Problem
Educators lack reliable methods to verify that students’ written work reflects genuine effort and authorship, especially when AI tools are used, making it difficult to assess originality and maintain academic integrity.
Solution
Cursive provides an authorship‑first writing platform that captures hundreds of typing behavior data points to generate a verifiable “proof of effort” for each document. The system records detailed revision history across the entire writing workflow, enabling transparent analysis of how a piece was created. It supports any level of AI assistance while clearly indicating AI usage, allowing teachers to assess originality and authenticity. Integration with common editors, Google Docs, and LMS platforms—including a free Moodle extension—lets institutions adopt the tool without extensive technical overhead. Analytics and custom reporting give educators actionable insights into student writing processes and skill development.
Target Audience
Primary customers are K‑12 schools, colleges, and universities that need to monitor writing integrity, as well as educators and administrators using LMS platforms such as Moodle.
