English / EAP — 450 words — Analyzed just now
Your writing shows good structure but relies too heavily on generic phrases. Your critical thinking is strong — focus on making your language more personal and adding citations.
Some sections read as AI-generated. Below we've highlighted them and explained why they feel robotic, so you can fix them.
Here's exactly what our analyzer found and why each signal matters. This helps you understand what to fix.
Checks how much of your text matches common online sources, AI patterns, and generic phrasing.
Each skill is graded independently. You might be A-level in thinking but C-level in writing — that's normal! Focus on your weakest skill first.
Here's exactly what to do to move up. We show all paths so you see the full picture, but start with your weakest skill.
Each paragraph gets feedback. We highlight what's good, what needs work, and give you a hint (not the answer) to improve.
We found claims that need citations. Here's how to reference them properly.

If you're looking for an alternative to commercial essay-grading and AI-detection platforms, here's an honest comparison of what each type of tool is built for — and why Enchantly is different.
Most academic essay-grading and AI-detection platforms — including Turnitin, CoGrader, Brisk, Originality.ai, and GPTZero — are designed primarily for teachers, schools, and institutions. They help instructors review submissions, flag suspected AI writing, and measure similarity to other sources. That's a legitimate and important job, but it's not the same job as helping a student improve their writing.
Enchantly is built in the opposite direction. It's an AI writing coach for students, designed to be used before you submit your essay. It tells you what's weak, why it's weak, and exactly how to fix it — with examples from your own draft and mini-lessons that teach the underlying skill.
Both types of tools can coexist. Your teacher might use one to grade you. You use Enchantly to make sure you write the best possible version before they do.

This comparison reflects our understanding of how commercial AI grading platforms are marketed and sold. Feature sets change frequently — check individual products for the latest information.
You're a teacher or administrator who needs to review student submissions, check for originality, and make grading decisions at scale. Commercial platforms are built for this — and they do it well.
You're a student who wants to improve your essay before you submit it. Get skill-by-skill grades, specific coaching tips, and a clear action plan. Free for students, built for learning, no institution account required.
Enchantly is an AI writing coach that analyzes your draft across six independent skills: critical thinking, evidence and examples, academic voice, structure, originality, and language. Each skill gets its own grade, its own feedback, and its own improvement path.
The core feature is Today's Focus — instead of giving you a wall of twenty tips, Enchantly picks the single highest-impact change for your current draft and walks you through it with an example pulled from your own essay. Fix that one thing, rescan, watch your grade improve.
Enchantly supports all major student writing contexts: IELTS Writing Task 1 and Task 2, TOEFL independent and integrated writing, SAT essay, AP English, A-Level and GCSE essays, IB Theory of Knowledge, SPM and STPM writing components, Australian HSC, university foundation programmes, undergraduate essays, and general academic writing.
Every feature is designed to make you a better writer — not just tell you what's wrong with your current draft.
Yes. Essay analysis, skill grading, Today's Focus, paragraph coaching, and the core AI writing feedback are free forever with no sign-up required. Optional premium features cost $1.99 a month.
Yes. Enchantly grades IELTS and TOEFL writing using criteria aligned with the official band descriptors — task response, coherence, lexical resource, and grammatical range and accuracy. Every analysis tells you which criterion is pulling your score down and exactly what to fix.
No. Enchantly is a coaching tool, not an essay generator. We grade what you've written and teach you how to improve it. Your writing stays yours — we never generate content on your behalf.
No. You can paste or upload an essay and get a full analysis without signing up. Creating a free account saves your scan history and unlocks progress tracking, achievements, and the partner program where you can earn commission by referring friends.
No. Your essays are analyzed in real time and then discarded. We don't store your writing, we don't sell your data, and we don't train AI models on your work.
Enchantly uses a mix of fast pattern analysis and frontier language models. The free tier runs on Gemini 2.0 Flash and Llama 3.3. If you have your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google AI API key, you can plug it in and use Claude, GPT-5, or Gemini 2.5 Pro instead — entirely optional, your key stays in your browser.
Yes. Enchantly is a web app that works on any phone, tablet, or computer. You can even photograph a handwritten assignment prompt or a printed essay and our AI will read it, extract the text, and explain what the question is asking.
Enchantly is free, requires no sign-up, and gives you a full skill-by-skill grade in under 30 seconds. Paste your essay, snap a photo, or upload a file.
Most AI writing tools grade you. Enchantly teaches you why — and what to fix next.
We built Enchantly because getting a grade on an essay without knowing why is the most frustrating thing in academic writing. You stare at a percentage, you see some highlighted sentences, and you're left to figure out the rest on your own. That's not teaching — that's measurement.
Enchantly is the AI study companion that flips the model. We use the same kind of advanced language analysis as commercial grading tools, but every piece of feedback is written for you, the student. Every flag comes with a specific coaching tip, a 2-minute mini-lesson explaining the concept, and a clear action you can take on your next draft. The goal isn't to catch you — it's to make you a better writer before you submit.
Simple version: most AI essay tools tell you what's wrong. Enchantly shows you how to fix it.
Students improve faster when feedback is specific, kind, and actionable. Enchantly never just says "this is weak" — we always show you exactly how to strengthen it with examples from your own essay.
Paying $20 a month for a generic AI chatbot is too much for most students. We built a dedicated AI writing coach for $1.99 a month — and the core features are free forever, no credit card.
Most essay grading tools are built for American or British universities. Enchantly works for IELTS and TOEFL test-takers, A-Level and IB students, SPM candidates in Malaysia, AP students in the US, and undergraduates worldwide.
We don't store your essays after analysis. We don't sell your data. We don't train AI models on your work. Your draft is analyzed, graded, and then deleted. That's it.
Enchantly accepts plain text, .docx, .pdf, and photos from your phone. Works on mobile. Works on desktop. No sign-up required to try.
Enchantly grades critical thinking, evidence, academic voice, structure, originality, and language separately. You see where you're strong, where you need work, and how each skill contributes to your overall grade — not just one vague number.
Instead of dumping twenty generic tips on you, Enchantly picks the single highest-impact change for your current draft — with a specific example pulled from your essay. One thing. Fix it, rescan, watch the grade climb.
Every skill has a library of mini-lessons built around it — the "so what" test for critical thinking, the Malaysian context move for evidence, the thesis chain for structure. Each lesson takes two minutes and includes a practice exercise with instant AI feedback.
Every scan saves to your personal dashboard. You see your skill scores trend week over week, unlock achievements, build a streak, and watch your progress as a real graph. Improvement is visible, measurable, and yours to keep.
Enchantly isn't a venture-backed edtech startup. It's a small team that wanted an AI writing coach that actually teaches, priced for students who can't afford a $20/month chatbot subscription. Every feature exists because a student needed it at 2am the night before a deadline. If you want to support us, share Enchantly with a friend who's struggling with an essay right now.
