Because writing is a process full of thinking, not a final document.

Bonafide automatically highlights when students pasted outside text in their Google Docs.

But we also believe that children should use AI.

They should just be transparent on how they use these new tools.

Bonafide asks students to comment on their writing process.

Reflecting on their process, helps students celebrate their hard, original work.

Bonafide also can detect when students are typing faster than thinking - copying text from an outside source.

  • We Never See Your Student's Data

    We obsess about student privacy. No student writing or information is ever sent to Bonafide. Additionally, Bonafide is reviewed and monitored directly by Google.

  • Simple, Easy Conversations for All Teachers

    Bonafideautomatically adds conversations around AI, plagerism, and self-efficacyinto the writing process. Every teacher can have thse simple, and easy conversations.

  • Empowering Students through Transparency

    Bonafide is designed by teachers thinking about the future of AI. We help teachers set transparent expectations and students showcase their original work.

But how does it really work?

Researching how students use i-Ready, Dr. Elliott Hedman, from the MIT Media Lab, noticed that often times students behaviors are stronger indicators of learning than evaluating the final assignments.

We paid students to write their homework assignments copying ChatGPT. We then used AI to identify how their typing behaviors look different copying ChatGPT versus writing their own essay.

While copying ideas is fast, and easy, our algorithms showed how writing original thoughts takes time and hard work. We built Bonafide to highlight when students are thinking and putting time into their writing.

Working with Matt Miller from Ditch that Textbook, we then interviewed 100 teachers, asking them how they wanted their students to reflect on the writing process.
