Grammarly Launches Specialized AI Agents and Writing Surface for Writers
Grammarly, a trusted AI assistant for communication and productivity, has introduced eight specialized AI agents aimed at addressing distinct writing challenges. These agents offer targeted help, such as finding credible sources, checking originality, predicting reader reactions, and evaluating work against rubrics.
These new capabilities are integrated into docs, Grammarly’s AI-native writing surface that supports users directly in their writing process. Whether you’re a student working on academic papers or a professional polishing communications, these tools provide intelligent assistance that fits your specific needs.
How This Changes Writing Assistance
Grammarly moves beyond generic suggestions to intelligent agents that understand the context of your writing. Instead of spending time crafting prompts and iterating through responses, these agents take immediate action based on your goals, keeping you in control while reducing guesswork.
Meet the New AI Agents
- Reader Reactions agent: Predicts key takeaways, questions, and confusion points for a target reader like a professor or manager, helping you adjust your writing accordingly.
- AI Grader agent: Provides feedback aligned with uploaded rubrics and course info, estimating grades before submission.
- Citation Finder agent: Finds evidence supporting or disputing claims and generates correctly formatted citations automatically.
- Expert Review agent: Offers specialized feedback based on your field, ensuring your writing meets academic or professional standards.
- Proofreader agent: Acts as a personal partner, giving inline suggestions to improve clarity and confidence, tailored to your style and audience.
- AI Detector agent: Scores text on whether it’s likely AI- or human-generated to help maintain authenticity.
- Plagiarism Checker agent: Scans against vast databases and publications to identify unintentional similarities and ensure originality.
- Paraphraser agent: Adapts your writing’s tone, style, and audience fit, allowing you to create a custom voice.
Additional Features in the New Grammarly Experience
- docs: A dedicated AI writing surface where you can draft, edit, and refine documents with AI support.
- AI Chat: An integrated assistant within docs that helps brainstorm, summarize, and generate suggestions.
Supporting Students with AI Literacy and Career Readiness
Students face the challenge of using AI responsibly while developing genuine skills. Grammarly’s agents help students by guiding them to produce better work and understand responsible AI use. This support maintains academic integrity and builds real-world skills employers expect.
For instance, a business student writing a market analysis can draft their work, then use the Citation Finder to check claims and add proper citations. They can then activate the Proofreader for clarity suggestions and the AI Grader to evaluate the work against course rubrics. This step-by-step assistance builds confidence and AI literacy simultaneously.
Intelligent Writing Partners for Professionals
Many professionals view AI as an opportunity to enhance their work. Grammarly’s agents can handle routine tasks while preserving your unique voice and creativity. A marketing director, for example, can draft a product announcement and use Reader Reactions to anticipate how different audiences will respond. The Expert Review agent can then ensure the message aligns with best practices and industry trends.
These agents are currently available in Grammarly Free and Grammarly Pro, with plans to extend them to Grammarly Enterprise and Grammarly for Education later this year.
For writers interested in improving skills with AI tools, exploring relevant AI courses for writing professionals can be a practical next step.
