Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Byakugan Tools (4)

detect_ai_text

Score how likely a passage reads as AI-written, fully on-device, with a per-signal breakdown and a confidence band. Returns a 0 to 100 likelihood, never a yes/no verdict. The signal is directional and biased against non-native English writers, so treat it as a second opinion and not proof. Get a read here, then call find_ai_tells to locate the spans worth rewriting.

find_ai_tells

Locate the exact character spans that read as AI, covering stock phrasing, long dashes, and formulaic sentence openers. Returns a list of spans with start, end, the matched text, and a note. Use these to rephrase only the flagged parts and leave the rest of the writing intact. Deterministic.

check_reuse

Compare the text against reference documents you provide, using word shingles, and return the share of overlap and the verbatim shared passages. This is a local check against the documents passed in. It does not search the web or any plagiarism database. Deterministic.

check_grammar

Run a rule-based grammar and style check over the text, fully on-device, and return each issue with its character span, a message, the flagged text, and suggested fixes. Use it to tidy grammar and phrasing, before or after rewriting the flagged AI tells. Deterministic.
