people ask us this one a lot. "why wouldn't i just use grammarly?"

short answer: grammarly and paraai do completely different things. you could use both.

what grammarly does well

grammarly is a grammar and style checker. it catches typos, fixes comma splices, flags passive voice, suggests clearer phrasing. it's good at this. probably the best tool out there for cleaning up writing mechanics.

their newer ai features can rewrite sentences and adjust tone. but it's still fundamentally about correctness — making your existing text better, not transforming it.

what grammarly doesn't do

grammarly doesn't make ai-generated text sound human. that's not what it's for.

if you paste chatgpt output into grammarly, it'll fix the grammar (which is usually already fine) and maybe flag some wordiness. the output will be slightly cleaner chatgpt text. still sounds like ai. still gets flagged by every detector.

grammarly also can't generate content. it needs you to write first. if you're staring at a blank page, grammarly can't help.

where paraai fits

paraai solves a different set of problems.

blank page? cowrite generates a full draft from a brief description.

text sounds like ai? paraphrase rewrites it using fine-tuned models trained on human-text corpora. the output has natural sentence variation, real rhythm, the kind of messiness that human writing has.

need real-time help while writing? quill gives you ai suggestions in the editor as you type. not grammar corrections — actual content suggestions that match your voice.

grammarly polishes. paraai transforms. they're solving different problems.

can you use both?

yeah, honestly that's a solid workflow. write or generate your draft, run it through paraai's paraphrase for structural rewriting and untraceable ai output, then use grammarly for a final grammar pass.

paraai handles the big stuff — making text sound human, adding natural variation, getting past detectors. grammarly catches the small stuff — that comma you missed, the "their" that should be "there."

who should pick what

if your writing is already good and you just need proofreading, grammarly is your tool.

if you're working with ai-generated content and need it to sound natural — or if you want ai help with the actual writing process, not just the grammar — paraai is what you want.

most people who try both end up keeping both. they do genuinely different things.
