About Grammarly
What is Grammarly?
A writing assistant that checks spelling, grammar, clarity and tone as you type in email, documents and browsers. Paid plans add sentence rewrites, tone adjustment and plagiarism and AI-text detection. Its parent company now trades as Superhuman. Grammarly is a specialised AI tool in the Writing category that applies machine learning to automate, enhance, or augment tasks in this domain.
Set Grammarly to Australian English so it stops flagging correct spellings like 'organisation'. Because it reads everything staff type in connected apps, treat it as a data-sharing decision: confidential client documents and personal information pass through it, which brings in the Privacy Act 1988. The Enterprise plan gives central controls over where it runs, but check with the vendor where data is processed, as Australian hosting was not confirmed. Consider switching it off in systems holding health or legal records.
How Australian Businesses Use Grammarly

Data Residency & Privacy in Australia
Grammarly, now part of Superhuman, hosts data on Amazon Web Services in the United States, and its sub-processor list shows US hosting. No Australian region is offered. Superhuman states that it does not sell customer data or let third parties train models on it. Ask about Enterprise controls that limit which apps Grammarly runs in and how long text is retained.

Getting Started with Grammarly in Australia
Grammarly is available directly at grammarly.com. Sign up for a trial or free tier to evaluate the tool for your specific use case. Identify one clear workflow to start with, measure results over 30 days, and expand from there. Reach out to the vendor's support team for onboarding guidance.
Outside help is most useful when the tool has to connect to existing systems, handle personal information, or be rolled out to a whole team. AI Lab Australia works with businesses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide on that setup.

Can Grammarly check Australian English?
Yes. Set the language preference to Australian English and Grammarly accepts spellings such as organisation, colour and licence instead of flagging them. Each user sets this in their account or extension, so include the step in onboarding and check that shared style guides match the dialect setting across the team.
Where does Grammarly store my writing?
Text you check is processed and stored on Amazon Web Services infrastructure in the United States. There is no Australian hosting option, so treat Grammarly as an overseas disclosure under the Australian Privacy Principles when staff check documents containing personal information, and consider disabling it in systems holding health, legal or financial client records.
Who owns Grammarly now?
Grammarly's parent company bought the Superhuman email app in 2025 and later renamed itself Superhuman, with enterprise sales now running through Superhuman Go. The Grammarly product, browser extension and website continue under the Grammarly name, so individual subscriptions carry on, but new business contracts may be issued by Superhuman.
Is the free version of Grammarly enough for a small business?
For basic spelling and grammar, often yes. The free plan catches typos and common errors but limits rewrites, tone adjustments and generative prompts. Businesses that want plagiarism checks, shared settings or admin control over who uses the tool need a paid plan, and Enterprise adds SSO and data loss prevention.
