AnnounceKit now integrates Grammarly directly into the changelog editor, letting product teams check grammar, spelling, and style without switching tabs or browser extensions. The integration is available on all AnnounceKit plans, free of charge — no separate Grammarly subscription required for core features.
What is Grammarly?
Grammarly is a widely used AI-powered writing assistant that analyzes text in real time and provides suggestions for grammar, spelling, punctuation, style, and tone. It works across web browsers, Microsoft Word, and Google Docs, and is trusted by millions of professionals and students globally.
Grammarly offers both free and premium tiers. The free version covers core grammar and spelling checks, while the Premium tier adds plagiarism detection, advanced style suggestions, and genre-specific writing modes. Inside AnnounceKit, Grammarly’s essential writing checks are available at no extra cost on every plan.
How Does the Grammarly Integration Work?
The Grammarly integration is built directly into AnnounceKit’s rich text editor. As you type your changelog entry or announcement, Grammarly analyzes your text in real time and underlines suggestions — just like it does in Google Docs or your browser. You can accept or dismiss each suggestion without leaving the editor.
Setting Up Grammarly in AnnounceKit (3 Steps)
- Open the AnnounceKit editor — Log in to your AnnounceKit dashboard and create a new announcement or open an existing draft. The Grammarly integration is active by default in the rich text editor — no plugin or extension install is needed.
- Start writing your content — As you type, Grammarly automatically analyzes your text. Spelling mistakes are underlined in red, grammar issues in blue, and style suggestions in green. Hover over any underlined word to see Grammarly’s recommendation.
- Accept or dismiss suggestions — Click any suggestion to apply it instantly, or dismiss it if you prefer your original phrasing. Once satisfied, publish your announcement as normal — Grammarly works silently in the background without interrupting your workflow.
Benefits of Using Grammarly for Product Announcements
Changelog entries and product announcements are often the first thing users read after a release. A single typo or awkward sentence can undermine trust in an otherwise well-crafted update. Grammarly inside AnnounceKit catches these issues before you hit publish, so your communication always reads as polished and professional.
Beyond error-checking, Grammarly helps product managers and writers maintain a consistent tone across all announcements. Whether your brand voice is formal and concise or conversational and friendly, Grammarly’s tone detector flags when a specific post drifts off-message. This is particularly valuable for teams where multiple people contribute to the changelog. You can also check out our guide on crafting effective feature announcements for additional best practices on writing release notes your users will actually read.
For teams shipping updates frequently, the time savings add up significantly. Rather than copy-pasting text into an external grammar tool or relying on a separate browser extension, Grammarly’s feedback appears inline — cutting the review loop from minutes to seconds per post.
Impact on User Experience
With AnnounceKit’s Grammarly integration, the user experience becomes more seamless and efficient. Real-time grammar and spelling suggestions appear directly in the editor, eliminating the need to copy text into external tools that slow down the workflow. Writers who previously hesitated to publish due to grammar uncertainty can now ship announcements confidently.
The integration removes friction at the most critical moment — just before publishing. This means fewer revision cycles, faster release communication, and a more consistent experience for end users reading the changelog. AnnounceKit’s ongoing commitment to building useful integrations at no extra cost reflects its focus on reducing friction for product teams.

Grammar Checking for Release Notes: Why It Matters
Release notes and changelogs are often written under time pressure — shipped minutes after a deployment, drafted by engineers rather than writers, and rarely proofread twice. This makes them one of the most error-prone forms of business communication. A grammar checker integrated directly into the publishing tool is the most effective way to catch errors without adding process overhead.
Unlike blog posts or marketing copy, changelog entries have a very specific reader expectation: accuracy and clarity. Users skimming a release note need to understand what changed, why it matters, and whether any action is required on their part. Grammarly’s suggestions help ensure that ambiguous sentences get flagged and rewritten before they create confusion or support tickets.
Product teams using AnnounceKit to manage their public-facing changelogs now have a native grammar safety net built into every post — from minor bug fix notes to major feature launches. This makes the writing quality of every announcement consistent, regardless of who on the team authored it.
