Grammarly Inc, a software company known for its writing assistant, is trying to expand its business to the office by harnessing artificial intelligence.

The company is rolling out a new product called Grammarly Business, using generative AI to streamline corporate communications. Among its features, the software can summarise key points in a long email string, identify whether the information is already shared within the organisation and compose a reply, Grammarly said Tuesday at an event introducing the product. The tool can connect to other common office applications such as Slack and Gmail, identify priority tasks for employees and compose a response to colleagues across different messaging apps.
