Pangram now offers an AI detector that scans incoming Gmail messages for machine-generated text. The tool flags emails likely written by AI models rather than people.
The detector works by analyzing writing patterns and flagging text that matches known AI output. Users can connect it to their inbox and receive alerts on suspicious messages.
A test run on a personal Gmail account found a notable share of emails carrying AI-generated text. The flagged messages ranged from marketing copy to routine correspondence.
Pangram positions the tool for people who want to screen incoming mail before reading it. The approach adds a layer of filtering beyond standard spam detection.
Accuracy remains a key question for any AI detector. False positives can mislabel human writing, while false negatives let machine text through unnoticed.
The tool reflects a growing push to identify AI content across everyday platforms. Email joins social media and publishing tools in adopting detection features.
Pangram’s inbox integration is available now for Gmail users. The company says it will refine detection as more messages are analyzed.
