Grammarly introduces 9 AI agents to enhance writing for students and professionals

Grammarly has expanded its capabilities beyond traditional grammar and spell-check with the introduction of nine AI-powered agents. These agents are designed to assist students and professionals in refining their writing without the need for complex prompts, offering real-time guidance in Grammarly Docs, a new AI-first writing platform.

Key AI Agents and Their Functions

• Reader Reactions: Predicts audience response and suggests improvements.
• Paraphraser: Rewrites text in various tones (academic, professional, casual).
• AI Grader: Provides rubric-based feedback and estimated grades for assignments.
• Expert Review: Offers subject-specific insights to strengthen content.
• Citation Finder: Helps locate sources and generates proper citations.
• Proofreader: Checks structure, clarity, and readability.
• AI Detector: Flags AI- or human-written text.
• Plagiarism Checker: Scans for copied content and missing references.

AI Support for Education and Workplace

Grammarly addresses the growing need for AI literacy among students and professionals. A company survey revealed that while only 18% of students feel prepared to use AI in their careers, 66% of employers expect AI proficiency. The new agents aim to bridge this gap by promoting academic integrity and workplace efficiency.

For example, students can use Citation Finder for research, Proofreader for polishing drafts, and AI Grader for final evaluations. Professionals can leverage Reader Reactions to tailor communications and Expert Review to validate accuracy.

Availability and Future Plans

The AI agents are now available in Grammarly Free and Grammarly Pro, with AI Detector and Plagiarism Checker limited to Pro users. Enterprise and Education customers will gain access later this year. While currently confined to Grammarly Docs, the company plans to extend these tools to the 500,000+ apps and sites where Grammarly already operates.
