MATCHA Writer<br>is a writing environment that lets students prove their authorship. For in-class activities, it<br>offers a<br>digital alternative to pencil and paper<br>by blocking copy-paste, automation, and other ways of importing AI-generated answers. For at-home<br>work, MATCHA promotes integrity by<br>creating comprehensive proofs of work<br>, including all reading done for a paper, and facilitating in-person<br>authorship assessment quizzes<br>. MATCHA also streamlines academic writing with automatic citation from quotations, citation<br>insertion from research indexes, and an optional pedagogical AI assistant.

Don't detect AI, prevent it.

Detecting and policing AI misuse is costly, ineffective, and fraught.

MATCHA's approach is to preempt AI misuse by blocking or deterring it.

For educators

Three supervision models. One app.

In class

MATCHA prevents AI misuse on the student’s computer with<br>Single-App Mode<br>and<br>Copy-Paste Control<br>, while the instructor ensures no other device is used. Unlike locked browsers designed for taking<br>exams on LMSes, MATCHA is a full word processor, which is both better for writing and better for<br>preventing AI misuse.

Check-In

Supervised writing labs

A MATCHA-enabled innovation, supervised writing labs let students work on their own time. MATCHA's<br>unique<br>Check-In<br>feature ensures students work on their assignments only while checked into a lab. By repurposing<br>existing space and teaching resources, this new approach enables fair essay assessments in the age<br>of AI while improving the student's experience through increased supervision and community.

At home

MATCHA deters AI misuse in unsupervised settings by allowing instructors to reward students for<br>their work process rather than just their output. This is achieved with<br>Complete Work History<br>, which records and summarizes all work done, including reading in the built-in browser, allowing<br>instructors to quickly assess level of effort. In addition, MATCHA-facilitated in-person

authorship assessment follow-up quizzes

further raise the bar for AI misuse.

Optional AI assistant

AI that helps students learn.

MATCHA's optional, instructor-configured AI assistant can offer help with grammar, style, and, if<br>desired, composition. Best of all, it has a pedagogical mode, in which it guides students to make<br>their own corrections, facilitating learning.

For authors and creators

Human creations are valuable in virtue of their origin.

Record the act of writing

MATCHA lets all content creators document their work's origination process, which is becoming<br>increasingly important in the age of AI. Unlike other edit-tracking tools, MATCHA is a secure<br>environment that can block all automation—if it's written with MATCHA, it's written by a human<br>being. MATCHA's Complete Work History feature can also record all browser-based work (e.g.<br>researching) and summarize the reading that went into your final product.
