AI TruthTeller® and Quillbot are fundamentally two different tools. Quillbot is a writing tool. It helps you write, rewrite and improve your own content. Its goal is to make your writing sound better, more fluent and less robotic. AI TruthTeller is for “human verification.” It helps you analyze incoming content to detect deception. It helps you tell if the person or image you are interacting with is real or fake.

  • Choose AI TruthTeller® if you are an individual concerned about online safety, avoiding scams, verifying if a person on a dating app or in a chat is real; or detecting fake images.

  • Choose Quillbot if you are a student, academic, author or professional looking to improve grammar, tone, and clarity; or if you need to generate text or a synthetic image.

The idea of “Offense vs. Defense”

Although Quillbot offers AI detection, it primarily acts as an “offensive” tool in the world of artificial intelligence. Its “Humanizer” and paraphrasing features are used to bypass AI detectors by rewriting AI-generated text to sound human.

In contrast, AI TruthTeller® is a “decision support platform.” It is not built to help you write; it is built to help protect you. Its unique value proposition lies in human interaction detection in text and images, features that Quillbot entirely lacks. This makes AI TruthTeller® significantly more useful for identifying scammers, catfish efforts and fake profiles on social media and dating platforms where AI generated images are common. Detection of deceptive headshots for job applicants in human resources is another high value use. AI TruthTeller useslarge language models to analyze patterns (e.g. heuristics) to catch the very content tools like Quilbot help create (although in fairness, Quillbot’s purpose is the ethical use in writing improvement, not deception.

Accuracy and Trust

  • AI TruthTeller®: By focusing specifically on detection, it delivers high sensitivity to AI. It uses a “jury” approach—combining assessment and detection from multiple AI models—combined with human reviews to continuously improve and reach a verdict (Final Judgement). This provides more robust detection than relying entirely on a single AI model.

  • Quillbot: Independent sources (e.g. G2) give QuillBot high marks for making writing painless. With a robust writing suite featuring tools like Paraphraser, Grammar Checker, Plagiarism Checker, and an AI writing assistant, QuillBot elevates your writing experience from the brainstorming stages to the finished draft.

Image Capabilities

  • Quillbot: Includes an AI Image generator that turns text into art. It creates synthetic media.

  • AI TruthTeller®: Includes an AI Image Detector. It identifies synthetic media.

Platform and Workflow

  • Quilbot lives where you work, in Microsoft Word, Chrome, macOS desktop, etc. It integrates into your writing workflow.

  • AI TruthTeller® lives where you communicate, in Mobile apps (iOS & Android) and Windows browser extensions. It integrates into your conversational and social workflow.

Final Thoughts

AI TruthTeller® and Quillbot are not direct competitors but rather are opposites. You would use Quillbot to write the perfect love letter, and the recipient would use AI TruthTeller to make sure you actually wrote it - and that you are a real person. They do not compete directly; rather they represent two sides of the GenAI coin — content creation and content detection.

If your goal is security, verification and avoiding deception from AI generated content and people, AI TruthTeller® is the better choice. If your goal is productivity and writing excellence, and creation of synthetic media, Quillbot is the better option.
