Grammarly, one of the commonly used tools by writers to check for grammar, has recently revealed a set of eight specialised AI agents which has been designed to handle specific writing challenges. These agents are part of the company’s new AI-native platform, Docs, which enables users to write, edit and get targeted assistance within a single interface. While Docs will be free for all users, the advanced AI agents will be exclusive to Grammarly’s paid plans.
Why Grammarly introduced AI Agents
The company explained that existing AI writing tools often require users to spend extra time crafting the right prompts and refining outputs. To solve this, Grammarly built agents with specific functionalities, making it easier for students, professionals, and content creators to improve their writing without multiple iterations.
