Grammar isn't often the first thing that comes to mind when looking for anything. We frequently type in a hurry or fail to pay attention to what is displayed on the screen. And, let's be honest, we all have moments when we question how a particular term is spelled. Grammar tools can in handy in all of these situations.

Google Search now includes a new grammar check tool. This feature checks whether a phrase or sentence is grammatically correct and proposes adjustments if it isn't. The grammar check is powered by AI and may not attain 100% accuracy, particularly with partial phrases; also, it is presently only available in English.

To enable and use this feature, simply type "grammar check" at the end of your query. While Google claims that Search can identify your intent for a grammatical check even if you don't ask for it, my own experiments haven't consistently succeeded.

You should also be aware that Google Search's grammar check will not function if the content violates Google's overall policies, which include content that is harmful, harassing, hostile, medical, sexually explicit, or terrorist in nature, as well as vulgar language and profanity.

Although the grammar check tool may appear untrustworthy owing to intermittent activation even when adding "grammar check" to the search box, Google nevertheless provides assistance with spelling and grammar. It accomplishes this by suggesting ways to correct your query if it is misspelled.

Furthermore, if you want to ensure that your grammar is right, you should enable the spell check tool in your browser or consider installing a browser plugin like Grammarly.

Google is putting in a lot of effort in the AI industry, and we're seeing more innovative products and features powered by AI than ever before. Recently, reports circulated that Google helper might be enhanced with AI to become a "supercharged" helper. There's also talk about Google Assistant employing artificial intelligence to summarize web pages or simply explain what you're reading.
