AI-powered writing tool Grammarly acquires AI-native email app company Superhuman
In a significant move, Grammarly, the popular writing assistant, has announced its acquisition of Superhuman, an AI-driven email application. This strategic move marks Grammarly's evolution from a grammar correction tool into a comprehensive **AI-powered productivity suite**.
Email, a foundational element of any productivity suite, is the primary use case for Grammarly among professionals. With Superhuman on board, Grammarly will gain a crucial email platform, helping to revise over 50 million emails weekly across more than 20 email providers.
The acquisition aligns with Grammarly's broader vision of creating applications that act as intelligent agents collaborating with users. Superhuman, designed to help users respond to emails one to two days faster and save four hours each week on their email communications, will extend these productivity benefits to millions more professionals.
Key plans and benefits include making email a central communication surface, building an AI superhighway of productivity agents, accelerating AI innovation and team growth, and addressing AI fragmentation.
By integrating Superhuman, Grammarly aims to leverage the platform to deliver AI agents that work directly where users operate—inside their inbox—thus orchestrating workflows more seamlessly and efficiently than existing fragmented AI tools. This integration will also create a cohesive productivity platform where AI agents work collaboratively and contextually within key communication surfaces like email.
Superhuman's team, including CEO Rahul Vohra and over 100 employees, will join Grammarly. This integration provides Superhuman access to Grammarly's larger resources for AI investment and product development, potentially enhancing the capabilities of its AI-powered email assistant, which aids with follow-ups and team collaboration.
The new platform will allow for AI agents to collaborate across various communication tools used daily. Examples of agents that could be used include Grammarly's communication agent for spelling and grammar checks, a sales agent to verify sales facts, a support agent to provide context on recent customer issues, and a marketing agent to suggest optimal feature positioning.
In summary, Grammarly's acquisition of Superhuman represents a strategic expansion from writing assistance into a full AI-driven productivity platform that integrates deeply into professionals’ email workflows, enabling smarter, faster communication and broader AI-driven automation across numerous apps and websites. This sets the stage for a more agentic future where humans and AI work together seamlessly to boost productivity and streamline digital work ecosystems.
As Grammarly continues to evolve, it is shaping the future of work by transforming into a multi-product company with hundreds of intelligent, task-specific agents. Meanwhile, Superhuman is shaping the future of email and evolving into a holistic workspace for agents. The future of productivity is here, and it's more AI-driven than ever.
