How Baloney Works
We check your content multiple ways. If one method misses something, another catches it.
What We Check
Text
Highlight any text on a page. We check if it reads like AI wrote it.
Images
Right-click any image. We scan for AI fingerprints, watermarks, and forensic traces.
Video
Flag any video. We analyze it frame by frame for signs of AI generation.

Independent detection methods
Our text detection is peer-reviewed. Our image detection ranks first on industry benchmarks. Every method is tested against hundreds of real samples.
We intentionally cap our confidence on lower-quality methods. We'd rather say “uncertain” than wrongly accuse someone of using AI.
What We Can't Do (Yet)
Very short text — a tweet under 50 characters — doesn’t give us enough signal to work with.
AI text that’s been heavily rewritten by a human blends the signals. We might miss it.
Brand new AI models we haven’t encountered may slip through until we update our methods.
We prioritize avoiding false accusations. If we’re not confident, we say so.
Your Content Stays Yours
Analyzed and discarded
We process your content and immediately delete it. Only a one-way fingerprint is kept.
No tracking
We don’t follow you around the web. The extension only activates when you choose to scan.
No account required
Install and start scanning without signing up.
You’re in control
Export or delete your data anytime.

Does it work on my browser?
Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi. Firefox support is coming.
What social media does it support?
X, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Threads, Substack, Medium — and you can add any site.
Is it free?

How is this different from ChatGPT detectors like GPTZero?
