BrightKite
Paste detection

Your policy, your rules. We just make it visible.

Every paste event is logged permanently — the content, the timestamp, and the source. Whether you block paste or allow it, you'll always know what happened.

Permanent provenance

Paste events can't be undone, hidden, or removed. Even if a student deletes the pasted text afterward, the log stays. It's part of the writing record.

Inline highlights

Pasted content gets a subtle highlight in the document and a detailed card in the margin. Teachers see exactly what was pasted without digging through logs.

Flexible policy

Block paste entirely for high-stakes essays. Allow paste with tracking for research papers. Each assignment gets the policy that makes sense for that task.

Context, not just detection

A student pasting a quote for analysis is fine. A student pasting three paragraphs from ChatGPT is different. You'll see both — and you decide what matters.

Why paste detection matters now

Google Docs has no paste detection. Version history can be gamed in seconds. And AI-generated text doesn't show up as "pasted" in any standard tool.

BrightKite captures paste events at the browser level — before they reach the document. The student can't circumvent it because the writing happens inside BrightKite's secure layer.

This isn't about punishment. It's about having a factual record of how an essay was composed, so conversations about academic integrity start with evidence instead of suspicion.
