Editing is a lot more than grammar and specific characters may have distinctive "grammar" even apart from dialect in dialogue.
There are different levels of edit. The lowest is punctuation, wrong word/typo (discus, discuss, broach, brooch, place, palace, he and she, where, were), missing repeats that are valid (removed by over enthusiastic grammar check) such as in in, that that etc.
Next level is structure of phrases such as comma reduction by swapping phrases, commas used instead of semicolon, period or joining word.
Top and most expensive is developmental edits. Also related is errors of internal logical consistency (stuff inherently impossible even in SF or Fantasy setting never mind regular fiction) which at simplest level is car colour or eye colour different in different places. A name spelled correctly but inconsistently. Major plot holes or important character / event issues unresolved.
Even dedicated grammar checkers in best programs are not much better than over 30 years ago.
Don't believe the hype. Also using a tool ONLY available in the so called Cloud (=someone else's server connected by Internet) is a huge issue. There is a reason some people don't use Alexa, Chrome Books, Ring, Nest or such apart from paranoia.
