Typing assistant Grammarly has jumped on the artificial intelligence bandwagon with a new generative AI-powered assistant.
Rolling out in beta form next month, GrammarlyGO will do more than just point out your grammar mistakes. It'll learn your writing style and basically write your content for you.
Grammarly argues the feature is a way to stop bad writing from "draining business productivity and performance." It promises to generate "highly relevant text with an understanding of personal voice and brand style, context, and intent—saving people and businesses time while accounting for their unique needs." Translation: Let us handle your terrible copy.
GrammarlyGO launches in April and will work with the same email, social media, and word-processing applications and websites as Grammarly to compose tailored drafts, reply to messages, rewrite for length, and generate ideas.
"It will uniquely offer relevant, contextually aware suggestions that account for personal voice and brand style while staying true to our augmented intelligence philosophy to keep customers in control of their experience," says Rahul Roy-Chowdhury, global head of product for Grammarly.
"GrammarlyGO will enable customers to save time, enhance their creativity, and get more done—helping individuals achieve their potential and enterprises transform how they work," he adds.
Available across the free (in select markets) and paid professional, education, and developer tiers, GrammarlyGO is on by default for individual users, who can toggle it off in their settings. Business and education administrators, meanwhile, must opt in for their organizations.
Generative AI has made quite the splash since the launch of ChatGPT last fall, and the tech industry is scrambling to introduce their own AI-based tools. One industry that doesn't love it: education. Teachers must now determine if some of the work being turned in by students was actually produced by AI, prompting some schools to ban ChatGPT from their networks.
