Superhuman just overhauled its auto-draft feature, tapping frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI to write email replies matching the user's natural tone. The system drafts three response variations and learns from edits; co-founder Rahul Vohra revealed that 60% of drafts during testing were sent completely unedited. Why it matters: email AI might finally stop sounding like a pushy chatbot.
Grammarly's parent company Superhuman just disabled its Expert Review feature after severe backlash and a class action lawsuit. The tool used LLMs to generate writing feedback under the names of famous living and dead authors without their consent. CEO Shishir Mehrotra confirmed the feature is now paused for reassessment.
Grammarly just got caught using the names and identities of journalists and professors to power its AI writing feedback—without asking for permission. The "Expert Review" feature generates comments mimicking specific writers, though tests found broken source links and outdated titles. Why it matters: Packaging real living people into AI personas crosses a clear ethical line, especially when the generated advice contradicts how those editors actually work.
Grammarly just rolled out nine specialized AI agents in its docs writing surface, including a grader bot that predicts paper scores based on course info and instructor data. Other agents handle citation finding, tone adjusting, and plagiarism detection. The plagiarism and AI detector agents are currently limited to Pro users.
Grammarly just rolled out a free feature called Track Your Work to help writers prove their text wasn't generated by AI. Integrated into Grammarly Authorship, it tracks typing activity in real time on new browser-based docs and generates a shareable verification report. Why it matters: it gives students and professionals an easy way to push back against false AI accusations, though it won't work on existing files.
Grammarly just announced plans to acquire AI-native email app Superhuman to turn the inbox into a launching pad for autonomous agents. With email already its top use case, Grammarly wants to combine Superhuman with its recent Coda acquisition to orchestrate multi-agent workflows. Why it matters: Writing assistants are racing to evolve into comprehensive agent platforms.
Grammarly just introduced Authorship, a feature that monitors the writing process in real time to distinguish between human typing, AI generation, and copy-pasted text. Instead of relying on flawed post-hoc detection algorithms, it creates a replayable audit trail to protect students from false accusations. A beta launches in Google Docs next month before expanding to Word and Pages.
Grammarly just announced a new feature called "Personalized voice detection and application" rolling out to business subscribers by year's end. The AI analyzes your day-to-day writing to build a custom voice profile, letting you rewrite any draft in your own distinct tone. Why it matters: it makes AI output feel authentic, but opens up tricky questions about identity and style cloning at work.
DeepL just launched Write, an AI-powered writing companion designed to take on Grammarly. Powered by the same neural networks as its translator, the tool catches typos and punctuation flaws while suggesting alternative phrasing and tone options in English and German. It is completely free without registration, cutting out the messy hack of translating back and forth to polish prose.
