Mails to Universities

Version 1

Dear …,

The rise of AI technologies presents new challenges for universities, particularly when it comes to preserving academic integrity. With generative AI tools allowing students to generate written content without deeply engaging with the subject matter, both educators and students face increased uncertainty. Traditional plagiarism detection methods no longer provide sufficient solutions, and AI detection tools have yet to offer reliable results.

This is where Mentafy can make a difference:

  • Analyzing the Writing Process: Mentafy allows educators to review the entire writing journey, providing clear insights into how students develop their work and ensuring adherence to academic standards. Our detailed reports increase transparency around the use of AI in student writing.

  • Building Writing Skills: Beyond detecting misconduct, Mentafy fosters critical thinking, research, and self-discipline, actively supporting students in developing essential academic skills. Our platform helps guide students toward stronger, more independent writing practices.

  • Providing Support and Guidance: With tailored tips and project management tools, Mentafy ensures students stay on track, improving productivity while fostering sustainable skill development.

  • Promoting Responsible AI Use: Instead of banning AI, we advocate for its responsible use. Mentafy empowers students to navigate the evolving academic and professional landscape, making AI a helpful learning tool rather than a shortcut.

We would be pleased to discuss how Mentafy can support your institution in tackling these challenges and strengthening students‘ academic integrity. Feel free to contact us for more details or to arrange a conversation with our team.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Dear …,

Are you happy with your options to identify, whether a student or AI has written a paper? With the rise of AI technologies, academic integrity challenges have reached new heights.

  • Conventional plagiarism checkers are no longer working, because students can now use generative AI to mask plagiarism with a single click

  • AI detection tools are not reliable and don’t provide actual evidence for AI usage.

  • Accordingly students are bypassing existing checks and potentially completing assignments with minimal engagement.

Our solution: Mentafy documents the entire writing process, enabling educators to verify originality and support academic integrity. It doesn’t stop there; we also provide proactive writing support to guide students in creating authentic, well-informed work while responsibly integrating AI.

Dear …,

As AI tools become more sophisticated, ensuring the authenticity of student work has become more challenging. Many schools are searching for solutions. Do you have an AI-detection solution in place that you’re happy with?

At Mentafy, we take a different approach from 1st generation AI detection tools. Instead of analyzing only the final document, we examine the entire writing process, including the research phase. This allows us an evidence-based differentiation between authentic human work and text that has been copied, AI-generated, or inserted from external sources.

What makes Mentafy unique:

  • Process-Based Approach – Analyzes writing behavior real-time to detect AI-generated or plagiarized content.

  • Proactive Student Support – Helps students develop strong writing habits and avoid misconduct from the start.

  • Seamless Integration – Works in the background with MS Word and Google Docs

  • Privacy-First – Only collects minimal metadata to ensure student data protection.

If this sounds interesting, let’s schedule a quick call to explore how Mentafy could support your institution. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts on our approach!

Best regards,

Mentafy is a digital companion for writing academic papers – providing support during all steps from finding a topic to the final submission.  

AI language models (e.g. ChatGPT) have the potential to help with the writing of academic texts. However, AI can also be misused to write entire texts for the student. Academic thinking, research and writing skills are not acquired this way

What can teachers do? For example, use AI-detection software or new rules and forms of examination. However, there is no truly working AI-detection software in sight. Close supervision of students is ideal but also time-consuming and not realistic in every scenario. A reasonable approach left is having authors document the creation of their work precisely so that their personal contribution can be clearly understood

Mentafy helps with exactly this as follows: 

  1. Step-by-step guidance of a good writing process through a clear project plan and concrete tips & tricks for finding topics, research, citations, etc.  

  1. Maximum simplification of the documentation of the writing process (photos, voice notes, files go directly into the research log via app), in order to learn self-organization and to be accountable to examiners. 

  1. Automated supervision of the writing process directly in the familiar word processing program, so students always cite correctly and to use AI sensibly and transparently. 

So, students receive 24/7 digital mentoring that supports writing, documentation and the use of AI. Educational institutions use Mentafy to improve compliance with academic writing guidelines. Teachers further benefit from pedagogical information about the students‘ progress, a standardized research protocol and warnings about worrying writing patterns so that they can evaluate their personal contribution. 

 

Conclusion: Mentafy supports the acquisition of writing competence and a productive use of AI while maintaining the learning objectives and guidelines.
