Our Commitment to Academic Integrity
Caktus AI is built as a learning accelerator—not a shortcut. We help students understand, practice, and grow in writing, math, languages, coding, and research while honoring academic honesty.
We believe AI should extend a student’s capacity to think, not replace it. Every feature—from rewriting assistance to citations—reinforces revision, comprehension, and accountability.
Deepen Understanding
Tools surface structure, context, and alternatives so learners can analyze—not blindly copy.
Empower Critical Thinking
Suggestions and rewrites are prompts for refinement, encouraging students to apply judgment and voice.
Encourage Honesty
We display reminders to personalize, verify, and cite generated material before academic use.
Support Educators
We align with instructors by promoting guided drafting, revision workflows, and curricular integration.
- Learning Aid, Not a Replacement: Guidance, explanations, outlines, and rewrites exist to help you iterate—not submit unedited.
- User Responsibility: Students must review, adapt, and cite. Institutions maintain their policies and honor codes.
- Transparency: Contextual prompts encourage originality, personalization, and attribution.
- Institutional Partnerships: Our “Caktus for Schools” programs collaborate with faculty to integrate AI responsibly.
Contextual Prompts
Inline hints remind users to refine, explain reasoning, and cite sources in their own format.
Academic Emphasis
Feature wording and flows nudge reflection, revision, and structured learning outcomes.
Responsible Speed
We optimize performance without encouraging uncritical one-click submission behavior.
Privacy & Trust
We do not sell user-generated academic content. Private inputs are not re-used for unrelated model training.
We continually evaluate friction points to ensure that accelerated creation still requires authentic student oversight.
We comply with global education & privacy standards (including GDPR and SOC 2 Type II). We champion deliberate, reflective study, and do not endorse bypassing institutional policies.
Transparency
Clear signals about how to use outputs
Respect
Reinforce trust between students & faculty
Growth
Elevate skill, not shortcuts
We’re expanding tools that enable faculty to scaffold assignments, highlight revision stages, and integrate AI literacy modules without replacing authentic student effort.
- Optional classroom mode & usage guidance
- Curriculum-aligned prompt templates
- Citation structure & source transparency cues
- Configurable guardrails for output tone & depth

- Use Caktus tools to explore structure, refine phrasing, or inspect example citations.
- Rewrite in your own words—add insight, voice, and sourced evidence.
- Verify facts, check originality, and format citations correctly.
- Submit only work you actively authored and understand.
Submitting AI-generated content as your own may violate academic policies. Always treat outputs as a study aid or reference, not a final submission.
Caktus AI does not guarantee compliance with individual institutional policies. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their use aligns with local academic standards, honor codes, and professional expectations.
If you are unsure whether a use-case is allowed, consult your instructor or institution before incorporating AI-assisted material.
