Grammarly announced it will launch eight specialized AI agents that provide targeted assistance for specific writing challenges—from finding credible sources and checking originality to predicting reader reactions and evaluating work against rubrics.

The agents are rolling out in docs, Grammarly’s new AI-native writing surface that brings intelligent assistance directly into the writing process, whether helping students develop their academic work with proper research and structured feedback or assisting professionals in polishing their communications for impact and clarity. These capabilities mark the first phase of a redesigned Grammarly built on agentic AI that will transform the platform to deliver agents wherever users work.

“The launch of our new agents and AI writing surface marks a turning point in how we build products that anticipate user needs,” said Luke Behnke, Grammarly’s VP of Product Management. “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.”

Context-aware support to replace prompt engineering

Students must navigate how to use AI thoughtfully in their coursework while ensuring they’re building genuine skills and understanding. They spend hours finding credible sources, formatting citations correctly, and wondering whether their work meets academic standards. Professionals face communication overload, where the pressure to use AI for efficiency often results in losing the authentic voice and credibility they’ve built throughout their careers.

Current AI tools offer one-size-fits-all solutions that don’t address these research and writing needs, requiring users to formulate the right prompts and iterate through multiple attempts to achieve their goals.

Instead, Grammarly’s new agents address these challenges by providing expert assistance that understands context. When activated, they take immediate action, eliminating the guesswork of crafting the right prompts. Users remain in control of their work while receiving intelligent support tailored to their goals.

Zoom in on the agents:

• Reader Reactions agent predicts key takeaways, open questions, and potential confusion based on a target reader—whether that’s a professor, manager, or client—and provides feedback to adjust writing based on the reader.
• AI Grader agent provides substantive feedback aligned to uploaded rubrics, course information, writing topics, and publicly available instructor information to deliver tailored recommendations and estimated grades before submission.
• Citation Finder agent delivers relevant evidence that supports, disputes, or refutes claims in a piece of writing and automatically generates correctly formatted citations.
• Expert Review agent offers subject-matter expertise and personalized, topic-specific feedback to elevate writing that meets rigorous academic or professional standards tailored to the user’s field.
• Proofreader agent is a personal writing partner, offering in-line suggestions for improved clarity and confidence while providing feedback tailored to the user’s writing style and audience.
• AI Detector agent scans text to provide a score of whether the text was likely AI- or human-generated to support users in delivering their most authentic work.
• Plagiarism Checker agent scans writing against vast databases, academic papers, websites, and published works to identify unintentional similarities and ensure work is original and proper citations are included.

• Paraphraser agent adapts writing to fit an intended tone, audience, and style—whether more academic, professional, or creative—evaluates current tone and style, and allows users to create a custom voice.

The new Grammarly experience will also include:

• docs: A dedicated AI writing surface in which users can draft, edit, and perfect their documents.
• AI Chat: An integrated assistant that helps with brainstorming, summarizing, and generating suggestions to advance writing projects, available within docs.
