As mentioned in Shishir’s post today:
- The new name of the company is Superhuman
- We launched a new AI assistant product called Superhuman Go
- Agents in Superhuman Go are powered by Packs
To get a feel for what it is like to use an agent, try installing one from the store. Most of the agents there are the good 'ol Packs you know and love, with a sprinkle of extra code to make them work better with the LLM.
While we are eager to invite all Pack makers to join us in creating agents, the developer experience still has some rough edges we need to take care of first. For the moment, the ability to build, test and publish an agent is only available to select partners. We expect to be in this closed beta phase for a few months.
You can get a sneak peek into the technical details in the new Agents section of the Packs SDK documentation. There you can also learn how to apply to get early access to the platform, either as a partner or a customer. If you have any questions let us know!

@Eric_Koleda,
as usual, your documentation is extremely clear and well crafted.. well done!
For some years now, when people ask me if I will hang-in with Coda even though it is not the leading platform etc; I always replied that I was a surfer paddling out there on my surf-board waiting for that big wave to ride - that the big wave would come some day.
Well today I feel that the wave is visible on the horizon.
All these announcements have given us great hope and excitement for the future of Coda Packs (ahem.. Superhuman Agents).

I have completed an analysis of the new SDK for agents and presented my findings to my clients.
We are all mightily impressed indeed.
Congratulations to the Superhuman Go team for a wonderful work of solid engineering.
It is very clear that this is not your usual Beta, nor an MVP, nor even a Version 1.0!
It has all the hallmarks of a pedigree of previous versions, lessons learned, refactorings, and a more mature architecture.
No doubt this is the legacy of the previous “Coda Brain“ development efforts.
So hats off to the whole team, well done indeed. In this time of great noise and hype around AI Agents and RAG technologies and LLM legend and lore - this is a unique vision and value proposition that feels grounded, solid, and well engineered.
I was hopeful but a little doubtful when @shishir and others articulated their future roadmap. It was not obvious to me how Coda Packs could just ‘magically‘ be turned into context aware agents.
Well, the new SDK makes it very clear indeed how this can be achieved easily, and straightforwardly by non AI engineers.
As Darth Vader is fond of saying …
“Impressive! … Most Impressive!“

Indeed, I have struggled with this claim, and with your guidance and the new SDK, I’ve come to understand what that pathway looks like.
However…
Isn’t it a little more accurate to say that today’s Packs are tools, not agents per se, and that tomorrow’s Packs will be agents that utilize these tools?
Note: This is not an attempt to create tension concerning the definition of ‘agent’. Rather, I’m simply trying to resolve a clear articulation of what the 800 existing Packs truly represent.
yes.
packs are tools.
superhuman go agents are more agentic now.
but in future we need a way to harness them into our coda workflows the way packs are today.
these new SH Go agents are exclusevely for personal use, i need agents that enhance corporate and departmental business operations. we have a way to go yet.

Second that!
Most of the users just need a button to click and it does magics all around and tell them how great they are for clicking the button. I understand them very well - I want the same for my accounting, and have somehow achieve it
Indeed. Totally agree.
The only role I see for Superhuman Go agents to be involved at this [operational] level, and to affect business operations, is in an orchestration role, right? For example, you’d use the real-time presence in an app to combine its context with a messaging objective to initiate an agentic process that performs various tasks external to the [personal] context.
A short (10 min) presentation on my research into the new Superhuman Go Agent builder SDK which I presented to a small gathering last week. (Thanks to @Nina_Ledid for hosting).

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Our Coda community is so lucky to have you! Thanks so much for sharing your insights in such an approachable and interesting manner!
