Your favorite Grammarly has an exciting update. Known worldwide for fixing grammar, spelling, tone, and more, it is now evolving into something beyond just Grammarly. It has become a comprehensive AI-powered productivity suite, meaning a smart helper for all your writing and communication needs. According to Grammarly’s website, their tool is trusted by 40 million people, 50,000 organizations, and users at 96% of the Fortune 500, to date. With such a large customer base and the world advancing towards AI, Grammarly had to make this key move. So, what is the big deal with this new update? Let’s find out.
What’s Happening?
Grammarly, on August 18, 2025, launched eight specialized AI features in the tool. The news came out after Shishir Mehrotra, CEO of Grammarly, announced it on his LinkedIn. He explained that these features are added with students in mind, who are about to enter the job market. Their goal is to help students feel more confident in their writing and communication.
He wrote, “We created many of these agents with students in mind because they’re the first generation entering a job market where employers expect both subject expertise AND AI fluency…”
And Grammarly’s VP of Product Management, Luke Behnke, talking about the launch, said, “The launch of our new agents and AI writing surface marks a turning point in how we build products that anticipate user needs. 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.”
What Are These 8 AI Agents?
All eight intelligent assistants help with specific tasks on their own. Here they are:
- AI Grader – This feature gives you the score for your writing and also helps you improve it overall.
- Citation Finder – This feature checks if the claims in your writing are valid, cites credible sources, and provides legitimate references.
- Expert Review – This feature offers professional-level (detailed and factual) feedback to make your writing sound more precise, confident, and authoritative.
- Reader Reactions – This feature is designed to respond as typical readers would (you’ll need to select the audience type first for more accurate predictions).
- Proofreader – This feature consistently improves your writing by fixing grammar and suggesting clarity improvements while you write.
- Paraphraser – This feature is capable of rewriting the text in several tones and styles for different audiences.
- AI Detector – This feature scans the text to identify AI writing patterns (Pro-only feature at the moment, requiring a subscription upgrade).
- Plagiarism Checker – This scans multiple online sources to see if any text matches other published material, which helps avoid any embarrassment or copyright issues. It’s also a Pro-only feature.
Additionally…
Additionally, a new document editor called Docs is launching, powered by Coda (which Grammarly acquired in early 2025). It resembles the previous version but now includes:
- AI Chat: This feature allows you to talk while writing on the go.
- Plus, it integrates with these eight new AI agents.
Who Can Access the New Features?
- Docs and eight new AI agents are available for both free (with some features limited) and Pro Grammarly users.
- AI Detector + Plagiarism Checker is exclusive to Pro users.
