CyberSeal.ai vs Examity: Why Universities Need AI-First Proctoring in 2025
Examity has been a trusted name in online proctoring for years. But as AI cheating tools like ChatGPT become more sophisticated, many institutions are discovering that traditional human-proctored solutions can't keep up. Here's what you need to know when evaluating Examity alternatives.
The Examity Approach: Live Human Proctoring
Examity built its reputation on live human proctoring. A real person watches students take exams via webcam, intervening when they spot suspicious behavior. This model worked well for traditional cheating methods - students looking at notes, having someone else in the room, or using unauthorized materials.
The challenge? Human proctors can't detect AI-generated answers. When a student uses ChatGPT on a second device or tablet, the proctor sees someone calmly typing responses. When deepfake technology puts a different face on the video feed, even trained proctors struggle to notice the subtle artifacts.
What Examity Misses: The AI Cheating Gap
Since ChatGPT's release, universities using Examity have reported a troubling pattern: students pass proctored exams with flying colors but can't demonstrate the same knowledge in unproctored settings. The culprit? Sophisticated AI cheating that human proctors simply cannot detect.
AI Cheating Methods Human Proctors Miss:
- Second device AI: Students use phones or tablets to access ChatGPT while their computer is monitored
- Deepfake video: Face-swapping technology lets someone else take the exam while appearing to be the student
- AI voice coaching: Real-time AI assistants provide answers through barely-visible earpieces
- Virtual cameras: OBS and similar software create fake video feeds that bypass webcam verification
CyberSeal.ai: Built for the AI Era
CyberSeal.ai was designed specifically to detect AI cheating. Rather than relying on human observation, our system uses advanced machine learning to identify the digital signatures of AI assistance, deepfakes, and synthetic media - threats invisible to human proctors.
The key difference: CyberSeal.ai detects cheating in real-time with 99.7% accuracy. When a student pastes a ChatGPT response, our system flags it instantly. When virtual camera software activates, we detect it before the exam even begins.
