Nine AI agents for writing and grading assistance are launching today for Grammarly Free and Pro users.Aug 18, 2025, 1:00 PM UTCJess Weatherbed is a news writer focused on creative industries, computing, and internet culture. Jess started her career at TechRadar, covering news and hardware reviews.Grammarly is launching several new AI agents for specific writing challenges, from educators trying to detect plagiarism and AI-generated text to students looking to gauge reader reaction to their paper, needing help with citations, and even seeing their predicted grade. The specialized AI agents are available in docs — which is Grammarly’s new “AI-native writing surface,” according to the company’s press release — at no extra cost for Grammarly Free and Pro users.“Students today need AI that enhances their capabilities without undermining their learning,” said Jenny Maxwell, Head of Grammarly for Education. “Grammarly’s new agents fill this gap, acting as real partners that guide students to produce better work while ensuring they develop real skills that will serve them throughout their careers. By teaching students how to work effectively with AI now, we’re preparing them for a workplace where AI literacy will be essential.”One of the most notable tools is the AI grader agent, which Grammarly says can provide feedback based on uploaded course details and “publicly available” information about the instructor. The bot can give tailored writing recommendations and estimate what grade the paper will receive in its current state, helping students make improvements prior to submission.Students can use other Grammarly AI agents to improve their writing, including the reader reactions agent that predicts what questions readers may have after reading the paper, the proofreader agent that provides in-line writing suggestions, and the paraphrase agent that adjusts writing to suit specific tones, audiences, and styles. For help with attribution and sourcing, Grammarly is releasing a citation finder agent that automatically generates correctly formatted citations backing up claims in a piece of writing, and an expert review agent that provides personalized, topic-specific feedback.While these tools are primarily focused at helping students to write papers, Grammarly is also releasing two tools that can help educators review them. Grammarly says its plagiarism checker agent can scan “vast databases, academic papers, websites, and published works” to detect any similarities with writing submissions. An AI detector agent is also available that provides a score to indicate the likelihood of the text being written by a human or AI-generated.The AI and plagiarism detector agents are only available to Grammarly Pro users at launch. Grammarly says it will bring all of the AI agents it’s launching today to Enterprise and Education users “later this year,” alongside new agents that will be announced at a future date.Most Popular
