Superhuman

What is Superhuman?

Superhuman is a premium email client engineered for speed, designed to help power users process email twice as fast as with Gmail or Outlook. Founded by Rahul Vohra in 2014, Superhuman built its reputation on sub-100ms response times, keyboard-driven workflows, and a minimalist interface that strips away clutter to focus on rapid email triage. It supports both Gmail and Outlook accounts and works across Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.

In July 2025, Grammarly acquired Superhuman for an estimated $825 million, with the transaction completing in October 2025. This acquisition reshaped the product significantly. Superhuman Mail is no longer available as a standalone product — it now ships as part of a broader productivity bundle that includes Grammarly's writing AI, Coda workspace, and the new Superhuman Go AI agent. Despite the acquisition, Superhuman continues operating as an independent brand with Vohra remaining as CEO.

The AI capabilities have expanded considerably since the acquisition. Auto Drafts (launched October 2025) automatically writes follow-up emails based on thread context and your writing style. Auto Labels classifies incoming emails into categories without manual rules. Split Inbox organizes mail into customizable streams — VIP, newsletters, notifications, team updates — so you see what matters first. AI-powered instant summaries let you scan entire threads in seconds, and Smart Write generates context-aware replies that match your tone and voice. Read statuses show when recipients open your messages, and Snippets provide templated responses with dynamic variables for repetitive emails.

Superhuman's market position in 2026 is unique: it is the only premium email client that bundles AI writing assistance, CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive), and an AI agent into one subscription. The target audience remains executives, founders, sales leaders, and anyone processing 100+ emails daily who values speed over price.
