What is the Grammarly Pilot?

Grammarly(link is external) is an AI-powered writing assistance tool that aims to improve users' writing quality, efficiency, and confidence. It works on many platforms and offers real-time feedback on various aspects of writing, such as grammatical errors, punctuation, usage of commonly confused words, and style elements, including tone and clarity.

Penn has partnered with Grammarly to conduct a Grammarly pilot for their "Grammarly for Education" product to explore and evaluate the tool and determine whether it is a good fit for the University. Grammarly for Education offers generative AI to generate or suggest content to aid text creation, brainstorm topics, and develop research plans and outlines. It also features additional support and functionality for academic writing and upholding academic integrity, such as plagiarism detection, AI and academic (APA, MLA, and Chicago-style) citations, and automated reminder prompts that encourage users to honor institutional policies when using generative AI.
