AI CODE DETECTOR GUIDE
Can you use an AI code detector on a partial code snippet?
Yes. A partial snippet can be reviewed, but the result only describes the heuristic rules that matched the code you supplied. A small excerpt has less context and cannot prove who wrote the code.
In Is My Code AI, analysis stays in your browser.
What a snippet review can show
Is My Code AI can analyze code pasted into the browser. Its report shows a heuristic score, the matched rules, and flagged lines. That can help you identify a pattern worth examining in a function, a pull-request excerpt, or another focused piece of code.
The result is limited to the code that was supplied. It does not describe files, conventions, history, or discussions that are outside the snippet.
Keep the score in its proper scope
The score is a summary of the configured matching rules found in the submitted excerpt. It is not a probability, an accuracy claim, or a verdict about the entire project.
When the excerpt is short, the surrounding implementation is especially important. A flagged comment, identifier, or error message may have an ordinary explanation in the larger codebase that cannot appear in a partial snippet.
Review flagged lines with their context
Use a flagged line as a pointer for follow-up. Read the enclosing function, nearby comments, callers, tests, and the project style rules before deciding whether the matched pattern matters.
Matched rules can guide a technical review, but they do not establish intent, originality, or authorship. A detector report should not be treated as proof that AI wrote the code or proof of who authored it.
Choose the smallest useful input
Start with the code that contains the question you want to investigate. If the report leaves a flagged line unclear, expand the review to include the relevant surrounding implementation rather than treating the excerpt as a complete answer.
For a broader local review, Is My Code AI also lets you choose supported source files or a local folder. Supported languages are Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, PHP, and C#.
Keep source code on your device
Is My Code AI runs in the current browser. Pasted code and code selected from your device are analyzed locally; this static site does not upload submitted code.
Try the browser-based AI code detector to inspect heuristic matches without sending the code to this site.
