For educators
A writing tool that teaches the craft, not a shortcut machine.
Copyeditor’s default is discipline: outline, produce, rewrite, with the student approving each step. AI help is optional and visible, the originality preview makes attribution teachable, and the writing process is documented — so you can govern how AI is used per assignment instead of fighting it.
Beta opens this season — starting with students and researchers.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Built to keep the student in the author’s seat
Help on each step, not a finished answer in one click.
Structure over shortcuts
The workflow is outline → produce → rewrite. Students do the thinking in the right order, with help on each part — not a button that hands back a finished essay.
A record of the process
The Authorship Certificate documents how a piece was written over time. It’s evidence of process you can ask students to share — not a claim that any submission is clean.
Originality awareness
Students see how their draft reads to AI detectors before they submit — so the conversation moves from “gotcha” to “here’s how to attribute properly.”
Governable AI
AI assistance is optional and visible. The tools that help with register and structure can be dialed to fit your assignment’s rules rather than working around them.
AI GOVERNANCE
Set the rules per assignment
Set the level of help per assignment
Some tasks want full structural support; others want grammar only and nothing more. The point is that the policy is explicit, not hidden — students know what’s allowed, and so do you.
Teach attribution, not avoidance
The originality preview shows where a paraphrase drifted or a citation is missing, in time to fix it. That turns integrity into a teachable step, not a post-submission penalty.
Ask for the process, not just the product
Because the certificate records the writing over time, you can ask to see how a piece developed. It documents process; it does not, and should not, stand in for your judgement.
An honest claim
The certificate documents process. It does not pass judgement.
The Authorship Certificate is a signed, timestamped record of how a document was written. It’s useful context — but it cannot prove a submission is free of concern, and it should never replace an educator’s assessment. We’d rather be clear about that than oversell it.
Questions educators ask
Does this just help students cheat faster?
No. The default workflow keeps the student in the author’s seat — outline, produce, rewrite, approve each step — and AI assistance is optional and visible. It’s designed to teach structure and attribution, not to hand back finished essays.
Can the Authorship Certificate prove a student didn’t cheat?
No, and we’re explicit about that. It documents how a document was written over time. It’s supporting evidence of process — useful context for a conversation — not a verdict, and never a substitute for an educator’s judgement.
Can I require certain tools be off for an assignment?
AI assistance is optional and configurable, so assignments can set the level of help that’s appropriate. The aim is governance you can state plainly to a class.
Is there an institutional option?
A B2B option for schools and departments is on the roadmap — domain-wide access with verification. Get in touch through the contact page to be kept in the loop.
