Grammarly is rolling out a powerful collection of AI agents designed to transform the writing process for both students and educators. These AI-powered tools offer assistance with a wide range of tasks, from predicting paper grades and crafting accurate citations to identifying plagiarism and AI-generated content.

These specialized agents are seamlessly integrated into Grammarly Docs, Grammarly’s dedicated AI writing environment, and are immediately accessible to both Grammarly Free and Pro subscribers at no additional cost. According to Jenny Maxwell, Head of Grammarly for Education, the goal is to provide students with AI tools that augment their abilities without compromising their learning experience.

Among the key features is the AI Grader, which leverages course information and publicly available instructor data to provide personalized feedback and a predicted grade for student papers. This enables students to proactively refine their work before submission. Other agents include those focused on assessing reader reaction, meticulous proofreading, and intelligent paraphrasing.

To streamline attribution and source management, Grammarly offers a citation finder agent that automatically generates citations in the correct format, as well as an expert review agent for tailored, subject-matter feedback.

For educators, Grammarly has introduced agents capable of scanning academic papers, websites, and published content for potential plagiarism, along with an AI detector that assigns a score reflecting the probability of human versus AI authorship. The plagiarism and AI detection agents are initially available to Grammarly Pro users.

Grammarly intends to expand the availability of these AI agents to Enterprise and Education users later in the year, along with unveiling new agents in the future.
