Grammarly has announced eight new AI agents that offer assistance with specific writing tasks. These agents are available in docs , the new native interface based on the one developed by Coda, a startup acquired in late 2024.

New AI agents for students and professionals

Grammarly is a writing assistant software available (in English only) on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), mobile (Android, iOS), web, and browsers (extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari). For several years, it has been leveraging generative artificial intelligence. Free and Pro users can now use eight new AI agents at no additional cost.

The San Francisco company explains that they are suitable for students and professionals. They help solve various challenges, such as correctly formatting citations or improving communications. They are, of course, context-aware, so they perform actions on the user's behalf based on the content. Here's the full list:

• Reader Reactions predicts key points, open-ended questions, and potential confusion based on the target reader (professor, manager, client, or others), providing feedback to adjust your writing.
• AI Grader provides feedback based on uploaded rubrics, course information, writing topics, and publicly available instructor information to provide personalized recommendations.
• Citation Finder provides evidence that supports, disputes, or refutes claims in your text and automatically generates properly formatted citations.
• Expert Review offers specialized expertise and personalized topic feedback to improve your writing that meets rigorous academic or professional standards.
• Proofreader offers suggestions for improving clarity and provides personalized feedback based on your writing style and audience.
• AI Detector analyzes text and indicates whether it was generated by artificial intelligence or a human.
• Plagiarism Checker analyzes texts against vast databases, academic articles, websites, and published works to identify unintentional similarities and ensure the work is original.
• Paraphraser adapts writing to the desired tone, audience, and style, evaluates current tone and style, and allows users to create a custom voice.

As mentioned, AI agents are available in docs , the new "writing surface" for drafting, editing, and refining documents. Grammarly has also integrated the AI Chat assistant into docs, which provides suggestions and generates summaries.
