Grammarly Announces AI Agents, Docs Editor

Grammarly is expanding its writing assistant into an AI-native productivity suite, and AI agents will play a key role in this transition. Today, the company announced several new AI agents that provide real-time assistance at every stage of the writing process, as well as a new AI-native document editor called Docs.

“The launch of our new agents and AI writing surface marks a turning point in how we build products that anticipate user needs,” Grammarly vice president Luke Behnke says. “We’re moving beyond simple suggestions to intelligent agents that understand context and actively help users achieve their communication goals. This is just the beginning as we develop Grammarly’s new platform that will soon offer agents working seamlessly across all the places students and professionals write and collaborate.”

Grammarly has been using AI to help customers write for several years, but it’s dramatically expanding its offerings through a financing round that raised $1 billion and two recent acquisitions–Coda and Superhuman–with the aim of creating an AI-native productivity suite. Today’s announcement is described as the first phase of a redesigned Grammarly that’s built on agentic AI and provides agents wherever users work.

Docs is a new AI-powered document editor, though it’s web-only and looks a lot like the previous Grammarly editor to me. The big additions here are an AI chat interface and integration with Grammarly’s new AI agents. Like the previous editor, it’s available to free and paid Grammarly customers.

The AI agents are available in Docs and are perhaps more interesting. They are:

AI Grader. This agent helps you revise your writing using a score-based system that should be particularly interesting to students.

Citation Finder. This agent fact-checks claims in your writing, recommends credible sources, and formats citations instantly.

Expert Review. With this agent, you can make your writing more precise, impactful, and authoritative, Grammarly says, with feedback matched to academic and professional needs.

Reader Reactions. This agent anticipates how readers will react to your writing using a list of preselected audiences and custom audiences you configure.

Humanizer. This agent ensures that your AI-assisted writing is more natural and engaging.

Proofreader. This one helps you refine grammar, clarity, structure, and more as you write.

Paraphraser. This agent adapts your writing for audience, tone, and writing style.

AI Detector. This will check your writing for AI-generated content.

Plagiarism Checker. This agent scans your writing, looking for similarities in other work and generating citations as needed.

Like Docs, the new agents are available to free and paid Grammarly customers–though AI Detector and Plagiarism Checker are Pro-only for now–and each is coming to Grammarly Education and Enterprise customers later this year. Grammarly says that its agents will also roll out across all 500,000+ websites and apps where customers access Grammarly over time.
