Can you guarantee my assignment will show 0% AI?
No, and neither can anyone else honestly. Detectors are probabilistic, they update without notice, and two tools will give the same paragraph opposite verdicts. What we guarantee is that a qualified academic rewrites the machine-shaped passages into precise, evidenced reasoning in your own voice, and that you receive a written record of every change. Any service selling you a specific number is selling an outcome it does not control.
Is using an AI removal service allowed by German universities?
Language and structural editing are ordinary academic support, and most faculties expect students to use them — particularly non-native writers. What varies is the declaration rule: some Prüfungsordnungen require you to state that a proofreader or AI tool was involved. Check your module handbook and Prüfungsordnung, and where a declaration is required, make it. The support is not the problem; undisclosed support can be.
Why was my Hausarbeit flagged when I wrote every word myself?
Because detectors measure predictability, not honesty. Writing in a second language tends to produce safer, more uniform sentence structures, repeated connectors and textbook vocabulary — statistically the same fingerprint a model produces. Heavy machine translation does the same thing. If your work is genuinely your own, the priority is evidence of your process, and a rewrite is the secondary step.
I never used AI but the checker says 80% — can I prove I wrote it?
Usually yes, and the proof is process rather than argument. Word and Google Docs both keep version history showing the document being built over hours or days; a generated file appears in one paste. Your notes, your annotated PDFs, your search history in the library catalogue and your file timestamps all point the same way. Gather those before you change anything, because editing the file now overwrites the very history that would clear you. Then the rewrite becomes optional rather than urgent.
What actually happens if my university decides I used AI?
It varies by institution and by how serious the case looks. The mildest and most common outcome is a conversation with your lecturer and a resubmission. Beyond that, a module can be graded 5.0, and a formal Täuschungsversuch process can follow in serious or repeated cases, with consequences set out in your Prüfungsordnung. What moves you towards the mild end is engaging early, keeping your drafts and being able to explain your own work — not silently resubmitting a rewritten file, which reads as an admission.
What is the difference between this and a humaniser tool?
A humaniser shuffles vocabulary until the statistics change, with no understanding of your subject. It swaps precise technical terms for common synonyms, turns hedged claims into absolute ones, and treats a German Fußnote as broken text. A human editor from your discipline changes what actually reads as generated while protecting the terminology, the hedging and the citation system that your marks depend on.
Will my argument or findings be changed?
No. Your argument, sources, findings and position stay exactly as they were — we rewrite how they are expressed, not what they say. If a passage is unclear because the underlying idea is unresolved, we flag it and ask you rather than inventing a resolution you would then have to defend in a viva.
Do I have to send the whole document?
Send the whole thing, but the quote need not cover all of it. If you have a detector report showing which sections were flagged, the rewrite can be scoped to those passages plus a consistency pass across the rest. An editor still reads the full document, because a flag in chapter two usually means the same pattern exists in chapter four.
My professor has accused me of using AI. What should I do first?
Do not delete your drafts and do not quietly resubmit a rewritten file — both look far worse than the original flag. Gather version history from Word or Google Docs, your notes, your reading list and file timestamps. Most German faculties treat a detector alert as grounds for a conversation, and you will usually be invited to explain your process. Tell us when you upload and we document what changed and why.
Is my unpublished research safe with you?
Your document moves through encrypted transfer with controlled editorial access, is never stored for reuse, never resold and never uploaded to any public database or third-party tool. This matters more here than in ordinary editing, because free online humanisers process your text on servers you know nothing about and frequently retain it.
How long does AI removal take?
Standard turnaround is three to five days, with 48-hour priority and 24-hour urgent handling available at the rates above. Length and technical density both matter — a 3,000-word Hausarbeit moves faster than a 60,000-word doctoral manuscript where terminology has to stay consistent throughout. You receive a confirmed turnaround with your fixed quote, before any work begins.
Can you remove AI from a thesis or dissertation?
Yes, and long documents are handled by a single editor throughout so terminology does not drift between chapters. This is also where the risk of a careless rewrite is highest: a paraphraser applied across sixty pages will leave you with the same concept named three different ways, which is exactly what an examiner notices.
What happens to fake citations the AI invented?
Every reference is checked for existence. Generated citations look perfect — real author, real journal, plausible volume and pages — and were simply never written. Anything that cannot be located is flagged to you rather than quietly deleted, because you need to know which claims in your text no longer have support behind them.
Should I run my own work through an AI detector before submitting?
It is worth knowing your number, but do not let it drive you into a panic rewrite. Free checkers are the least reliable of the lot and will happily return 70% on a paragraph you wrote by hand, which then pushes students into a humaniser and into a genuinely worse position. Treat a high score as a prompt to look at your own writing — is every claim specific, does the rhythm vary, are the sources named — rather than as a verdict you have to erase.
Is it wrong to use AI for my assignment at all?
Not automatically, and this is where most of the fear comes from. Using a model to explain a concept, translate a German source or suggest search terms sits alongside using a dictionary or a study group, and few Prüfungsordnungen prohibit that. Generating paragraphs and submitting them as your own analysis is a different act, and that is the line most institutions actually draw. Your own regulations are the binding answer — and where a declaration form exists, filling it in is not optional.
Will the rewrite lower my similarity score too?
Sometimes, where clumsy paraphrasing sat too close to an original wording and gets properly reworked. But similarity and AI detection are different measurements, and a rewrite cannot remove genuine uncited borrowing. If content came from a source without attribution, the fix is a citation — and we will tell you so rather than disguising it.
Do you offer this for German-language work as well as English?
Yes. German-language Hausarbeiten, Seminararbeiten and Abschlussarbeiten are handled by native German academic editors, including correct treatment of Deutsche Zitierweise, DIN 1505 and juristische Zitierweise — the citation systems that automated tools mangle most reliably.
Can I see what you changed?
Yes, that is the point of the Track Changes version. Every edit is visible, with margin comments where a change needed explaining, so you can accept what you agree with and reject what you do not. It also means you can see for yourself that your argument was not replaced, and show that record to a supervisor if you are ever asked.
Is it cheaper to just use a free humaniser?
It is cheaper on the day and frequently more expensive afterwards. The common outcomes are terminology errors that cost marks in a technical subject, hedged claims turned into assertions you cannot defend, a mangled reference list, and — where your Prüfungsordnung restricts AI — a paraphraser run that may itself require declaring. If money is the constraint, tell us your budget and we will scope the work to the passages that actually matter.
What if you read it and think nothing needs rewriting?
Then we say so and you pay for the review rather than a full rewrite. It happens, particularly when a student has been flagged on writing that is entirely their own. In that situation the useful deliverable is not a rewritten file — it is a documented second opinion on why the text reads the way it does, which is what you can take to your faculty.
