Ethics & Integrity

Our Commitment to
Ethical AI

We built Phrasly to help people write better, not to write for them. Here is how we think about responsibility, integrity, and the role AI should play in your writing process.

Our Philosophy

AI as a Writing Partner

We believe AI works best when it supports your voice rather than replacing it. Phrasly is built to help you refine your ideas, improve clarity, and strengthen your writing while keeping your original thinking at the center. Think of it like a writing coach that helps you say what you mean more effectively.

Academic Integrity

Upholding Academic Standards

Academic integrity matters deeply to us. Our tools are designed to help students learn and improve their writing skills over time, not to shortcut the learning process. We encourage every user to follow their institution's guidelines and to use Phrasly as a tool for growth, not a substitute for genuine effort.

Core Principles

What We Stand For

These principles guide every decision we make, from the features we build to the way we communicate with our users.

Honesty & Transparency

We are upfront about what our tools can and cannot do. Phrasly is a writing assistant, not an author. We believe users deserve clear information about how AI works and how it interacts with their content.

User Privacy First

Your writing is yours. We do not use your content to train our models, and we take data protection seriously. What you write in Phrasly stays between you and Phrasly.

Responsible Innovation

We do not build features just because we can. Every tool we release is carefully considered for its impact on users, educators, and the broader writing community. We ask ourselves whether each feature helps people become better writers.

Fairness & Accessibility

Great writing tools should be available to everyone. We work to make Phrasly accessible across languages, backgrounds, and skill levels so that more people can benefit from AI-assisted writing support.

Responsible Use

How to Use Phrasly Responsibly

We want every Phrasly user to feel confident that they are using our tools the right way. Here are some guidelines we stand behind.

Use It to Learn

Treat Phrasly as a learning tool. Review the suggestions it makes, understand why changes are recommended, and apply those lessons to future writing.

Keep Your Voice

AI should enhance your writing, not erase it. Use Phrasly to polish and improve your work, but make sure the ideas and arguments remain your own.

Follow Your Institution's Rules

Every school, university, and organization has its own policies on AI tools. Always check with your institution and stay within their guidelines when using Phrasly.

Be Honest About AI Use

If your institution or publisher requires disclosure of AI tool usage, be transparent. Integrity builds trust, and we encourage openness about using writing assistance.

Do Not Misrepresent Your Work

Phrasly helps you improve your writing, but the final work should genuinely reflect your understanding and effort. Never submit AI-enhanced content as entirely your own if policies say otherwise.

Use AI for Good

We built Phrasly to help people communicate more clearly and confidently. Use it to elevate your writing, break through language barriers, and share your ideas with the world.

For Educators

We Stand With
Educators

We understand that AI writing tools raise important questions for teachers and professors. We want to be part of the solution, not the problem. Here is how we support the education community.

Transparency in AI

We believe educators deserve full visibility into how AI writing tools work. Our AI detector is available for free so that teachers can better understand AI-generated content and make informed decisions.

Supporting Learning Goals

Phrasly is built to support the educational process. Our tools help students improve their writing skills, expand their vocabulary, and learn to communicate more effectively over time.

Open Dialogue

We welcome conversations with educators about AI in the classroom. If you have questions, concerns, or ideas about how we can better support academic integrity, we would love to hear from you.
