How does Grammarly know what “good” writing is?
At the foundation of Grammarly’s product experience is a combination of human expertise and innovative technology.
“Grammarly’s AI technology treats our writing as if it’s a translation. But instead of translating English to German, Grammarly translates bad English to correct English. Grammarly does this with the help of several linguists and a vast amount of literature it loads into its systems to train everything from deep neural nets—some of the most sophisticated AI technology—to simple, rule-based programs.”

Correct isn’t good enough
Just because something’s grammatically correct doesn’t mean it’s clear or compelling. Grammarly’s suggestions help you fix overall delivery, poor word choice, tangled sentences, and even plagiarism. And we are adding new ways to improve your writing all the time!

What does Grammarly do with my data?
Your information is secure, private, and under your control
The way we make money is by selling subscriptions to our paid offerings. We don’t ever sell user data, and we take extreme care to ensure your data is isolated. Any writing that an individual or organization reviews with our writing assistance will never appear in another customer’s writing suggestions. You choose where Grammarly analyzes your writing.
