Grammarly develops an AI-based writing assistant that helps 30 million people every day write more clearly and effectively in English.
How does Grammarly work?
In building a product that scales across multiple platforms and devices—including a web editor, native desktop apps, an iPad app, mobile keyboards, add-ins for Microsoft Office, and browser extensions—Grammarly works to empower users whenever and wherever they communicate.
Underlying all of Grammarly’s product offerings is a sophisticated artificial intelligence system built to analyze sentences written in English. Grammarly’s computational linguists design cutting-edge algorithms that learn the rules and hidden patterns of good writing by analyzing millions of sentences from research corpora.
When a user writes with Grammarly, our AI analyzes each sentence and looks for ways to improve it. Feedback and suggestions are delivered in four categories: correctness (grammar and writing mechanics), clarity (conciseness and readability), engagement (vocabulary and variety), and delivery (formality, politeness, and confidence).
