I am excited to share today that Grammarly agrees to acquire Coda, the maker of trailblazing and powerful AI productivity tools Coda Docs and Coda Brain. Our aim is to bring Coda’s intelligence and flexibility into the Grammarly experience to supercharge user productivity.
As AI permeates every facet of the modern workplace, we’re experiencing one of the biggest technology shifts in our lifetime—one that redefines how we collaborate and get work done.
The future is AI and humans working together
Grammarly knows a great deal about harnessing AI to work faster and smarter. For the past 15 years, we’ve been evolving our beloved AI assistant along with building the remarkable infrastructure needed to support the many ways and places people use Grammarly. Grammarly’s ease of use belies the complexity happening under the hood. As our business has grown to 40 million daily active users, we’ve deployed AI at a scale few others can match.
Grammarly’s unique window into how individuals and companies use AI today and how they want to use AI in the future has informed where we think this market is headed: a world where humans and AI work together and collaborate everywhere work happens. A world where AI apps and agents feel as comfortable, easy to use, and genuinely helpful as Grammarly.
As we got to know the Coda team better, it was clear they share our vision and bring tremendous technology with their flexible productivity suite. It’s time to build the future together. In this next chapter, you’ll still be able to use the Grammarly you know and love—and you’ll also have new tools to help you work faster and smarter in lots of new ways. With an enterprise AI solution that taps into all your company knowledge and data through Coda Brain, the goal is to enable the context you need wherever you work. Coda Docs provides a new surface for ideation and innovation. Together, Grammarly and Coda aim to be an AI productivity platform for apps and agents, ready with the skills, tools, and knowledge you need to reach your potential. So much more to come on this…
A new CEO for Grammarly’s next chapter
In personal news, I will be stepping down as Grammarly’s CEO and leaving the company in the highly capable hands of Shishir Mehrotra, co-founder and CEO of Coda. I’ve known Shishir since our Google days together many years ago and deeply respect him as a leader and technologist. My time at Grammarly has been some of the most fulfilling work of my career. People everywhere count on Grammarly to help them show up as the best versions of themselves, and scaling Grammarly’s impact has been incredibly rewarding. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning from our talented employees and look forward to working alongside Shishir as an advisor.
I couldn’t be more excited about where Grammarly is headed, and I believe wholeheartedly in our vision of harnessing AI so people can collaborate and work smarter. Onward! 🚀
