"Once relied upon only to proofread for correct grammar and spelling, the writing tool Grammarly has added a host of generative AI features over the past several years. In October, CEO Shishir Mehrotra announced that the overall company was rebranding as 'Superhuman' to reflect a new suite of AI-powered products."
"The expanded Grammarly platform now offers an AI solution for every imaginable need-and some you've probably never had. There's an AI chatbot that will answer specific questions as you compose a draft, a 'paraphraser' feature that suggests changes in style, a 'humanizer' that revises according to a selected voice, an AI grader that predicts how your document would score as college coursework."
"Perhaps most insidiously, however, Grammarly now has an 'expert review' option that, instead of producing what looks like a generic critique from a nameless LLM, lists a number of real academics and authors available to weigh in on your text. To be clear: those people have nothing to do with this process."
Grammarly, traditionally a proofreading tool, has evolved into a comprehensive AI-powered writing platform. The parent company rebranded as 'Superhuman' to reflect its expanded AI capabilities. The platform now includes multiple features: an AI chatbot for answering composition questions, a paraphraser for style suggestions, a humanizer for voice-specific revisions, an AI grader for academic scoring, and tools to detect AI-generated language. Most notably, Grammarly offers an 'expert review' feature that lists real academics and authors as sources of critique, despite these individuals having no involvement in the process and no permission being obtained.
