Grammarly is a free AI powered writing assistant and you could use it across all your favorite apps to really improve your writing
0:07
And this is one of the very first tools that started using AI to help with writing and it's being used by more than 30 million people
0:13
So it could help you with spelling, you could help you with grammar, with clarity, with tone
0:17
And it works across different apps like Gmail inside of Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Slack, and ton more apps
0:25
And they also recently added generative AI, a lot of new options that I'm going to show you in this video
0:30
So you could get started at Grammarly.com. I'll put a link in the description. You could go ahead and sign up for free right over here
0:36
Now, once you log into the website, Grammarly works across all kinds of different apps
0:41
So right here, this is the website version of Grammarly, and we could upload any document here and start working with it right inside of this website
0:49
So technically, we don't have to install it anywhere else. But to really get it to be the most useful
0:55
you do want to install it on your browser as a Chrome extension
0:59
and you also want to download it to your PC or your Mac. I'm on a Mac here, but the process is exactly the same on the PC
1:06
So I'll show you this as well. And I'll also show you over here this premium section because they do have a paid option
1:13
So I'm covering this free option here in this video. But this premium paid option gives you a lot more that is not included in the free version
1:21
For example, it lets you generate text here with all these different AI prompts
1:26
So this is going to make it much faster. And one of my favorite options here is it lets you catch accidental plagiarism
1:33
So this kind of makes it a lot more safer than this free version. But this free version does have a lot of useful options
1:39
So we'll cover this in this video. Let's go ahead and get started here with Grammally on the web
1:44
This is a very useful place if you're brand new to it. So I'll go ahead and start with this demo document
1:49
This one comes with your account as well. And then you'll have more here as you upload more documents from this upload tab
1:56
Let's click on the demo document. So here's exactly how grammarly works
2:00
Over here on the right side, it's going to give you an overall score, and then that is based on the goal that you set
2:06
So if you click this goals option, you basically could set goals to help you get to score as high as possible
2:13
So you could choose what audience you're writing for, what kind of formality you need, is it informal or formal
2:20
What kind of domain of expertise? Is it for academic papers or business or general
2:24
and your intent? So I'm going to set everything to default for this, and then that's going to recalculate my overall score up here
2:31
So it's 74 right now. Now, when it comes to correcting your document right here, the very first thing you'll see are things that have a red underline
2:39
Those need to be corrected for spelling. So it catch any spelling issues and you highlight it and all you have to do is click it and either dismiss it if it something that you want to keep In this case it clearly a typo so you could go ahead and correct that by pressing accept You will also help you do things like removing commas
2:57
For example, this comma is not required here. So it's telling me to remove the comma
3:02
Another one over here is asking me to remove the comma as well. So this correctness is something you want to pay attention to two and just press accept
3:10
Then you have clarity. This is one of my favorite option when it comes to grammar
3:15
So it would actually help you restructure. sentences again with one click. So it says this will be much better if it's rewritten. So it's going to
3:23
cross this out and write this instead. So you could accept this. And on the left side
3:27
the suggestion will appear over here. So if you want to just see things related to clarity or the
3:32
correctness, which was the spellings that we fixed, you could jump into them directly from there
3:37
And you could see quite the other things are what is required with the premium version. So if you
3:42
want to see the engagements, basically help you write something that is more interesting for the reader
3:46
to be more engaged, you could go ahead and upgrade from here as well. And the same thing with delivery
3:52
this is another premium option over here. So you could learn more about the premium. I showed you the
3:57
pricing and the plagiarism check. This is the one really useful option. A lot of people upgrade just
4:03
for this one. That is available over here if you upgrade. And we now have generative AI. So if you
4:09
select this option, you could actually try to set a voice for your entire text. So if you want
4:16
the formality to be more casual and more personable and then choose a profession here, marketing
4:22
professionals, let's say. You could use this as the voice. And then you could go ahead and improve
4:27
the text, for example, here. And it's going to try to write some text. And here we got some new
4:32
text. Then we could go ahead and insert it from here as well. Now, this generative AI is limited again
4:37
with the free option, but you do have some credits here to use. So I'm using the completely free
4:41
version. And I do have this available. So those are all the different things inside of this
4:46
web version. Next, I'm going to go back to the homepage because a lot of times we obviously don't want
4:50
to work on the demo. We want to upload our own documents. So you want to press upload over here
4:55
And here you could paste any text so you technically don't have to upload anything or you
4:59
can press upload. Let me upload a document that I have on my computer. And every time you upload a document
5:04
it's going to set up the goal again. So depending on what you want to do, you could see the default score
5:08
is 55. But in this case, this is for more a general audience, not for experts. And I want to be
5:14
neutral, that's okay, and the domain of expertise is going to be general again, and the intent
5:21
is to actually inform. So to educate, and I'll go ahead and press done, and it's going to do the math
5:27
here to change the overall score one more time. And it looks like it stayed about the same. And if you
5:31
click that, you could see a lot of useful things. So you can see the word count, how long you will
5:35
take to read this So this is a script So this is very useful for me to know if I read this is going to take 11 minutes and you can see kind of the vocabulary really useful report here that it creates every time And again here I could go through this so I could click on correctness
