AI that simulates a teacher’s feedback

Grammarly’s new platform Docs now includes an AI Grader agent, which estimates the grade your paper might earn, guided by your course rubric and instructor style. It’s free for both Grammarly Free and Pro users.

Writing support tailored to the reader and your intent
The suite offers tools like a Proofreader (to tidy up grammar and clarity), a Paraphrase agent (to shift tone or style), a Citation Finder (to back your claims with properly formatted sources), and a Reader Reactions agent (to preview how readers might respond and what questions they could raise).

Educator tools for fairness and integrity

Teachers and institutions can tap into plagiarism detection and an AI-generated-text detector powered by wide-reaching databases. These are currently available to Pro users and will be extended to Education and Enterprise customers later this year.

Building AI literacy, not dependency

Grammarly positions these tools not as shortcuts, but as learning partners meant to help students develop writing skills and responsibly engage with AI. The company sees AI fluency as crucial for tomorrow’s workforce.

That’s the core of it. Grammarly is expanding from grammar fixes to a full suite writing ally, for both students and educators alike.

AI can walk away when things go south

Claude Opus 4 and 4.1 now have the power to end chats in “rare, extreme cases of persistently harmful or abusive user interactions”—but only when redirection has failed repeatedly.

This feature is about model welfare—not just user safety

Anthrop ic researchers noticed Claude showing signs of distress under abusive requests from illegal instructions to sexual content involving minors. The quit feature comes from the idea that the model itself might need protection.

Users hit that limit will be shut out—but not forever

Once Claude ends a chat, the user can’t continue within that thread. But they can always start anew or retry with edited prompts.

Self-harm or threats don’t end chats

If the user is expressing suicidal thoughts or harmful intentions toward others, Claude won’t shut down—Anthropic has directed it to respond with care, connecting to crisis resources instead.

Most users won’t notice it

Anthropic stresses this will affect only a tiny fraction of interactions. The vast majority of conversations, even controversial ones, won’t trigger this safety net.

 Start with the hook

Grab attention in the first line. Think of it as your headline—short, punchy, and scroll-stopping.

Add context or value

Tell a quick story, share a tip, or explain the photo. Keep it simple—no need for long essays unless it’s part of your style.

Use a call to action (CTA)

Invite your audience to engage. Examples: “Tag a friend who needs this” or “What’s your take? Drop it below.”

Sprinkle in personality

Add emojis, humor, or brand tone to make it feel real.

Don’t forget hashtags

Use 3–5 targeted hashtags instead of stuffing. They boost discoverability without looking spammy.

Lavender AI

Lavender is basically that brutally honest friend who tells you when your emails are boring.

Marketers call it content repurposing; Pictory makes it look effortless.
