We are happy to announce our partnership with Pangram Labs to advance our mission to make college admissions ethical.

Pangram Labs builds AI detection technology that actually works. While early AI detection methods were flawed and statistical approximations, Pangram Labs has taken a different approach by building a state-of-the-art AI model to detect other AI models. Pangram Labs has been independently verified by multiple universities as the most accurate AI detector and the only one that outperforms trained human experts. Their technology is already trusted by platforms like Quora, journalists, and technology companies.

After months of testing, we are confident Pangram Labs can detect AI in college admission essays. More importantly, we also found that students prefer to stay ethical and not have their essays sound like an AI when making a life-changing decision.

Why Pangram Labs?

• 99.8% accurate detection for the latest AI models including GPT-5 [Source]
• 0.004% false positive rate for academic essays—approximately 1 in 10,000 [Source]
• Zero bias against English as Second Language (ESL) students—even lower false positive rates on ESL datasets [Source]
• University of Maryland studies found Pangram "nearly perfect" - achieving 99.3% detection with zero false positives, substantially outperforming all other detectors especially against paraphrasing [Source] [Source]
• University of Pennsylvania & Qatar Research called performance "extremely strong" - 99.3% accuracy normally, 97.7% even under adversarial attacks, best commercial service tested [Source]
• Multi-university study confirmed Pangram most robust - Testing 9 detectors, only Pangram maintained 97% accuracy before and 94% after translation attacks with ≤1% false positives, while competitors showed up to 24% false positive rates [Source]

What This Means for Students & Parents

GradPilot uses Pangram Labs to ensure that our AI stays ethical:

For Brainstorming

We help students discover what they are trying to say in their own words

For Feedback

Every suggestion we provide is verified to maintain the student's authentic voice

Accountability Built In

Pangram Labs is independently accessible to students, parents, and educators. You can verify our results yourself.

Together with Pangram Labs, we're building a future where students can use AI as a tool to put their best selves forward and be confident that they own their ideas.
