Overview
What Superhuman is
Superhuman is now called Superhuman Mail, distinguishing the email product from the broader Superhuman company and suite. The app connects to a Google- or Microsoft 365-hosted mailbox and replaces the everyday Gmail or Outlook interface with a faster, shortcut-driven workflow across web, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android.
Its strongest value is not a single AI writing feature. Superhuman combines Split Inbox, automatic labels and archiving, reply and follow-up drafts, natural-language inbox search, calendar actions, read statuses and team comments into one tightly designed email workflow. It is best suited to people who spend enough time in email to justify a per-member subscription and who are willing to learn its keyboard-first habits.
Use cases
Who Superhuman is best for

Keyboard-first power users
Move through email, search, scheduling and commands without repeatedly reaching for a mouse.

Capabilities
Core Superhuman features
Split Inbox and Auto Labels
Separate messages by team, VIP, tool, response need or a custom AI-defined category so the most important work remains visible.
Auto Archive
Move recurring marketing, social and low-priority messages out of the main inbox according to configured rules.
AI writing and tone matching
Turn short notes or dictated ideas into polished emails that use patterns from the user's existing sent messages.
Auto Drafts and Instant Reply
Prepare contextual responses before or while a message is opened, with the user reviewing the result before sending.
Ask AI
Ask natural-language questions across the inbox, calendar and web instead of relying only on sender names and exact keywords.
Automatic thread summaries
Show a concise, updating summary above a conversation so a user can recover context without rereading every message.
Follow-up management
Resurface sent messages when no reply arrives and, where enabled, prepare the next follow-up draft.
Calendar and scheduling tools
Share availability, find team meeting times and turn a message into a calendar event without leaving the email workflow.
Team comments and shared conversations
Discuss an email internally, share context and avoid duplicate replies without forwarding screenshots or copying a thread elsewhere.
Snippets and send controls
Reuse approved text, schedule messages, snooze conversations and track when supported recipients open an email.
CRM integrations
Business plans connect with HubSpot and Salesforce so customer-facing teams can work with email and CRM context.
Superhuman Mail MCP
Business users can connect supported AI assistants to Gmail and Outlook context for search, summaries, drafts and approved email or calendar actions.
Process
How the Superhuman workflow works
Step 1
Connect a supported mailbox
Sign in with a Google or Microsoft 365 account and grant the email, calendar and contact permissions required by the app.
Step 2
Install the preferred clients
Use the Chrome-based web experience, native Mac or Windows app and the iOS or Android app as needed.
Step 3
Configure the inbox
Set up Split Inbox, Auto Labels and Auto Archive rules around VIPs, response needs and recurring low-value mail.
Step 4
Learn the core shortcuts
Practice search, reply, archive, snooze, follow-up and command-palette shortcuts until the faster workflow becomes automatic.
Step 5
Enable AI selectively
Turn on summaries, personalized writing, Auto Drafts, Ask AI and knowledge sources according to the team's privacy and plan requirements.
Step 6
Review and refine
Check suggested labels, summaries and drafts, correct mistakes, and keep human approval in front of external messages and calendar actions.

Assessment
Superhuman strengths and limitations
Where it stands out
- Fast, cohesive email workflow built around shortcuts
- Useful combination of triage, drafting, search and follow-up automation
- Native apps across desktop and mobile
- Supports both Google- and Microsoft 365-hosted accounts
- Strong calendar integration inside the inbox
- Team comments and collision detection reduce duplicate work
- Personalized drafts can use inbox, calendar, web and uploaded knowledge context

What to consider
- The recurring per-member price is high compared with the email clients included with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
- Self-hosted Exchange, generic IMAP and other mailbox types are not supported
- Superhuman is an interface on top of a supported mailbox, not an independent email hosting service
- There is no unified inbox; users switch between connected accounts
- Accounts added on desktop must be added again on mobile
- Auto Drafts, Ask AI, Mail MCP, CRM integrations and other advanced features require Business or Enterprise
- The fastest workflow takes time to learn and depends heavily on keyboard shortcuts
- AI summaries, labels, search answers and drafts can be wrong and need review
- Connecting the app requires broad mailbox, calendar and contact permissions that some organizations must approve or allowlist
- Open tracking is not a guaranteed signal that a person meaningfully read a message and may be blocked by recipient privacy controls
- AI-written external messages can sound confident while missing relationship or business context
- The broader Superhuman suite and a la carte Mail subscriptions have different migration and entitlement paths for some existing customers

Does Superhuman work with Gmail and Outlook?
It supports accounts hosted by Google and Microsoft 365. Superhuman says self-hosted Exchange and other mailbox types are not currently supported.
Is Superhuman now Grammarly?
The former Grammarly parent company adopted the Superhuman name in October 2025. The email app became Superhuman Mail and now sits alongside Grammarly, Superhuman Docs and Superhuman Go in the wider suite.

Bottom line
Our Superhuman verdict
Superhuman Mail is most valuable when email is a genuine operational bottleneck. Its shortcut-driven interface, proactive AI and follow-up discipline can create a meaningfully faster daily workflow, especially for executives, salespeople and customer-facing teams. The main decision is economic: occasional email users will struggle to justify $25-$40 per member each month, while heavy users may find the integrated speed and control worth more than another collection of disconnected email add-ons.
