Canary (n.): a conversation starter, never proof.
HelloCanary makes AI-resistant novel units for high school English teachers. Every pack builds visible "canaries" into the assignments: requirements every student can see, like citing your class edition, setting a stop point, or responding to a class discussion. Students who do the reading meet them easily. Pasted chatbot answers tend to miss them.
No hidden white-text traps that can flag students who use screen readers, and no AI-detector scores. Just fair, practical checks and a calm next step when something looks off.
New novel packs are on the way. Follow the shop to hear when they launch, and grab the free AI Essay Canary Checklist at sayhellocanary.com.
I spent years on some of the most complex aerospace projects, where the best answers come from testing and verifying, not guessing. I build every unit the same way. Prevention, not detection.