5:50
Usually I start here. Anything that he's fixing with spelling, if the word is not correctly capitalized like here
5:56
you go ahead and change that. So this is really easy to just click through and make sure all these are set up correctly
6:02
in all these different suggestion categories. And you could always hide this too
6:07
You don't have to always use this left side. and you could just simply click on anything that has a blue underline here for removing wards
6:14
for example, I could just do it this way too. So I could just quickly highlight things like this
6:19
And this is sometimes a better way to do it because you could just go through them much, much quicker
6:24
Get a little preview, correct it, and it's done. Now, once you get things corrected, if you come to the My Grammarily tab here, you could actually download it from here
6:32
So if you click download, it's going to download it, in this case, as a ward dock
6:36
So I have word installed on my computer. so it downloaded it. You could obviously always copy and paste it
6:41
and take it into Google Docs or any other type of writing platform or email platform
6:46
Now, let me show you the real power of Grammarly because it doesn't take place on Grammarly.com
6:52
It takes place across all your favorite apps. So if you press Get Grammally right over here on top
6:58
or you could come to the left side apps. You could get Gramerly for your PC or your Mac
7:02
is going to auto-detect what computer you're on. You could get it for Chrome
7:06
This is one of my favorite ways use it and you could get it for iPhone and iPad and your Android all these are available so let's go
7:14
ahead and start with Grammarly for Chrome install that and as long as you're using Google Chrome here
7:20
which is my browser of choice I could go ahead and add this and all you have to do is press this
7:26
little extension icon if you are using Chrome and it's going to let you pin this like this
7:32
and it's going to appear over here as this little icon and I want to make sure I'm logged into my Grammarly
7:37
accounts if I'm doing this for the first time which I am and this is the power of it so now if I go to
7:42
Google Docs let me show you if I use this inside of Google Docs or inside of Gmail now I'm inside of
7:47
Google Docs and look at this little icon that I have right here so I could rewrite with Grammarly or
7:52
I could click this little red icon here and it's going to pop up exactly what I showed you on the
7:57
Grammarly website so correctness clarity engagement and delivery again some of the paid premium options
8:03
but if I want to fix any spelling I just click this and there we go
8:07
I could just click and it says change four to two. So I could choose it right over here
8:12
And just like this is fixing it. And if I hide this, I could click on my document over here and I get the same option where I could quickly change it
8:21
So this one is refraising it. So that's the yellow underline. The red underline here is for typos or misspellings
8:29
The blue underline here is going to be for refraising sentences for more of a clarity And this right here this little icon that I have that brings up this point box this is now inside of all your favorite apps that takes place on the web as long as you using Chrome
8:43
to go inside of Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Gmail, pretty much all your Google apps
8:49
are going to have Grammally. It's even inside of YouTube comment section, YouTube description
8:53
very useful option with this Google Chrome extension. And if you don't want it
8:58
you could always click over here and you could always turn it off, and it's going to disappear
9:02
So you could always turn it on and off if you are not using it. And the generative AI options, by the way, if you select things and you click this little option over here
9:10
you could select some text and you could press improve and then it's going to help you improve that text here
9:16
And then you could insert that text instead. You see how quickly that worked
9:19
This is the generative AI tool, one of my favorite options inside of Grammarly
9:24
And you also have Grammarly for Mac and PC. So if you install it on your computer, now it's going to do it inside of the apps you have
9:32
in your computer that are installed like Microsoft Word could now get Grammally with this option
9:37
So let me go ahead and install this. And this is the free version of Grammaryly now on my Mac
9:42
Again, same on the PC. You just download it from their website. And this works inside of Ward
9:47
This is something I have installed on my computer. Inside of Gmail with the Gmail app
9:51
Even inside of Apple Notes, which is where I take a lot of notes, for example
9:55
But let me use it inside of Ward, since we could have this on Mac or PC. And there it is
10:00
It popped up right here. It's always in the bottom corner here. So again, you could use the generative AI tool to use it to write
10:07
Or you could click this option here to fix again the correctness
10:11
That's the spelling, punctuation, grammar. Then the clarity you have where you would write concise, easy to read sentences
10:19
You have engagement and you have delivery. So in this case, again, if I use this, I could accept the changes over here
10:25
So no matter where you use this, it kind of looks the same here on the side
10:29
And if I close it, again, use it in. of my dock. If I hover over as long as Grammarly is installed, I could go ahead and click like this
10:36
and fix any issues that I have over here. And this counter here is basically how many issues I have
10:43
So it says 92. That's how many different types of issues I have based on it. And it says 194 if you use
10:49
the premium suggestions. So it's only showing me the suggestions for correctness and clarity because
10:55
that's what the free version gives you. And the generative AI tool is this other option
10:59
And if you want to get the version for your iPhone or your Android phone, you could go ahead and install them here or from these app stores or the Google Play stores on your phone
11:08
So Gramerly is obviously a really great tool. If you want to take your writing to even the next level, I recommend learning how to prompt chat GPT correctly because that could help you really speed up your writing
11:19
So I have a different video that shows you exactly how to get started and maximize the usefulness of chat GPT
11:25
I'll link that here as well. Thanks so much for watching this video. I'll see you on the next one
