Grammarly Inc., a software company known for writing assistants, is expanding its offerings for artificial intelligence in the workplace.
In June, the company plans to roll out new features for its enterprise service, Grammarly Business, including business-specific terminology and knowledge for an AI-powered communication assistant called GrammarlyGo. The company laid out its roadmap for the AI-connected workplace at Tuesday’s event. Ultimately, it will include the ability to summarize key points in long email strings, identify if information has already been shared within the organization, and compose a reply. Grammarly also aims to connect to other popular office applications such as Slack and Gmail, identify employee priority tasks, and compose replies to colleagues in various messaging apps.
Grammarly CEO Rahul Roy Chowdhury said at the event, “For more than a decade, we’ve been helping users communicate more effectively with AI, but now we’re going beyond words. It’s time to make it happen,” he said.
The move is part of San Francisco-based Grammarly’s effort to ride the generative AI wave and pivot from grammar and spell checkers to enterprise communication and workflow tools. Generative AI uses vast amounts of data to generate text and images in response to your prompts. Grammarly’s software will face stiff competition from tech giants such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Microsoft
Roy-Chowdhury, who took over as CEO on May 1 after serving as product lead, joined Grammarly after 14 years at Google working on products such as the Chrome browser. He said Grammarly Business will help customers connect all the fragmented apps they use for recruiting, HR software, messaging and email.
“If companies want to truly reap the benefits of generative AI, they need to integrate generative AI into every application that their employees use,” he said. “Especially when people write across different platforms and applications, staying in place allows for continuous learning and workflow automation that ultimately saves time and encourages creativity. can.”
Google and Microsoft have already announced similar services. In March, Google announced it would integrate generative AI tools into its suite of workspaces including Gmail, Docs, Slides and Sheets. Microsoft also introduced an AI assistant called Dynamics 365 Copilot for applications that handle tasks like sales, marketing, and customer service. Based on OpenAI’s technology, the software can create contextual chat and email responses to customer service questions, allowing marketers to come up with targeted customer categories and create products for e-commerce.

With 30 million daily active users, Grammarly recently launched GrammarlyGO, a generative AI feature that allows users to brainstorm ideas and create, edit, and personalize text. Using Microsoft Azure technology, Grammarly’s models review their output for bias, and their tools make it ‘persuasive’, ‘strengthen’ and ‘sound confident’. You can fine-tune the style for your users by clicking the Prompts tab.
Roy-Chowdhury said generative AI technology is changing rapidly. “It’s nice to see how it evolves. We’re always finding the best technical solutions to help our users,” he said.
