften, or remove.
A note from us
We don't bypass.
We help you write.
There is a whole class of products promising “undetectable AI” and “Turnitin bypass.” DraftGuard is not one of them. We will not help anyone evade an academic integrity system, fabricate a citation, or invent a personal experience to make a draft sound more credible.
What we will do is read your draft sentence by sentence, name the parts that sound generic, and help you rewrite them into language you can defend in conversation with your teacher, your reader, or yourself.
What we do
- Surface generic phrasing
- Suggest clearer alternatives
- Mark claims that need a citation
- Prompt you for a real personal detail
What we don't
- Promise to fool any detector
- Fabricate sources or quotes
- Invent personal experience
- Help with academic dishonesty
Pricing
Honest tiers,
student-priced.
The free tier is enough to triage a draft. The Pro plan is for writers who do this every week. There is no “guaranteed pass” tier — that product doesn't exist, and we won't pretend it does.

Reader's notes
What people ask first
01Does DraftGuard help me pass Turnitin?
Does DraftGuard help me pass Turnitin?
No. DraftGuard is not a detector-bypass tool. We don't claim to predict any specific detector, and we won't help with academic dishonesty. We help you improve clarity, voice, and citation readiness — work you can defend out loud.
02How is this different from a paraphraser?
How is this different from a paraphraser?
Paraphrasers swap words. DraftGuard reads the draft sentence by sentence, names what's risky and why, and offers rewrites in modes (Clearer / More Personal / Academic Natural / Simpler English) that preserve meaning while removing AI tells.
03Will it invent personal experiences or fake citations?
Will it invent personal experiences or fake citations?
No. The system is instructed never to fabricate sources, quotes, statistics, or personal anecdotes. When a sentence needs evidence we mark it [citation needed]. When it needs a real personal detail we leave a placeholder for you to fill.
04Do you store my essay?
Do you store my essay?
We process your text to generate results and don't use your drafts to train models. Anonymous usage logs are kept; full essay text is not retained server-side beyond the request lifecycle.
05What languages are supported?
What languages are supported?
DraftGuard currently works best for English drafts. Detection on other languages is unreliable and we will tell you when we're not confident.
06Is the score a guarantee?
Is the score a guarantee?
No. The Low / Medium / High reading is an estimate of writing risk based on phrasing, structure, and citation patterns. No detector — including ours — can guarantee a result.
