The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Edward Tian told Business Insider that GPTZero has accumulated over 19 million registered users and achieved $30 million in annual recurring revenue. Edward Tian and his high school friend, co-founder and CTO Alex Cui, raised $3.5 million in a seed round led by Uncork Capital, followed by a $10 million Series A round in June 2024 led by Footwork co-founder Nikhil Basu Trivedi, with other investors including Reach Capital, Jack Altman's Alt Capital, and Neo.

Grammarly's tools aim to help users determine if their writing resembles AI-generated content, allowing for revisions. Regarding this acquisition, Superhuman stated that two AI detectors are better than one.
