Grammarly/Coda Agents released

When you go to Grammarly Docs (app.grammarly.com)
you can create and edit docs that are very similar to Coda docs.

There are no functional tables or formulas (yet).

But you can use grids, coda rich text blocks, lists, and headings.
And you can embed images, applets, and even published Coda docs, which is VERY powerful!

This is a surface that begins to integrate the features of Grammarly and Coda together.
And now there is a growing collection of AI Agents as well!

I look forward with great anticipation to see where this journey leads us.

PS: its such a pity that this Coda Makers Forum was not informed about this announcement.
It was instead spotted on Twitter by @Doug_Loud (thanks for the alert).

So far the following AI Agents have been released for Grammarly Docs…

AI Chat: Lets you ask questions, conduct research, rewrite content, generate ideas, or refine messaging instantly using conversational AI embedded into the document surface.

Grammarly Proofreader: Delivers real-time suggestions to improve grammar, clarity, tone, word choice, and overall correctness as you write.

Paraphraser: Rewrites your content in a variety of relevant and engaging tones while preserving original meaning.

Expert Review: Provides personalized, in-depth feedback from relevant subject matter experts to enhance argumentation strength, structure, and credibility.

Reader Reactions: Predicts how your selected audience is likely to interpret your content, surfacing potential key takeaways and remaining questions they may ask.

Humanizer: Transforms your AI writing to sound natural, genuine, and human. It removes robotic phrasing and keeps your voice authentic for emails, proposals, or blog posts.

Citation Finder: Examines the quality and substance of arguments in a piece of writing and identifies publicly available sources that support, conflict with, or contradict the points being made in the writing, with easy-to-find links and pre-formatted citations in APA, MLA, and other common styles.

AI Detector: Identifies sections of text that may have been generated by AI, helping maintain transparency and integrity in your writing.

Plagiarism Checker: Checks your content against academic, web, and professional sources to ensure originality and proper attribution.

AI Grader: Evaluates writing quality based on predefined inputs based on an instructor and/or rubric—offering a sample “pregrade” and actionable tips for improvement.

It was the AI Grader agent that @shishir demonstrated in the X-Twitter post.

for completeness, here are the features you can use in Grammarly Docs…

This editor options pop-up will be very familiar

And the ability to create grids with colored backgrounds is there also..

And the slash command contains most but not all the features we use in Coda

I do hope that over time more of the features of Coda will be supported here, especially Tables and Formulas.

Right now only Grammarly can build AI Agents, but I speculate that in the future there will be the same ability we have via Coda Packs to build Grammarly AI Agents and market them?

Pure speculation on my part - but it would be a great opportunity for Coda Makers and Pack Builders in the future.

Personally, seeing the product evolving I know that slowly, what we know currently as Coda will reside fully in Grammarly as that is where the user base is and will be. I wouldn’t be surprised if a re-branding for Grammarly will happen as the new powers will tend to push in that directions as it will not be and it isn’t anymore just a grammar checker.

I think that over the next 2 years Coda will be fully ingested.

[Bill_French2]

These are features, not really agents, eh?

[Agile_Dynamics]

yes. the word “agent" has been so overloaded by marketing hype, that it is rapidly loosing its meaning.

just stamp the term “agent” on anything that has any hint of AI-ishness about it and boom!

putting lipstick on the pig the day of the market.

@Agile_Dynamics

rapidly loosing its meaning.

I don’t think this ‘agentic’ announcement will age well. What will they call the next thing that actually works like an agent? Agent+? Multi-step Agent?

[Piet_Strydom]

I was thinking the same thing.

I wonder what the transition will look like. I have a huge knowledge hub that I built for accounting in our company, do not want to see that stranded…

I assume it won’t be, but the uncertainty has reared its head….

[Doug_Loud]

Yes, very interesting. As I have noted to some others, it may be that Coda items will start to appear in Grammarly the way tables are appearing in Softr. Corporate doesn’t care which product you buy or what it’s called as long as it’s one of theirs.

Thank you very much, @Agile_Dynamics , for going to the trouble of sharing your findings on the new Grammarly “Agents” with the community. I greatly appreciate you making sure that this news reaches everyone.

On that note, I fully second your sentiment:

@Agile_Dynamics

its such a pity that this Coda Makers Forum was not informed about this announcement.

Looping in @Emma_Wyatt and @Hector_Reyes , as heads of partnership to this thead. Any way we can make sure that the Coda Makers forum will receive a heads-up for new feature releases?

Thanks, Nina

It is a major source of frustration to me that Coda makes a hash of communication EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. they make an announcement.

For some or other reason @shishir seems to shun the use of communication professionals when communicating.

It is always up to the people in this community to interpret the message, and put a positive spin on it. It happened with this announcement, it happened when Coda went communication silent after the merger, it happened when the merger was announced, it happened with the change in maker licencing, AI and AI pricing, etc, etc, etc.

I would hate to see the naysayers proven right. Enshittification is real, I just hope we do not see that for Coda.

[Emma_Wyatt]

Thanks, Max, Doug, and everyone else!

The Grammarly team is incredibly excited about this launch. It is our first launch at bridging the Grammarly and Coda products together.

I hear the feedback that we should have looped you in, and you’re right. We have more changes coming, and I’ve taken it as an action item to ensure we update this community space in addition to our Grammarly community spaces.

For now, if you have the chance to try out these new agents, we’d love to hear your feedback.

Stay tuned for more!

This seems like a pretty incorrect use of the term “agents.”
