We’ve built a solution in conjunction with a university to this problem that is pretty low effort to implement, but very few professors can be bothered to even try it out (the apathy and red tape is unreal). Honestly, it has been disheartening that distribution is so tough, as the results have been great for those who are using it.

Could you share the product and some details about it? I'm curious.

Presumably it's: https://inktrail.co

As I understand it, it records when you're writing, including all edits and such, and verifies it's human based on that. Well, see the demo at https://inktrail.co/in-action

It will probably work well right now, but I don't know how easy that would be to fool once the hucksters build tools to circumvent it.

Do you happen to know if there is some overlap between these professors and professors who also refuse AI-detectors? Apathy could be the reason but I wonder how much of it is driven by cynicism encouraged by the inefficacy of AI-detecting tools.

Well that's terrible news. Currently building a product for the same market (completely different solution if the nephew comment is correct about your product). I'm already not thrilled to be in ed-tech selling to instructors with admin's money. I thought at least the instructors would have some enthusiasm to solve the problem. Shit.

As a professor would be interested in a solution to this problem, I'd be curious to see hear more details. FERPA issues can sometimes make it difficult to adopt solutions where student info of any kind needs to be sent to a third party.
