Add an AI-assistant to the Write Activity

[walterbender]

Ticket Contents

Description

Sugar pioneered peer editing in its Write activiy. However, the Write Activity has never had any serious support for grammar correction (just spell check) and none of the more recent developments around AI-assisted writing. The goal of this project is to add AI-assistance to the writing process: both in the form of providing feedback as to what has been written and making suggestions as to what might be written.

The challenge will be both in terms of workflow integration and UX.
