The company behind Grammarly is rebranding itself as Superhuman to capitalize on the AI frenzy. Its Grammarly edit tool will still exist, but it appears the company wants to draw more attention to its entire line of software, rather than just the freemium Grammarly.
“We’re evolving from a single product to a suite that includes Grammarly’s trusted writing partner, Coda’s all-in-one workspace, Superhuman Mail’s AI-native inbox, and a new product called Superhuman Go. These are all available today as a bundled subscription,” CEO Shishir Mehrotra wrote in a blog post.
Grammarly.com still exists, but a new Superhuman site is now live, offering access to the Superhuman Go suite for free or as a $144-per-year plan with premium features.
“The new name reflects the company’s evolution into an AI-native productivity platform for apps and agents,” Superhuman added. “Superhuman Go is available for free during early access via Grammarly for Chrome and Grammarly for Edge…. Go will also come to Mac and Windows soon after launch.”
Grammarly, which laid off 230 employees last year, is facing intense competition as heavyweights like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft release all kinds of AI-powered productivity tools for workers. In response, Grammarly/Superhuman is promising that its own software will give its 40 million+ daily active users “superpowers, everywhere you work.”
The newest product, Superhuman Go, is designed as a more powerful AI assistant that can operate in every application or browser tab. The company describes it as a “whole team of agents that can brainstorm, fetch information, send emails, schedule meetings, and more.” Grammarly is focused on one AI agent.

“It helps without you needing to ask. Everywhere you are, Go will look for opportunities to say something better, or do something faster,” Superhuman added.
“For example, Go will bring any information you need in-line, so you don’t have to pause what you’re doing to look something up. If you’re in a conversation thread, and someone suggests scheduling a meeting, Go will surface your availability and help you book the meeting in the moment. It’s a small time saver, but one that adds up to make a big difference,” the company said.

In addition, Superhuman Go can harness “multiple agents” when polishing the user’s writing. Users can also download other specialized agents and plug-ins to connect to third-party apps through the Superhuman store.
When asked about which models Superhuman Go uses, the company said: “We use a range of models and providers, regularly evaluating which models are best suited for which tasks.”
For users concerned about privacy and the AI agents collecting sensitive data, Superhuman noted: “The company does not sell or monetize user content, ensures users are in control of their data and own what they write, and does not allow its third-party service providers to train their models on user content.
“For existing Grammarly, Coda, and Superhuman Mail customers, nothing changes about the products they rely on. They gain access to new capabilities and a platform that makes everything work better together,” Superhuman added.

Experience
I’ve been a journalist for over 15 years. I got my start as a schools and cities reporter in Kansas City and joined PCMag in 2017, where I cover satellite internet services, cybersecurity, PC hardware, and more. I’m currently based in San Francisco, but previously spent over five years in China, covering the country’s technology sector.
Since 2020, I’ve covered the launch and explosive growth of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service, writing 600+ stories on availability and feature launches, but also the regulatory battles over the expansion of satellite constellations, fights with rival providers like AST SpaceMobile and Amazon, and the effort to expand into satellite-based mobile service. I’ve combed through FCC filings for the latest news and driven to remote corners of California to test Starlink’s cellular service.
I also cover cyber threats, from ransomware gangs to the emergence of AI-based malware. Earlier this year, the FTC forced Avast to pay consumers $16.5 million for secretly harvesting and selling their personal information to third-party clients, as revealed in my joint investigation with Motherboard.
I also cover the PC graphics card market. Pandemic-era shortages led me to camp out in front of a Best Buy to get an RTX 3000. I’m now following how President Trump’s tariffs will affect the industry. I’m always eager to learn more, so please jump in the comments with feedback and send me tips.
