Prove your ethical use of AI

As you head into exam and paper-writing season, it’s important to keep academic integrity in mind. Grammarly has a suite of features that teach responsible, effective, and transparent use of AI in writing. Our latest features, Authorship and AI detection, give you the opportunity to automatically categorize your text as you write and demonstrate to your instructors how you may or may not have used AI and other sources in your writing.

You get to see your AI detection score before you submit, giving you the chance to cite instances where your text may set off an AI detector. And most importantly, Authorship provides a shareable report that you can view before sharing with your instructor, giving you peace of mind that what you submit will be accepted as your own, authentic work by your professor.
