Hey folks, @rahulvohra here from Superhuman 👋 At the start of the year, it was clear that LLMs would change how we work. At Superhuman, we naturally wondered how LLMs could be useful when reading and writing email. And of course, it wasn’t just us wondering. LLM features rapidly became our top user request, eclipsing the next most requested features by orders of magnitude! We quickly created a small but plucky AI team. It was chaotic, and at times painful. But we persevered. I am now thrilled to share that Superhuman AI is available to all customers! To get going, reload Superhuman, and then hit Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) → Activate Superhuman AI. To use Superhuman AI, just hit Cmd+J or Ctrl+J in any email. With Superhuman AI, you can: 🗯️ Turn an idea into an email Just jot down some phrases, and we’ll turn them into a fully written email. And best of all, the email sounds like you do. Superhuman AI matches the voice and tone in the emails you’ve already sent, applying that to everything it creates. ⚡ Reply in an instant Just give us a few words, and we’ll turn them into a complete reply. Superhuman AI has context from the previous messages, so you can be short and to the point. 💎 Polish your writing Fix spelling and grammar, improve clarity, change length, and more — all with just a few keystrokes. You can even rewrite emails to be in your own voice. 📖 Summarize long conversations We’ve all struggled with long conversations. Worse, we’ve replied or forwarded, making even more work for our colleagues and coworkers. Just use Superhuman AI to summarize. You’ll go much faster, and everybody else will too. 👉 As a special thank you to the Product Hunt community, you get $60 of free Superhuman if you signup at superhuman.com/producthunt! 👈 We are all so excited to hear what you think! Please do reply here and let me know 🙏

Don't see ai options anywhere, right click, commands, shortcuts, nothing?
Kara Armstrong
@william_wright3 👋 you should be able to get started now with Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) → Activate Superhuman AI
@rahulvohra FINALLY 😭😭😭 This is what I’ve been waiting for! Can you please confirm if it’s available to all existing users because I can’t seem to access it 🙁
William Wright
@rahulvohra @mahad_ahmed, I just tried the command and it worked. You guys should really put in this post and/or website and/or the app something that displays how to use it :)!
@william_wright3 Thanks 🙏 I see the shortcut to activate it. Curious if SH shares share our data anonymized or not 😅

I've been banging on the doors to get access to Superhuman's AI for months — all the way back in March — an eternity in AI land! And now, here it is! As expected, the implementation is elegant and subtle — staying out of the way until you need it. No doubt there'll be more improvements to come, but having a personalized AI agent that can write emails on my behalf and in my voice? — yes, this is exactly what being Superhuman is all about. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

Superhuman are absolute rockstars when it comes to implementing every feature. So much thought goes behind each and every improvement, and they somehow never make the product feel more bloated, and absolutely NEVER slow the experience down. Superhuman AI is no different, in fact, it's a perfect example of them making things *faster*. I must admit, it took some getting used to, having an AI assistant in my inbox with me. But more and more I am finding myself using it to get back to emails — especially the ones I know I should have replied to yesterday. It really helps kick off a draft and eliminate the "blank canvas" issue I often face. Keep it up, Superhuman team! Always an inspiration! ❤️
Alana Tees
@jamesjgill Thank you so much for the kind words, James! It means a lot 💜
Rahul Vohra
@jamesjgill aww thank you James!! I'm a huge fan of your writing also 😄
Tim Raiter
I have been using Superhuman for years now and this is one of the best, obvious and needed feature, implemented in the best possible way. It would be great if I can fix AI drafts instantly in the AI modal screen. Many times I wanted to fix something small before hit "enter", or even continue working with this draft with AI tool, before I actually get the result in the email screen. Thanks!
Rahul Vohra
@timraiter thank you, your words have made our collective days! we did think about letting you edit in the AI modal directly, but then we'd have a textarea in a textarea, and we thought it would get confusing. but maybe it wouldn't be that bad!
Tim Raiter
Also, curious, there is an always available option "rewrite in my Voice". Shouldn't it be by default? Probably all AI drafts should be "in my voice", so then I can make them shorter, longer, and summarize. I will never need a corporate and super official or really funky voice in my emails :)
Tyler Berry
@timraiter we built it to write in your voice by default! We chose to keep the option in the menu as well for times where it didn't write quite on-brand in the first pass, or where you are using the AI to edit some text that's already in your email body.
Tyler Berry
@timraiter we chose to not allow direct editing in the results window, but you can always give it a follow-up prompt to keep tweaking the result! just type your instructions in the input field right below the result and hit enter to give it some follow-up directions. I often tell it to add a concept or to fill in a placeholder in the first result i get back.
Jessica Chen Riolfi
Congrats on the launch! Can you talk a bit about how you guys are dealing with data privacy here?
Rahul Vohra
@jessicakchen we use various models of ChatGPT under the hood, so please only use Superhuman AI if you would be comfortable doing the same thing via ChatGPT. (As you probably know, OpenAI has committed to not using data provided via the API as training data.)
Jessica Chen Riolfi
@rahulvohra Got it! I assume then it will be possible to use Superhuman without using Superhuman AI? Or that we can apply Superhuman AI to certain mailboxes but not others? (I'm specifically thinking that work email is more sensitive.)
Tyler Berry
@rahulvohra @jessicakchen during early access, Superhuman AI is an opt-in feature that you can enable for each individual email address you have in Superhuman. So in your example, you could turn it on for a personal account only. Just switch to that account in Superhuman, hit CMD+K (or CTRL+K), and type 'AI' to find the activation path 🙏 The setup process does reference some of your recent emails to get a sense of your writing style, but after setup it will only show up when you tell it to (by hitting CMD+J in a conversation) and only gets access to that current conversation's context when you send it instructions.
Megan Wesolowski
Superhuman has built a truly integrated product that does things only it can do. I have had access for a few weeks and, I will have to say 1) the ability to write in my particular voice, and 2) summarize conversations, are two of the most powerful and unique features. Right now, most AI features real value is saving you the time of copying and pasting from Chatgpt. But Superhuman is doing something different by doing things you otherwise wouldn't be able to do with external AI tools.
Rahul Vohra
aww thank you @megan_wesolowski for the thoughtful response!! lots of folks worked really hard on this, and so this means a lot to us 😄

