Complete guide to Grammarly AI

Getting started

Install the Grammarly extension in your browser, Word, or Google Docs, or use the web editor at grammarly.com. As you write, Grammarly underlines grammar and spelling errors and suggests clarity and tone improvements in real time; accept or dismiss each suggestion with one click. If you need to prove that a text is yours (for academic or professional work), enable Authorship: it logs in real time which parts you wrote, which came from AI, and which were copied from another source.

Use cases

Real-time grammar and style correction
Detects errors as you write in the browser, Word, Google Docs, or the desktop app, with full-sentence rewrite suggestions.
Tone adjustment
Detects if a text sounds too blunt or informal, and offers alternatives to soften or formalize the tone depending on the context.
Verify text authorship (Authorship)
Generates an originality report that distinguishes what was written by you, generated by AI, edited with Grammarly, or copied from a known source.
AI-generated content detection
The AI Detector analyzes a text and estimates the likelihood that it was generated by tools like ChatGPT or Gemini.

Advanced setup

  1. Enable Authorship in Word or Google Docs
    Once enabled, it logs every keystroke, paste, or AI rewrite as you write, classifying the text into four categories: written by you, AI-generated, AI-edited, or copied from a source.
  2. Generate an originality report
    After enabling Authorship, you can export a report showing the percentage of original, AI-assisted, or copied text, useful for sharing with a teacher or manager.
  3. Adjust the suggestion level
    Configure whether you want suggestions limited to basic grammar or also style, tone, and advanced clarity, based on your writing preferences.
  4. Plans and AI prompt limits
    The free plan includes 100 AI prompts per month; the Pro plan ($12/month) expands this to 2,000 prompts per member, plus plagiarism and AI-generated text detection.

Tips

  • Enable Authorship from the very start of an important document: if you turn it on halfway through, the originality report won't reflect the whole writing process.
  • Use the tone adjustment before sending sensitive communications (to a boss, client, or teacher): it keeps a direct message from coming across as unintentionally blunt.
  • Don't rely 100% on the AI Detector for important decisions: like any AI detector, it can produce false positives or negatives.
  • Review the full-sentence rewrite suggestions, not just the isolated corrections: they tend to noticeably improve the overall clarity of the text.
