Grammarly has once again proven why it’s a leader in AI-powered writing tools.
Its latest innovation, the Authorship feature, just won the 2025 EdTech Breakthrough Award. This tool is changing how AI-generated content is used and tracked in education and professional writing.
What Is Grammarly Authorship?
Grammarly Authorship is a new feature that shows who wrote or edited each part of a document.
It tracks whether a sentence was written by the user or suggested by AI.
This is a major step toward AI transparency and academic integrity.
It gives schools, teachers, and institutions confidence that submitted work is genuinely the student’s.
Why This Award Matters
The EdTech Breakthrough Awards celebrate innovation in education technology.
Grammarly winning this award shows the growing need for tools that can:
- Detect AI involvement
- Ensure fair writing practices
- Encourage ethical use of generative AI
This is important as more students use tools like GrammarlyGO, ChatGPT, and other AI writers in their assignments.
How It Works
Grammarly Authorship is now being integrated with:
- Microsoft Word
- Canvas LMS (Learning Management System)
When users write or edit content, the system logs:
- If a sentence was written by a human
- If it was AI-generated or AI-edited
Educators can review this history to confirm originality.
