Superhuman just overhauled its auto-draft feature, tapping frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI to write email replies matching the user's natural tone. The system drafts three response variations and learns from edits; co-founder Rahul Vohra revealed that 60% of drafts during testing were sent completely unedited. Why it matters: email AI might finally stop sounding like a pushy chatbot.
Grammarly's parent company Superhuman just disabled its Expert Review feature after severe backlash and a class action lawsuit. The tool used LLMs to generate writing feedback under the names of famous living and dead authors without their consent. CEO Shishir Mehrotra confirmed the feature is now paused for reassessment.
Grammarly just got caught using the names and identities of journalists and professors to power its AI writing feedback—without asking for permission. The "Expert Review" feature generates comments mimicking specific writers, though tests found broken source links and outdated titles. Why it matters: Packaging real living people into AI personas crosses a clear ethical line, especially when the generated advice contradicts how those editors actually work.
Grammarly just announced plans to acquire AI-native email app Superhuman to turn the inbox into a launching pad for autonomous agents. With email already its top use case, Grammarly wants to combine Superhuman with its recent Coda acquisition to orchestrate multi-agent workflows. Why it matters: Writing assistants are racing to evolve into comprehensive agent platforms.
Superhuman just rolled out an AI-powered Auto Label feature that automatically sorts emails into buckets like marketing or pitches, while letting users build custom tags using text prompts to auto-archive noise. The update also adds AI-generated follow-up drafts matching your personal tone when sent emails go unanswered.
Superhuman just launched Instant Reply, a feature that precomputes three complete draft replies for every incoming email. Unlike basic short suggestions, these are full responses tailored to match your personal tone, ready to send with just Tab and Enter. Early testers reportedly replied twice as fast.
Superhuman just detailed how it developed Superhuman AI in under three months, ditching traditional roadmaps for high-intensity executive involvement. The team prioritized on-demand drafting over preemptive automation to control costs, which helped drive four consecutive weeks of record growth.
