Founded in 2009, Grammarly has built a user base of more than 40 million people and expanded in recent years with the addition of the workspace platform Coda and email service Superhuman Mail. With its new identity, Superhuman intends to become a full AI productivity platform that operates quietly in the background of everyday work, according to the company's announcement post. The new Superhuman brand is an effort to build an "AI-native" platform designed to work across the tools people already use by combining the functions of each brand into one bundled subscription.
The rebrand also includes the launch of a new product called Superhuman Go, an AI assistant that can operate across multiple apps and workflows.
"Superhuman represents a fundamental shift in how we think about AI at work," said Shishir Mehrotra, CEO of Superhuman. "The name Superhuman reflects our belief that AI should amplify human capability, not replace it or force people to adapt to its limitations."

The assistant connects to over 100 apps, including Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Jira and Confluence. It uses what the company calls "agents," small AI modules trained for specific tasks like summarizing or retrieving data.
Chief Product Officer Noam Lovinsky said the goal is to reduce friction rather than add new tools to manage.
