Detect and Humanize - Overview and Working

The feature scans for AI-written content and provides you with the option to humanize it, making your content more natural and relatable.


Introducing the improved “Detect and Humanize” add-on in Scalenut’s GEO Core.

As Scalenut transitions from traditional SEO to a more powerful Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform, we continue to strengthen the tools that empower content teams to thrive in an AI-first landscape. One such essential enhancement is the upgraded “Detect and Humanize” module—a core add-on designed to help you strike the perfect balance between machine efficiency and human relatability.

Whether you're optimizing for AI engines or enhancing content discoverability across human-centric platforms, Detect and Humanize ensures your message lands with impact—without sounding robotic.

What does the Detect and Humanize feature do?

Scans for AI-written content and gives you the ability to transform it into human-sounding, natural copy—instantly.

Key Benefits in the GEO Workflow:

  • Authenticity that Connects: Make your content sound more human, emotional, and relevant—crucial for both AI and human engagement across platforms.

  • Enhanced Engagement:  Improve tone, flow, and readability to keep your audience reading—especially important as AI engines now favor natural, conversational content.

  • Workflow Flexibility: Seamlessly toggle between AI-generated and humanized versions of your copy, based on your brand voice and campaign goals.

  • Time-Saving Efficiency: Refine your AI drafts in seconds. No need to rewrite—just detect, tweak, and publish.

As part of Scalenut’s GEO Core, this improved module plays a vital role in helping brands produce content that’s not only optimized for search engines but discoverable across generative engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and more.

Want to know how the Detect and Humanize Add-on works? Here’s how-

STEP 1

Head over to your Scalenut Dashboard and click on ‘Detect and Humanize’, available on your left navigation panel, under the GEO Core section.




STEP 2

On the redirected screen, click on the plan of your choice or ‘Get for free’.




STEP 3

You’d then be redirected to the ‘Detect and Humanize’ section. To check for any new content, click on ‘New Scan’. In case you want to work on a content which you’ve already checked before, simply click on ‘Open Document’ available beside the name.



STEP 4

For new content, on the redirected screen, you’ll find the pen icon on top to add/edit the name. In this case, we’d name it ‘Beginners Guide to Content Marketing Strategies’.


STEP 5

On the left side, you can paste the original text of your choice. Or, even write the content here if you wish. You can also use the toolbar to make any formatting changes.


STEP 6

To check your content for AI detection, click on ‘Scan’. Our system will then check your content and display the percentage of AI content. 

Please note: To check, you’d need to put at least 250 characters.





STEP 7

To make the content human-like, click on ‘Humanize’. Our system will then work on the given content and display a changed version of it. You can also use the toolbar to make any formatting changes.


STEP 8

Once humanized, you’ll find the changed version on the Humanized Text field. 

You can also see the new percentage of AI detection below. You can also copy the entire changed version by clicking on the ‘Copy’ icon available on the top-right. If required, you can also make manual edits here and check again by clicking on ‘Scan’.



PLEASE NOTE:

Once you’ve humanized the content, you cannot edit the original text. If you want to make any edits to the original text, you’d have to create a new scan document by clicking on ‘Yes Proceed’.
