Towards Saving the Internet: Introducing 'Save Scans' on Origin

Edward Tian -

Today, we’re excited to announce a major update to Origin — giving users the ability to transfer and save content discovered on our Origin chrome extension for further analysis in the GPTZero Dashboard. 

This feature builds upon Origin’s last update, which enabled the scanning of entire websites for AI analysis. We realized that just scanning as you browse wasn't enough. People needed a way to remember, revisit, and re-analyze the content they encounter daily. 

The New Power of Origin

With the new “Saves” feature in the Origin Chrome Extension, users can now effortlessly and automatically save their scan results in their dashboard history for later viewing. Here's how this transforms your experience:

  1. Origin as an “OCR” tool: Origin has evolved into one of the most sophisticated OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools on the market, able to scan, save, and analyze textual data on the internet. We’ve merged our OCR technology with the capacity to store, read, and analyze texts into the future.
  2. Revisit and read: Have you ever come upon online material that you wish you had stored for later? With “Save”, review the findings and insights from your scans whenever you'd like.
  3. Educator Friendly: This feature has the potential to reshape the way instructors interact with learning management systems like Blackboard and Canvas. Teachers may now scan, store, and then evaluate textual content immediately on GPTZero rather than having to download and copy it.
  4. Empowering journalists and researchers: Saving scans on Origin provides journalists and academics with a helpful answer in a world where it's critical to check and verify a source. Origin can go a step beyond simply detecting AI-written content; it preserves that data for future reference, comparison, and analysis.

The Save functionality isn’t just a feature; it’s a means of preserving the quality of information in an AI world. With 'Saves' on Origin, we're ensuring that every click, scan, and piece of information is preserved and utilized in perpetuity.


Join us on this exciting journey to better understand — and save — the internet.
