Document your AI use as you write.

Academic by Signet is a Chrome extension and dashboard for writing in Google Docs. It keeps track of the sources and AI you use, and writes up the statement and citations your course asks for.

Simple to use

Academic keeps the pastes you make from outside your document and asks what each one is: AI-assisted, a quote, a source, your notes, an earlier draft. One tap.

Review any time, in the document or on your dashboard. Add a link or a prompt. Delete anything.

Academic drafts your AI use statement from what you labelled. Citations gives APA or MLA, in text and in the list. Edit, copy, paste into your paper.

Beyond citations

Make a record of how your paper came together: your sessions, what you pasted, how you labelled it, your statement. Any time, from your dashboard. Academic can also read your Google Docs revision history, so work on another machine or offline is in the record too.

Can I turn it off?

Yes. Academic runs in every Google Doc you open. Exclude or include any document at any time, from the extension menu in the document.

Does Academic use AI?

No. Nothing you write is sent to an AI model or used to train one. Nobody sees it unless you share it. Academic is not an AI detector or a humanizer.

Free. No ads, nothing sold. Academic is made by Signet Proof, Inc. as part of our work on provenance for digital media.

Open beta, updated often.

Requires a Google account and Chrome 114 or later.
