CoGrader's AI Detection feature (available on School/District subscriptions) helps identify potential AI-generated content. While no tool can guarantee 100% accuracy in AI detection, CoGrader helps teachers by flagging possible academic dishonesty to inform follow-up conversations with students and uphold the school’s policy.

CoGrader's grade suggestions offer strong reliability, lower than the usual variance between human graders. While the AI system uses advanced algorithms and extensive testing to ensure consistent grading, it's designed to assist rather than replace teacher judgment.

Educators maintain control by reviewing and adjusting both grades and feedback before finalizing them, combining AI efficiency with human expertise.
