Grammarly has a new document-based interface built behind CODA, a productivity startup that we acquired last year. The interface also includes AI assistants and several AI tools for students and professionals, such as AI graders, proofreaders and quote finders.
The new interface can adopt a block-first approach to insert tables, columns, separators, lists, and headers. You can also add rich text blocks to highlight information, add hints, and add alerts.
The sidebar hosts the AI assistant. AI assistants can summarise texts, answer questions and provide writing suggestions.

There are also many AI tools. Reader Reactions allows you to select a reader's persona and get feedback about the text based on that persona. “Grader” can provide feedback based on instructor guidelines and available course materials. “Citation Finder” helps you find and generate quotations from public materials, as written in Tin. “Paraphraser” allows you to change the tone of the text according to your preference.
Additional Grammarly agents have also added agents that can detect plagiarism and AI-generated content.

Luke Behnke, vice president of Grammarly's enterprise products, admitted to TechCrunch that agents created to detect AI-generated content can hit or miss, but the company claimed that the agent has adjusted it to be the most accurate on the market.
“The goal here is not to provide teachers with an enforcement mechanism; if teachers want to enforce policies, they should use the author's tools. [AI detector tool] “To provide a window into what could become text generated during writing before submitting to students,” he told TechCrunch.

Overall, Grammarly currently has tools that allow students to write using AI and help them detect sentences that have been generated. So how do we surprise the balance of focus that we can claim to be on the other side of the spectrum? Well, the company says it has a “moral obligation” to teach students how to use AI.
Like many other companies these days, Grammarly wants to build and integrate more AI agents into its products. This was essentially spoken last month when it announced its superhuman acquisition of an email client.
In May, Grammarly raised $1 billion from General Catalyst, making an acquisition, and strengthened its sales and marketing efforts.
