Grammarly is not fully generative AI, but it uses elements of it.


What Grammarly Is:

Grammarly is an AI-powered writing assistant that focuses on:

  • Grammar and spelling correction
  • Style and tone suggestions
  • Clarity and conciseness
  • Plagiarism detection

It’s primarily a text-enhancement tool, not a full text generator.


Where Generative AI Comes In:

In recent updates, Grammarly has added generative AI features, especially in GrammarlyGO, such as:

  • Rewriting or rephrasing sentences
  • Generating full emails, replies, and content ideas
  • Suggesting outlines or expansions based on your writing

These features use generative language models, like GPT, to create or expand content, which qualifies as generative AI.


Summary:

Feature Is It Generative AI?
Grammar & tone correction No (traditional AI)
Sentence rephrasing Partially
GrammarlyGO content generation Yes (generative AI)

So, Grammarly includes generative AI, but its core product is not generative in the same way tools like ChatGPT are.
