Move from a hunch to a reviewable signal

See the overall result, understand which writing triggered it, and bring detection into the systems your team already uses.

Screen at scale

Process thousands of applications through the AI Detector API and connect results to your ATS or HR platform.

Understand the result

Per-sentence predictions show exactly which passages carry the strongest machine-generated signals.

Work with resume files

Submit PDF and Word documents directly. Sapling extracts the text before analyzing the application.

Clear results

See what was flagged, not just a score

A single probability is only the starting point. Sapling pairs the overall result with granular signals so reviewers know where to look next.

  • Overall probability
    Quickly prioritize applications that need a closer look.
  • Sentence-level highlighting
    Review the passages that contribute most strongly to the result.
  • Structured API output
    Return scores and predictions to the workflow your team already trusts.
How it works

From application to actionable signal

Start with a single document in the free tool, then use the same detection model across a high-volume workflow.

Submit the application

Paste resume text, upload a PDF or DOCX file, or send document content through the API.

Analyze the writing

Sapling returns an overall AI probability plus predictions for individual sentences.

Review in context

Use the result to guide a closer review or follow-up conversation — never as an automatic rejection.

Responsible screening

Keep people in the decision

AI detection is most useful when it focuses attention rather than making the hiring decision. Results can vary with text length and highly formulaic writing.

Treat the score as one signal among many

A high probability should prompt a thoughtful review or conversation with the candidate. False positives and false negatives are possible with any AI detection system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I detect an AI-generated resume?

Paste the resume text into Sapling's free AI detector, or upload the PDF or DOCX file directly. The tool returns an overall AI probability score and highlights individual sentences most likely to be machine-generated. For bulk screening, use the AI Detector API.

Which AI models does it detect?

The detector is regularly retrained on outputs from GPT-5, Claude 4.5, Gemini 2.5, Qwen3, DeepSeek-V3, Llama 4, and other current models. It also maintains strong performance on older model outputs.

Can I integrate resume detection into our ATS or hiring pipeline?

Yes. The AI Detector API supports high-volume screening. Send resume text or file content directly to the endpoint and receive a structured JSON response with an overall score and per-sentence predictions. Contact us to discuss enterprise volume pricing.

Should AI detection be the only factor in hiring decisions?

No. Like any AI system, the detector can produce false positives and false negatives. It is best used as one signal among many. A high AI-probability score warrants a follow-up conversation rather than automatic disqualification. Short texts and highly formulaic writing styles can affect accuracy.
