Exciting News: Grammarly to acquire Superhuman

Hello!

I’m excited to share that Grammarly has agreed to acquire Superhuman, the AI-native email app that helps professionals respond faster and reclaim hours every week. This milestone accelerates our transformation into a productivity platform for apps and intelligent agents, with email as a foundational surface where those agents can collaborate.

Combining Superhuman’s innovative email experience with Grammarly’s trusted AI assistant, we’ll introduce a growing suite of task-specific agents that work seamlessly across the tools you already use. Imagine drafting a customer proposal as Grammarly perfects its tone, a sales agent verifies pricing details (backed by Coda Brain), and a support agent adds recent ticket context—all without ever leaving your inbox.

I understand you may have questions. Here are answers to a few we anticipate:

Why did Grammarly agree to acquire Superhuman? Grammarly is evolving into an AI productivity platform for apps and agents—and with Superhuman, we can accelerate that evolution. This journey started with our acquisition of Coda which gives Grammarly a workspace to write with AI from start to finish, calling on agents for information along the way. Following in the next step, Superhuman brings email, the number-one use case of Grammarly for professionals, into the picture. It is a central component to Grammarly’s vision of an agentic future.

Will Coda’s product change? We’re currently investing in improving your Coda docs experience, as you can see in Lane’s post. We also have a number of ideas from the Superhuman acquisition that will be brought over to the Coda products as well — more on this later. In any case, we’ll continue to invest heavily in the product you love, and you can expect new and improved features in the next few months.

How can I learn more? Visit the Grammarly blog for the full announcement and additional details.

Stay tuned— we’ll share more details in the coming months.

Wow, that’s interesting. What is the strategy and future vision? How Coda, Grammarly, and Superhuman could work all together - if that’s intended?

Incredible news! Typing this back to you from Superhuman right now. I’m a heavy user of both products.

Why was this reply BLOCKED ???

The comment is valid and polite and perfectly aligned with l’esprit de corps of this community.
It may be pointing out a negative view on the product.
But that has never been disallowed here before!

It does contain a link at the end to the authors own website.
So it does have some blatent self-promotion going on at the bottom.

Is that now grounds for having our comments blocked?

Is that a new policy? Or have I just missed it in the past?

THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE:
This forum is one of the BEST in the industry for its spirit of openess, helpfulness, friendlyness, and supportiveness to ALL levels and types of Coda makers.

But that is FRAGILE. I have seen so many similar forums decent into nastiness and petulance because of poor moderation. So I am a supporter of strict moderation. (I have blocked several posts myself on these grounds).

But I feel the blocking in this particular case is unwise.
Are we not allowed to make negative comments on the product features?

This reply may not be in the ideal thread. And the ‘self promotion’ at the end stands out as quite unusual for this forum.

So if those are the reasons for the blocking, fair enough. But please make the policy clearer.

As it stands, this has the appearance of moderators not liking anyone to criticize the Coda product or strategy.

And that is unfortunate.

Respect,
Max
