Grammarly has acquired Superhuman in a strategic move to deepen its presence in professional email. The terms of the deal remain private, but the purchase brings Superhuman’s fast‑loading interface and agent‑powered features into Grammarly’s AI‑driven suite. Founders Rahul Vohra, Vivek Sodera, and Conrad Irwin will join Grammarly’s leadership team. This integration aims to create a seamless flow between writing assistance and inbox management.
Why Email Matters for AI Agents
Professionals spend hours every day in their inboxes. Grammarly CEO Shishir Mehrotra explained that combining Superhuman’s email client with Grammarly’s AI creates an environment where multiple intelligent agents can collaborate. Tasks such as drafting replies, scheduling meetings, and categorizing messages may soon happen automatically under the hood. By owning both writing correction and email orchestration tools, Grammarly seeks to reduce context switching and boost efficiency across office workflows.
Superhuman’s Journey and Impact
Since its launch, Superhuman has secured over one hundred fourteen million dollars in funding from investors like a16z IVP and Tiger Global. Its last valuation reached eight hundred twenty‑five million dollars. The app is known for shortcuts that let users handle email at lightning speed. Recent AI updates to Superhuman added smart email categorization, predictive reply suggestions, and automated scheduling—all features that will now benefit Grammarly’s vast user base.
Next Steps in AI‑Powered Productivity
Grammarly plans to weave Superhuman’s technology into its own platform. Expect unified dashboards where writing scores and inbox health sit side by side. Superhuman’s team will work on bringing enhanced email agents into Grammarly’s ecosystem. Earlier this year, Grammarly acquired Coda and raised one billion dollars in a revenue‑based financing deal from General Catalyst. With these resources, the company stands ready to invest heavily in agent collaboration across document drafting, code writing, and now email.
What Users Will Experience
Existing Grammarly customers may soon find email suggestions inside their writing assistant. Superhuman users can look forward to integrated grammar checks, real‑time tone adjustments, and style guidance without leaving the inbox. The combined platform will aim to learn from both your prose and your communication patterns. This two‑way learning loop promises email that not only reads well but also acts on your behalf under clear user control.
Grammarly’s purchase of Superhuman signals a broader trend: productivity suites are moving from passive correction to active collaboration. By bringing email into their AI orbit, Grammarly and Superhuman hope to define the next era of workplace automation.
