Grammarly announced its intent to acquire the email application Superhuman, as detailed in a recent press release. This strategic move aims to integrate Grammarly’s AI-powered writing assistance directly into a dedicated email platform, leveraging email’s existing prominence as a primary function for its professional users.
“Grammarly is evolving into a productivity platform for apps and agents, moving toward a multi-product company with hundreds of intelligent, task-specific agents,” the company says. “Email represents the ideal environment for this multi-agent assistance, with professionals spending more than three hours daily in their inboxes and email remaining foundational to any productivity suite.”
Grammarly reports that its AI assistant currently revises over 50 million emails weekly across more than 20 email providers. This acquisition aligns with the company’s stated goal of evolving into a comprehensive productivity platform for applications and AI agents. The company envisions becoming a multi-product entity, deploying numerous intelligent, task-specific agents to enhance user productivity.
Grammarly views email as an optimal environment for multi-agent assistance, citing that professionals spend more than three hours daily in their inboxes. Email remains foundational to any productivity suite, according to the company. The planned “future platform” will facilitate scenarios where users can interact with multiple agents concurrently, such as communication agents, sales agents, support agents, and marketing agents collaborating on tasks like drafting a customer memo.
The acquisition follows Grammarly’s late-last-year acquisition of the productivity startup Coda. Following that transaction, Coda co-founder and CEO Shishir Mehrotra assumed the role of CEO for the combined Grammarly-Coda entity.
