Grammarly Adds Nine AI Agents for Students and Educators

Grammarly announced a set of nine specialized AI agents today, launching inside its new Docs writing surface and available at no extra cost to Grammarly Free and Pro users. The feature pack targets student workflows and educator needs, delivering everything from a grade-predicting agent to citation and plagiarism tools.

What Grammarly launched

• AI grader: predicts a likely score and offers tailored recommendations using uploaded course details and publicly available instructor info.
• Reader reactions: forecasts what questions or reactions readers may have after reading a paper.
• Proofreader: inline suggestions to tighten grammar and clarity.
• Paraphrase agent: rewrites text to match tone, audience, or style requirements.
• Citation finder: automatically generates correctly formatted citations to back claims.
• Expert review: provides personalized, topic-specific feedback from an AI perspective.
• Plagiarism checker (Pro): scans databases, papers and the web to flag similarities.
• AI detector (Pro): returns a score estimating the likelihood text was written by AI.

Most of the tools are oriented to help students iterate before submission — proofreading, paraphrasing, finding sources and anticipating reader questions. The grader stands out because it attempts to align feedback with course expectations and an estimated grade using instructor-related information made public or uploaded by the user.

Access and limitations

Grammarly is making the agents available to Free and Pro users inside Docs, but the plagiarism and AI-detection agents are limited to Pro at launch. The company also said Enterprise and Education customers will get these agents and additional tools later in the year.

Why this matters

For students, these agents can speed revision cycles and surface weaknesses earlier. For educators, the tools introduce new options — from targeted feedback to automated checks — that could change grading workflows. But they also raise questions about fairness, accuracy and academic integrity: how reliable is a predicted grade, and how should instructors use AI-detection scores?

Practical steps for institutions

• Pilot the grader on a sample of past assignments to compare predictions against real grades.
• Use detectors and plagiarism tools as one input among many, not as sole evidence of misconduct.
• Develop clear AI literacy modules so students learn to use agents as assistants, not shortcuts.

Grammarly frames these agents as partners that help students build skills. Their rollout marks another step toward AI-native writing tools in education, but responsible adoption will depend on measurement, policy and instructor involvement — not just the technology itself.

At QuarkyByte we analyze tool performance, evaluate bias and help institutions design pilots that balance usefulness with academic standards. Whether you need a validation plan for grade predictions, integration advice for LMS workflows, or governance frameworks for AI use in classrooms, pragmatic measurement and policy design should lead any rollout.
