The AI Grader agent is a great way to evaluate the quality of your writing assignment before you submit it. Instead of relying on generic AI for basic feedback, AI Grader offers detailed feedback aligned with any provided rubric, course details, and writing topic. This gives you a customized set of recommendations at both the document and paragraph level, as well as an estimated grade to help you improve and get the grade you really want.
The AI Grader agent is available in docs for Grammarly Pro and Grammarly Plus subscribers. Users of Grammarly Free will get one free document scan per day, with limited specific suggestions on how to improve their writing assignments.
For Grammarly Enterprise, Grammarly Business, and Grammarly for Education users, the AI Grader agent is accessible in docs if this writing surface and the agent are enabled by an admin. Admins can adjust agent access for team members on the Agent access page.

FAQs
Is using the AI Grader agent considered cheating?
The AI Grader agent is designed to help you improve your writing to meet your assignment requirements. It aims to coach you on how to make your work better. This shouldn’t be regarded as cheating, but if you’re in doubt, ask your instructor. While the grade is a prediction, it should not be considered the final grade you will receive after submitting.
What kinds of assignments can the AI Grader agent evaluate?
The AI Grader can assess any kind of writing assignment across disciplines. The more specific the criteria you provide, the more specific and targeted the feedback will be.
Can the AI Grader agent detect plagiarism?
No. To check your text for plagiarism, you need to use the Plagiarism Checker agent.
Will my school or professor find out I used the AI Grader agent?
The AI Grader agent is designed to help students double-check and improve their work before submission. It does not include features for instructors. Remember that the rewrite components of the AI Grader agent are AI-based. We recommend consulting your instructor before using any generative AI features in tools like Grammarly to ensure you’re following the proper policies.
How does the AI Grader know what my professor might think of my paper?
AI Grader is not a “replica” of your professor. If you provide your rubric, AI Grader will use that information and your writing content to gauge how your professor might evaluate the line of thinking in your paper. If no rubric is specified, AI Grader will conduct a generic evaluation of the writing argumentation, readability, and delivery. The grade should not be considered a direct prediction of what grade your professor will assign.
