Grammarly has secured $1 billion in non-dilutive financing from General Catalyst to enhance its AI offerings and expand into a comprehensive productivity platform.
The funding will be used for sales, marketing costs, strategic acquisitions, and building communication-based productivity tools and integrating third-party tools on its platform.
General Catalyst will not acquire equity in Grammarly but will receive a capped return tied to the revenue generated from the fund used for customer acquisition.
Grammarly faces critiques of its AI writing tools from Kirk McElhearn, highlighting issues with quality and integration, while also discussing comparisons with Apple's writing tools.
