✅ Short answer
To check whether a Malay (Bahasa Melayu) text was written by AI, you need a detector that reads Malay. Turnitin does not give an AI score for Malay — its AI detector only reads English, Spanish and Japanese. GPTZero can check Malay text, and we have tested it on real Malay assignments. At Coolsbox you pay per file from RM2.39, with no subscription, and get a PDF report in 0–5 minutes.
🤔 Why Turnitin isn't enough for Malay
Turnitin can check Malay documents for similarity (plagiarism), but its AI detector does not support Malay. An AI + Plagiarism report on a Malay document therefore only contains the similarity part. If you need to know whether a Malay assignment looks AI-written, you need another detector — such as GPTZero.

⚠️ Good to know
This is a GPTZero report, not Turnitin. GPTZero's % is the probability that the whole document is AI-written — not the share of AI text — so it can differ from Turnitin. Your file is only used for this check and is deleted automatically after 14 days.