@megan_wesolowski awesome to hear! What industry are you in? Curious how adaptable the Superhuman AI is!
Armin Li
Interesting, do AI features cost extra?
Rahul Vohra
@zhao_li1 whilst the feature is in Early Access, it's included for free! we've yet to figure out if and how we're going to charge for it

congrats on the launch! this looks awesome, would it be cool if I featured Superhuman on Astral? :)
Rahul Vohra
@thinkastral go for it!! 👌
Rahul Vohra
@thinkastral awesome!!
Kirk Fernandes
One of the better (more subdued) uses of generative AI.
Rahul Vohra
@kirk_fernandes1 aww thank you!! I'll take subdued and useful over ritzy and faddish any day 😄
Tyler Berry
@kirk_fernandes1 there's an early Figma board from this project with 'do the job well, then get out of the way' on it 🙏
Alana Tees
Massive congratulations on the launch today, team! 🎉 @rahulvohra @ka_ra @thewifipirate
Congratulations to the Superhuman team for launching this amazing AI-powered email tool! ,@rahulvohra, how does the AI handle different writing styles? Can it adapt to formal and informal tones?
Rahul Vohra
Hey @ricardo_luz! It will analyze emails that you've recently sent and match the voice and tone of those. It will also take into account the context of the thread so far, and that can help tune the voice too! I've seen it write formally, informally, and in between :)
Andrei Costea
Woah ?makers, this is incredible! Best of luck with your launch! 🚀🌟
Rahul Vohra
@andrei_costea2 thank you!! 😄
Nimrod Kramer
Best feature ever. The option that rewrites in my own voice is priceless!
Rahul Vohra
@nimrodkramer it is turning out to be a fan favorite!! 😄
Jack Khrapkov
Congrats on the launch! I saw that Superhuman saves 3 hours every single week. How did you guys measure that? Don't get me wrong, I'm just interested from a marketing perspective - as time-saving is one of the biggest values AI could provide, but sometimes it's challenging to calculate the difference.
Rahul Vohra
@jack_khrapkov great question! We approach this in two ways: (1) measuring how long it takes to do things in in Gmail and Outlook vs Superhuman (e.g. everything from setting a reminder, to writing and sending an email), and then (2) asking users how much time they think we've saved them. Both ways triangulate on the same result of 3 or more hours a week 🙂 We have yet to incorporate it in the marketing, but we also just finished another pre/post analysis that you might find interesting. We found that the in the 30 days after Superhuman compared to the 30 days before Superhuman, response rate (defined as emails replied to and sent in a given time period) went up 2x, and response time decreased by 5-13 hours!
Iren from FirstHR
I really enjoy using Superhuman. It's great!
Rahul Vohra
@iren_ivashchinenko aww thank you!! 😄
Reif Tauati
I use the summarize feature when forwarding to colleagues so they do not have to “spelunk” the whole thread. It is great!
Rahul Vohra
@reiftauati awesome — you're saving everybody huge swathes of time!
Kian Kolahdouzan
Superhuman AI is one of the few instances where generative AI is integrated into a productivity tool in such a way that it maintains real utility and doesn't feel out of place compared to the rest of the app. As someone who is constantly drafting emails to external contacts to my org, it has been a game changer in my speed to reply back and draft emails that contain complex thoughts that need to get simplified quickly. Kudos to the team for this awesome launch 🙌
Rahul Vohra
@kiandouz thank you Kian — so glad it's been helpful!! so much more yet to come 😄
Bjarn Bronsveld
So this can takeover all my emails? 🤓 Awesome!
Rahul Vohra
@bjarnbronsveld it can certainly save you a ton of time! 😄
Hey @rahulvohra, congrats on the launch. The biggest use-case I see is for sales folks given how this domain is panning out. Did you guys try and test this for that persona?
Rahul Vohra
@naman_agrawal3 we've tested with sales type emails it and performs well, although we've designed this for all kinds of emailing! it really shines when you want to quickly respond to something.
André J
I guess we can always blame the AI if we say something wrong now 😏
