- Grammarly has rebranded as Superhuman, with the writing assistant now a product under the larger company alongside Coda and Superhuman Mail
- They are joined by a new proactive AI assistant called Superhuman Go that works across over 100 apps
- Superhuman Go responds based on context and remembers individual details to help with tasks before you ask
Grammarly is renaming itself to Superhuman, with the grade and job-saving digital editor becoming one of the platform's flagship services. Though Grammarly will continue helping add and remove em-dashes, semi-colons, and Oxford commas, Superhuman plans to help manage your entire workday.
The relaunch unifies Grammarly, the AI-powered collaboration platform, Coda, and email client Superhuman Mail, both acquired by the rebranded Grammarly in recent years. As part of the revamp, Superhuman is also debuting a new AI assistant embedded into your every work activity called Superhuman Go.
That means if you’re one of Grammarly’s 40 million daily users, accustomed to getting a helpful “You could clarify this sentence” tooltip before sending a Slack message or Google Doc comment, you'll notice there's a lot more help available.
Grammarly, as a writing assistant, will keep its own branding, as well as Coda and Superhuman Mail, but Superhuman Go will be the hub where AI agents will be orchestrated across your apps to do things, possibly before you ask. The idea is to finally close what the company calls the "productivity gap" between what AI promises and what it actually does on your behalf.
The actual experience will vary, but, where Grammarly once highlighted passive voice writing in an email draft and offered an alternative phrasing, Superhuman Go might now summarize your entire email thread and draft a reply to match your cultivated tone of professional warmth, then offer to schedule a follow-up meeting with two suggested time slots, pulling in last quarter’s performance metrics for them. This will already be done before you've read the second sentence of the email.
The point of Superhuman Go is to reduce switching between apps, repetitive tasks, and research time. Go connects to over 100 major platforms, including Slack, Outlook, Gmail, and Google Docs. It applies the data from them all to tailor its suggestions and automate your work.
For Grammarly users, that means help rewriting a clunky paragraph is informed by the last client meeting you wrote notes about, and it will remind you what tasks you have to complete based on the meeting, while drafting a status update.
Superhuman Grammarly
Grammarly writing agents are getting a boost just by being within Superhuman Go. The context provided by Go's link to your information can elevate Grammarly's subject matter expertise, measurement of originality, predictions of how audiences will react to a piece of writing, and the option to calibrate tone to meet your writing goals. It’s still Grammarly under the hood, just with a much bigger map of your work life.
Proactive, integrated AI is the North Star for productivity tools these days. A glance at Microsoft Copilot, Google’s Duet AI, and several other services is all angled around predicting and fulfilling needs. Superhuman boasts about how it combines simplicity and depth as a way of standing out. Unlike AI tools that feel like separate tabs or prompts, Go operates more like a persistent layer across your workspace
Whether Grammarly loyalists will cheer the changes is as uncertain. Grammarly is now powered by AI models, but it's been narrowly focused in a way some people prefer. The risk in this rebrand is overwhelming those users with too much new complexity, or making the system feel like it’s hovering over you and helping when it's unwanted.
If you like the idea of an AI assistant anticipating your needs without prompting, you may be thrilled that Superhuman might note you are finishing a report and immediately offer you a summary based on your updates and whoever is tagged within. Or instead of searching your inbox for a flight confirmation number, you see a highlighted message with it when check-in time arrives. Trusting AI that far might be hard for people to do. If the company wants to get people on board with its ambitions, it will have to live up to its new name.
