Academic Integrity

Built-in integrity.
Not bolted on.

✓ Pisces does
  • ▸Provides hints, pseudocode, and explanations
  • ▸Helps debug your own code
  • ▸Writes complete code for personal projects
  • ▸Solves /leetcode and /project in full
  • ▸Guides you to the answer Socratically
✕ Pisces doesn't
  • ▸Write complete graded assignment solutions
  • ▸Submit or disguise AI work as your own
  • ▸Bypass honour code detection
  • ▸Provide direct answers to exam questions

When Pisces detects a potential integrity issue, it redirects to guided learning mode automatically.
