Does Grammarly use generative artificial intelligence (AI)? Can I turn off/disable Grammarly's generative AI features?

Some of Grammarly's features use generative artificial intelligence (AI). If you use Grammarly's generative AI features, this must be acknowledged in your work, even if you are using the software to support a disability or language need.  A failure to acknowledge any use of generative AI may be considered academic dishonesty.

Grammary's AI features are indicated by the lightbulb icon.  On the Grammarly website, these are also accessed through the "Generative AI" button.

As these features are clearly identifiable within Grammarly, it is unlikely you would use them accidentally or unknowingly.  If you are at all concerned that you may use the generative AI features accidentally, Grammarly allows you to turn off/disable these features.

To turn off Grammarly's generative AI features:

  1. In Grammarly, select "Account" from the menu
  2. From the Account menu, go to "Settings" and then select "Feature Customisation" from the menu
  3. Toggle the generative AI functions to off.  The tick symbol ("check mark") will not show when the features are turned off.
