- Grammarly has presented a collection of specialized AI tools to help students
- AI agents can simulate classification, find quotes and predict reader’s reactions
- The tools are part of the new Docs Grammarly platform
Grammarly seeks to assume a more active role to help students write with a new set of AI agents that go far beyond making sure to use semi -collons correctly. The company has launched a set of eight agents built for a specific writing support, integrating them directly into a new writing platform called Docs (not Google Kind).
The new features combine AI skills with quieter digital assistance. You do not need to write a notice requesting specific help, simply touch the correct tool, and Grammarly’s AI will help find sources, predict how a teacher will react to his word game and make sure that he does not sound like an AI (Rip Em-Dash).
Grammarly has increased its services with AI for a while, including rewriting tools and an AI chatbot last year. The new agents go beyond that reactive approach using the context of their writing and the reason why they are writing it to offer advice without having to explain it explicitly.
Grammarly is launching new tools both students and professionals, but academic demand seems particularly serious. Currently, students are divided between doing whatever is necessary to acadeately succeed and compromise that success with the unusual use of AI that prevents real learning.
Grammarly’s commitment is that students who do not want to fool themselves with AI can use these tools to help them learn, not do so for them. They could use the AI classifier to obtain comments that imitate the evaluation of a real instructor using specific materials and details of what the teacher is looking for. The appointment search agent can verify their sources and help him find better, format them correctly too. In addition, expert review agent can offer specific domain comments on writing in fields such as law and medicine, measuring arguments against professional standards.
And if perhaps inadvertently it is closely with a source, the plagiarism verifier will help mark the involuntary copy made when it is late. And the AI detector verifies to ensure that his fatigue has not caused his writing to seem generated.
Learning for a world of AI
The tools can help students succeed in the long term, according to Grammarly, teaching them how to investigate and write well without compromising ethics, despite the fact that AI tools and shortcuts are everywhere.
According to the internal research of the company, only 18% of university students feel “very prepared” to use the AI professionally after graduation, despite the demand for literacy of AI among employers. Grammarly wants to become the training field for those skills without undermining academic integrity along the way. You can access all these tools on the new Docs of Grammarly platform, as well as free and paid subscriber.
Of course, Grammarly is not the only player who pursues this idea. Microsoft Copilot in Word offers some similar characteristics to Grammarly, as well as Google’s GEMINI on Google Docs. But Grammarly’s approach is more complete and simplified due to its focus on preventing an AI writing everything for the user. That is what could make this update adhere.
Because although Grammarly could have been another AI writing tool, he made his support of the step back. As imperfect as all the tools of AI are, at least this approach tries to address the very real crisis of people who have no idea how to use writing assistants ethically, if they even wish.
