Is it okay to use Grammarly premium Grammarly GO helper for essays at university? I used it in my last essay though there was no plagiarism shown in my turnitin report I am scared what if my professor will detect it somehow?
I have used it and continue to do so with no issues.

Yes, I have used Grammarly for a BA(Hons) programme that finished in July this year. All Grammarly does is assist/guide, i.e., help make it less wordy, which is unacceptable in academic writing. Of course, I found that some of the suggestions Grammarly gave were not suited to my essay, but generally, I found it extremely useful.

Remember, it does not write your essay for you, it just guides you toward being grammatically correct. How is that cheating? Besides, in my first year of University I was recommended by a lecturer to use such a tool.

Grammarly GO write texts for you though as you can put prompts for instance “summarize it” and it does that for you.

If you are worried/in doubt, talk to your lecturer about this. Many academic writers use such tools

Ah, sorry I've just used Grammarly Premium hence I have no experience using Grammarly GO. If you want to improve your writing I suggest avoiding tools that summarize etc, just go for tools that improve the flow, grammar and reduce wordiness.
