Your professor suspects AI.
Prove they're wrong.
Glass Box records your writing process locally — every edit, every paste, every AI interaction — then exports a PDF that shows exactly how your paper was written. No cloud, no surveillance, no subscription.
How it works
Four steps. No account required. Everything stays on your machine.
Open Glass Box
Download the app or use the web demo. Start writing. Your process is recorded locally from the first keystroke.
Write normally
Paste research, use AI to rephrase a sentence, accept ghost completions. Every action is logged and colour-coded.
Export your PDF
Click Export PDF. Your document appears with annotation highlights and a full AI usage appendix — ready to submit.
Let the evidence speak
Your professor sees what was AI-assisted and what was yours. A verifiable record of effort, not a probability score.
What your PDF looks like
Every exported document includes an AI Usage Appendix showing exactly which passages were human-written, AI-assisted, or pasted from external sources.
The assessment blackout in education has created a situation where teachers cannot verify and students cannot prove. The writing process — once observable through drafts and office hours — has collapsed into a single submission event. A market emerged selling guesswork disguised as integrity software.
Research at NeurIPS 2023 shows AI detectors consistently misclassify non-native English writers at significantly higher rates. This is not an acceptable solution.

Used in the classroom
Educators who have tested Glass Box with their students.
"Glass Box gave my students something detectors never could a receipt."
Privacy by design
Glass Box never sends your writing to a server. Everything is logged on your machine. The exported PDF is yours — you decide what to share and with whom. Integrity tools should not create new surveillance problems.
