OpenAI — GPT-4 rewriting + native OS writing tools
history_edu The backstory
Grammarly built a genuinely useful real-time grammar layer across the OS. But its premium tier leaned on tone rewriting and paraphrasing — exactly what GPT-4 does better, and what Apple Intelligence and Windows now bake into the text field itself. Grammarly is wounded, not dead: the low-friction inline correction and the enterprise style-guide enforcement still hold value. The $12/mo upsell for "AI rewrite" is the part under pressure.
