Automattic’s acquisition of Harper, a new grammar tool competing with Grammarly, is focused on enhancing privacy and catering specifically to developers through local processing.
The plan is to seamlessly integrate Harper's language checking capabilities into various Automattic products like WordPress.com, WooCommerce, and Jetpack.
With processing speeds under 20 milliseconds, Harper's performance outpaces that of a well-known grammar tool, demonstrating Automattic's commitment to innovation and efficiency.
The acquisition occurs amidst tensions in the WordPress community, particularly surrounding Automattic's disputes with WP Engine, highlighting ongoing challenges in the open-source space.
