Grammarly now has a new document-based interface, built on the back of Coda, the productivity startup it acquired last year<\/a>. The interface also sports an AI assistant, as well as a few AI tools meant for students and professionals, including an AI grader, proofreader, and citation finder.<\/p>\n

The new interface adopts a block-first approach, letting you insert tables, columns, separators, lists, and headers. You also can add rich text blocks to highlight information and add tips or alerts.<\/p>\n

A sidebar hosts the AI assistant, which can summarize text, answer your questions, and provide writing suggestions.<\/p>\n

There are a bunch of AI tools, too: \u201cReader Reactions\u201d lets you to pick a reader persona and get feedback on your writing based on that persona; \u201cGrader\u201d can provide feedback based on an instructor\u2019s guidelines and publicly available course material; \u201cCitation Finder,\u201d like it says on the tin, can help you find and generate citations from public materials; and \u201cParaphraser\u201d can modify a text\u2019s tone according to your preferences.<\/p>\n

Grammarly\u2019s also added agents that can detect plagiarism or AI-generated content. <\/p>\n

Luke Behnke, VP of enterprise product at Grammarly, admitted to TechCrunch that agents made to detect AI-generated content can be hit or miss, but he claimed that the company has tuned its agent to be the most accurate in the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal here is not to provide an enforcement mechanism for teachers. If teachers want to enforce policies, they should use our authorship tool. But this [AI detector tool] is about providing a window to students into what could be AI-generated text in their writing before they submit,\u201d he told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

Taken as a whole, Grammarly now has tools that can help students write using AI, and also detect AI-generated writing. So how is it striking a balance between those foci, which one could argue are at opposite ends of the spectrum? Well, the company says it has \u201ca\u00a0moral\u00a0imperative\u201d to teach students how to use AI and make them ready for the workforce.<\/p>\n

Like many other companies these days, Grammarly wants to build and integrate more AI agents in its products \u2014 the company essentially said as much when it announced the acquisition of email client Superhuman last month<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In May, Grammarly raised $1 billion from General Catalyst to make acquisitions and bolster its sales and marketing efforts<\/a>.<\/p>\n
