Start with your programme’s rules
A detector score or a news report does not replace your programme’s assessment rules. Ask your supervisor what you must declare and which records you should retain.
What it means for you
The rules for your thesis are set by your programme and your university, not by a news report or a tool. Read your faculty's guidance on AI, and ask your supervisor if anything is unclear.
Whatever the rules, one thing helps in every case: being able to show how you worked. If you used AI to find a topic, structure a chapter or check your English, a clear record lets you say so plainly.
A record is not permission.
Keeping your chats shows how you worked. It doesn't make an AI-written text yours, and it doesn't make a use your programme forbids acceptable. Uncook doesn't help anyone get past a detector, and it isn't meant to.
What a good record contains
Whatever form your programme asks for, three things will help:
- Which tool: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini…
- For what: finding sources, structuring, rephrasing, explaining a concept.
- What you did with it: checked, corrected, partly used, discarded.
Keep the chats that matter alongside your notes, with the date and the chapter they relate to.
Keep the chats themselves
Copying a long chat into a document by hand is tedious, and formatting gets lost. Export in Uncook saves the chat itself as PDF, Markdown or plain text. Open it in ChatGPT, click the Uncook icon and choose Export. It's free and runs in your browser.
If you'd rather have an overview of what was decided in a long chat, Memo (1 task) turns it into a document: what's decided, what changed along the way, what was set aside. Useful before you fill in a declaration.
FAQ
Do I have to hand in my chats? It depends on your programme. Check your faculty's guidance or ask your supervisor.
Does Uncook check whether my text looks AI-written? No. Uncook saves and organises what's in your chats. It doesn't score or rewrite your text.
Is my chat sent to Uncook when I export it? No. Export runs in your browser, through the extension, and nothing is kept on our side.

without starting over.
Add to Chrome
Export runs in your browser, through the extension. The chat isn't sent to our servers, and nothing is kept on our side.
We don't keep the conversations you bring. When you click Send to Uncook in the extension window, the extension sends the chat from your tab to our servers, encrypted, for up to 30 minutes, and we delete it as soon as your Uncook page opens it. What Uncook makes from it is kept as a task, for as long as our Privacy page says. Neither your chats nor your tasks are used to train AI models.
