Today, we announced that Coda is being acquired by Grammarly, the trusted AI assistant for communication and productivity. Together, we will build the AI productivity platform of the future. And I'm honored to lead the combined companies as CEO.
This represents an opportunity for dramatic acceleration of the Coda product and our mission. For the tens of thousands of teams that rely on Coda docs every day, you can count on those docs to continue working as they do now, and you'll see fast innovation as we supercharge them with our joint AI roadmap.
Looking back, Coda's journey began with an observation. In a world full of applications, why do documents and spreadsheets still run the world? And why haven't they changed in over 50 years? What would we build if we could start from scratch? Millions of users and tens of thousands of teams have shared in this vision, and I couldn't be more proud of where we are now: the all-in-one workspace that blends the flexibility of docs, the structure of spreadsheets, the power of applications, and the intelligence of AI.
I've spent the last few months dreaming about Coda's future. One of my close advisors suggested I connect with the Grammarly team—and I learned a lot. With 40 million daily active users, Grammarly is the original AI assistant, providing AI-powered suggestions to users for the past 15 years. Beyond being an incredibly smart assistant, Grammarly seamlessly blends with your existing tools and works with over 500,000 applications and websites to provide meaningful assistance directly inline, wherever you're working. So, while the Coda team has been busy redefining a new blinking cursor, the Grammarly team has been busy making every existing blinking cursor much smarter.
While chatting with the leaders at Grammarly, I realized that both companies have arrived at similar views of the future, where AI will redefine every business application and workflow, reinventing productivity as we know it today into a place where humans and AI work together everywhere you get work done. Together, we want to rethink a suite of tools and provide users with their own AI productivity platform for apps and agents.
I know that Coda is a tool you rely on for your everyday work and that this is a big change—I don't take that lightly. So I wanted to give you a glimpse into our plans to weave together the best parts of Coda and Grammarly.
First, we'll be working on making Grammarly's ubiquitous AI assistant even "smarter" and "more helpful" by adding the context of Coda Brain. Second, we'll be working on unifying Coda Docs and the Grammarly Assistant to provide an AI-native surface for users to work. Longer term, we have much grander plans for how we'll weave together our products to build the AI productivity platform for agents and apps.
This is a clear chapter mark; I hope you're as excited about this next chapter as I am. As I reflect on the past few years, hearing from you, our Coda community, about the docs, Packs, and workflows you've created and how they've transformed the way your teams work has been truly inspirational. Please keep pushing the boundaries of what Coda can do.
You can read the full announcement in my blog post. We'll have much more for you soon, so stay tuned.
