TechCrunch’s June 2024 profile of GPTZero lists CatchGPT as a competitor in the AI-generated-content detection space. It also names AI Writing Check, Copyleaks, GPT Radar, and Originality.ai.
CatchGPT co-founders Nicholas Guerrero and Alvin Lu seek $500,000 in seed funding for an AI text detection platform, according to their 2023 Reddit post. They report 83% accuracy against GPT-4 and say beta classroom trials are planned for late 2023.
CatchGPT shifts from a Chrome extension for detecting AI-written text and images to an AI-resistant quiz generator for educators. Launched in 2023, the extension’s new positioning centers on generating assessments from instructor-provided materials.
TechCrunch’s February 2023 review tests CatchGPT alongside OpenAI’s classifier, GPTZero, and Copyleaks as early tools for identifying AI-written text. It finds that most detectors perform poorly, reflecting early skepticism about whether such tools can reliably identify AI-generated writing in educational settings.
