Grammarly, an AI-driven communication platform, has announced plans to acquire Superhuman, a high-speed email application built around AI. The acquisition will accelerate Grammarly’s strategy to build a broader AI productivity platform centered around intelligent agents. With professionals spending significant time in their inboxes, Grammarly sees email as a strategic surface for expanding multi-agent functionality. Grammarly CEO Shishir Mehrotra stated, “This is the future we’ve been building toward since day one: AI that works where people work, not where companies want them to work. With Superhuman, we can deliver that future to millions more professionals while giving our existing users another surface for agent collaboration that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else. Email isn’t just another app; it’s where professionals spend significant portions of their day, and it’s the perfect staging ground for orchestrating multiple AI agents simultaneously.”
Superhuman brings a strong foundation, with 94% of its weekly active users already utilizing AI. According to Grammarly, users send and respond to 72% more emails per hour after adopting Superhuman. Rahul Vohra, CEO of Superhuman, added, “By joining forces with Grammarly, we will invest even more in the core Superhuman experience, as well as create a new way of working where AI agents collaborate across the communication tools that we all use every day.” This move follows Grammarly’s earlier acquisition of Coda and aligns with its vision to deliver coordinated AI assistance across apps. With agents that can draft emails, schedule meetings, and analyze content contextually, Grammarly aims to redefine how professionals work.
