Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T market

The wealthiest companies tend to target the biggest markets. For example, NVIDIA skyrocketed nearly 200% higher in the last year with the $214B AI market’s tailwind.

That’s why investors are so excited about Pacaso.

Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso brings co-ownership to a $1.3 trillion real estate market. And by handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, they’ve made $110M+ in gross profit to date. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

No wonder the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso. And for just $2.90/share, you can join them as an early-stage Pacaso investor today.

Grammarly moves beyond grammar checking

Grammarly has launched a major redesign along with a suite of new AI tools that go beyond grammar correction. The new interface centers around a cleaner writing canvas and a sidebar that acts more like a workspace than an editing tool. Users now have access to features that suggest rewrites, generate outlines, and even create full drafts based on short prompts. Grammarly says this update reflects a shift from being an assistant for editing to becoming a partner in the full writing process.

According to CEO Rahul Roy-Chowdhury, the goal is to “help people go from idea to execution faster” by integrating AI features directly into the writing environment. These tools, built on large language models, are designed to reduce friction for users who want to brainstorm, draft, and refine their work without switching between apps. The update also introduces collaboration options, making Grammarly a more direct competitor to platforms like Google Docs and Notion. As TechCrunch notes, this move positions Grammarly closer to becoming an everyday productivity suite rather than a background checker.

The bigger story here is about how AI continues to reshape the tools we rely on for communication. What started as a grammar assistant is now encroaching on territory once reserved for full-fledged productivity platforms. For anyone whose work depends on clear writing—whether that’s pitching, planning, or publishing—this shift underscores how software can evolve from fixer to co-creator. The question is less about grammar and more about how we collaborate with machines to turn thoughts into action.

Takeaways at a Glance:

• New interface emphasizes workspace-like features rather than just editing.

• AI tools now support rewrites, outlines, and first drafts from prompts.

• Collaboration options push Grammarly closer to Google Docs and Notion.

• CEO emphasizes speed from “idea to execution.”

What We Think About It:

• Grammarly’s pivot reflects the broader shift of AI products moving up the value chain, from fixing to creating. This could challenge incumbents like Google and Microsoft in the productivity space. It’s also a signal that “single-feature” AI apps will increasingly evolve into platforms to stay competitive.

What You Can Do Right Now:

• Explore Grammarly’s new features to test whether it can replace or complement your existing writing workflows. If you’re building AI tools, watch how Grammarly expands scope—it’s a live case study in AI-driven product evolution.
