Overview

• The Docs interface, rebuilt on technology from its Coda acquisition, introduces eight specialized agents for tasks including AI grading, citation discovery, paraphrasing, proofreading, reader reactions and expert feedback.
• The AI Grader agent leverages course details and public instructor information to estimate paper grades, while Citation Finder automatically sources and formats supporting references.
• Six agents are accessible at no extra cost to Free and Pro users, but the Plagiarism Checker and AI Detector—scanning vast academic databases and scoring authorship likelihood—are reserved for Pro subscribers.
• Grammarly admits that AI-authorship detection is technically imperfect despite claims of market-leading accuracy and positions its agents as educational guides to address concerns over AI’s impact on student critical thinking.
• Backed by a recent $1 billion funding round and its Coda and Superhuman acquisitions, the move marks Grammarly’s strategic pivot toward agent-driven workflows with enterprise and education rollouts slated for later this year.
