I think your question, I think, is a very good question.
Wait, that's not what the banner says.
If you're using Grammarly and you're a student, you're a person who's a salesperson, it is your taste and judgment that is actually what gets valued in the end.
We're here to help make sure you don't make a mistake.
We're here to help make sure that you present yourself the best possible way.
That's what that banner is about.
We have 40 million users who use our products.
The vast majority of them work in professional industries, they're salespeople, they're support people, that's who that's addressing.
We're trying to tell them, don't worry about losing your job when you use our products because we're here to help you scale more.
We're here to help you be a better version of you.
That's what that banner is about.
That's what our promise is about.
I do think we have a proposition for you, Nilay, as well, which is that you can now become one of those assistants to all those people.
And many of them have no idea that they could use your help.
But if you can build that relationship with them like Grammarly does, and people personify Grammarly all the time as my high school English teacher sitting next to me everywhere I work, that makes me better.
If I can have my high school English teacher with me everywhere I work, it makes me better.
It makes my trust and judgment shine through.
I would like your agent, for the people that matter, for people for whom you matter, you should be able to build an agent that sits right next to them and you can actually feel like their editor.
Now, you got to do some work to make that a good experience.
You're going to have to figure out how to document your editing style in a way that actually produces a good result, not like the one you quoted earlier.
