Grammarly Launches Specialized AI Agents and Writing Surface for Students and Professionals

Grammarly has launched eight specialized AI agents designed to transform its writing platform into a more comprehensive productivity tool aimed at both students and professionals. These agents are integrated into “Grammarly Docs,” an AI-native writing surface that provides real-time, context-aware assistance at every stage of the writing process.

The eight AI agents offer targeted help for a variety of specific writing challenges:

• Reader Reactions: Predicts how a target audience (professors, managers, clients) might respond, question, or misunderstand the text, suggesting edits accordingly.
• AI Grader: Provides rubric-based feedback and estimates grades for academic assignments before submission.
• Citation Finder: Assists in finding credible sources, supports or challenges claims, and auto-formats citations.
• Expert Review: Offers domain-specific guidance to raise academic or professional quality.
• Proofreader: Improves clarity and flow with in-line edits while maintaining the writer’s voice.
• AI Detector: Scores text on whether it appears AI- or human-written to check authenticity.
• Plagiarism Checker: Compares writing against large databases to detect overlaps and ensure proper attribution.
• Paraphraser: Rewrites text to match desired tones, audiences, and styles, supporting custom voice.

These AI agents eliminate the need for complicated prompts by providing focused, intelligent support tailored to the user’s writing goals while preserving authorship and style. The rollout marks the beginning of Grammarly’s evolution into an AI-driven productivity platform, with plans for these agents to function seamlessly across all places where users write and collaborate.

Grammarly CEO Shishir Mehrotra emphasized the focus on enhancing learning and AI literacy, especially for students entering a job market demanding both subject expertise and AI fluency. The AI grader, for example, can simulate professor-like feedback, allowing students to improve papers before submission.

This launch makes Grammarly one of the few AI companies with a strong dedication to educational writing tools alongside professional uses. The company’s VP of Product Management, Luke Behnke, highlighted the shift from simple grammar suggestions to intelligent agents that actively help users achieve communication goals.
