A teacher asks how you built your argument.
Walk through the reading notes, early ideas, and outline you kept along the way, each with the date it was saved.
For students and writers
Show that your thinking came first.
AI detectors estimate, and an estimate can be wrong. If your work is ever questioned, a record of how your ideas developed says more than a score. Origo keeps your own words as dated sources and keeps any AI help clearly labeled as AI's.
What Origo keeps for you
Your words first. AI's help, labeled.
Capture a reaction to a reading, an idea for a thesis, or an outline as you go. Type it, or say it and review the transcript before you keep it. Each one is saved as your own source with the time it was captured.
When you ask AI a question about your notes, its answer is a separate record, marked as machine output and linked to the exact notes it used. Your own words stay separate from it.
Over time that becomes a path you can show: what you started with, where AI contributed, and what you decided.
When it helps
For the moments someone asks.
An editor asks whether AI was involved.
Answer from a record instead of memory: which ideas were yours, where you asked AI for help, and what you did with its suggestions.
You want to study with AI without blurring the line.
Ask questions about your own notes. The answers are stored as AI output, separate from what you wrote, so you never have to untangle them later.
You come back to a project months later.
Return to why you chose an angle, not just the final draft. The model that helped you will not remember. Your record will.
