# TheChecker.AI

> AI content detection platform that identifies AI-generated text from 40+ models (Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and more) with 93% accuracy. Built for educators, content creators, and academic institutions.

TheChecker.AI is a SaaS platform by Girema Holdings Limited that helps users detect whether text was written by an AI model. It analyzes writing patterns and identifies both the likelihood of AI generation and the specific model that produced the content.

## Key Facts

- Detects content from 40+ AI models including OpenAI GPT-4/GPT-5, Anthropic Claude 3/3.5, Google Gemini Ultra, Meta Llama, and Mistral
- 93% detection accuracy with real-time analysis
- Trusted by 10,000+ educators and 500+ educational institutions
- Free demo available with no sign-up required
- Pro plan: $9.90/month or $99/year for unlimited detections plus a monthly humanizer word allowance
- Content is analyzed in real-time and not permanently stored
- English language optimized
- Also available as a remote MCP server, so AI agents (e.g. Claude) can call detection and humanizing directly as tools
