About NotBot

NotBot is built by Sebastian Nordstrom, an indie maker focused on tools for the moments where most people are forced to write something important in the worst conditions: stressed, on a deadline, and staring at a blank page.

Why this exists

AI-detection tools went from a fringe experiment to a routine input in academic-integrity decisions in about eighteen months. The detectors themselves have a non-trivial false positive rate, openly acknowledged by their own vendors, and disproportionately misclassify the writing of non-native English speakers and formal academic prose. A student gets flagged, the accusation arrives, and they have a few days to respond before a hearing or a grade penalty.

NotBot exists for that few-day window. Tell us what you wrote, what was flagged, and what the institution is doing, and you get back three editable response drafts, a next-steps guide grounded in the actual policy structure of your institution type, and an appeal-ready version if you need it. Same evening, $49, no account.

What NotBot is not

NotBot is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. The documents we generate are personalized templates that you review and edit. For accusations involving expulsion, criminal charges, visa consequences, or significant financial harm, you should also consult a licensed education-law attorney.

About the editorial

Every research piece on the NotBot blog is written or directly edited by Sebastian. The focus is on peer-reviewed research, documented court and tribunal outcomes, and vendor documentation — not opinion pieces or anecdotal write-ups.

Sister projects

Same maker, same approach to two other moments where a blank page is the enemy:

• OneLast.Day — AI-drafted handover documents for people leaving a job.
• PaperHammer — invoice dispute letters for independent contractors who are owed money.
