I’ve been reading up on the pricing this morning.
The Superhuman Pro plan is equivalent to the Coda Pro plan, which means it has less functionality than the Coda Teams plan. I don’t think you can mix and match that in the same workplace. The functionality is entirely different.
And it’s complete crap. Here’s why:
These companies make claims every week that are vastly overstated. They aren’t transparent about the lack of productivity these brain fart designs cause. They are disjointed, ill-conceived, and mostly lies. Believe nothing until you’ve actually used these new ideas in your own production scenarios.
Anthropic has some impressive tech, and their skills implementation is brilliant. But you must also ask what their true motivation was for skills that load smartly to constrain the context. Their architecture is unable to break the small-window context as easily as Gemini and other competitors. Users (like me) building complex project system prompts were blocked because of this constraint. Anthropic took evasive action disguised as a stroke of brilliance. Gemini has had ‘skills’ since early 2024.
Well, you’ve saddled up with two opposing vendors. At the outset, a Gemini skill (based on the Gems architecture) is infinitely more deterministic than an unskilled Claude episode. And it can execute natively inside Workspaces. There are a lot of issues with Google too, but not nearly the impact of selecting two divergent competitors.
This pattern is simply counterproductive, but you chose it. Why?
Thanks you, really thank you. For me, and I am sure many with me, it is wonderful to hear that Coda is going to be “bigger and better” - we have so much energy invested in becoming Coda experts.
The integration in the Superhuman suite should benefit many, looking forward to learning new tools and skills.
Pumped about all of these developments, but this lil’ guy piqued my interest:
I’m interested to learn more about this, particularly as it relates to some work I do with large sets of project management docs based off of a single template. Could simplify (and improve perf) on some of the aggregation stuff I have going.
Anyway, congrats to the team for this, it’s exciting to see the Grammarly strategy coming into full focus.
Hello, this is exciting!
I’m currently paying for Coda. Can I please get access to Grammarly and Superhuman Go? I notice that if I subscribe to Superhuman, I get all 3. But I want to ensure I wouldn’t lose my all my Coda content as a result of switching this early in the merger.
Please advise—thanks!
First off cool update, I got superhuman working but a couple bugs I noticed is the panel disappears and you cant get it back. Then the google extension shows this:
And it has no link to bring up the toolbar again. It also had alot of issues linking to gmail, I never got it to work. I also tried to use it to write a formula , but the formula never worked and it wasnt sure if I was using coda or airtable or notion even though I was in coda. It ended up messing up formula formats.
I’m very curious about this as well. I wonder if Cloud storage can be linked as a data base like dropbox or google drive, and also a better way to store images in coda.
This could be a great way to only render in information that’s needed at the doc level and keep all your data bases in a more secured location that can be accessed across all docs.
Hi, really excited about this update and I look forward to finally trying out superhuman.
Are there any plans to add unified inbox feature to superhuman?
On that note, can I connect multiple accounts to my primary superhuman account (for example, personal, work account 2 under my address here if I sign up to superhuman with this email)?
Thanks,
Ok ill be voice of truth … is Coda becoming marketing funnel for Grammarly??
It just feels weird , now both grammarly and coda becomes just part of bigger system i get it … now what? Coda is officially dead? The plan seems not clear to all products , i wished there more transparency …
To be honest , community is the only thing left here, and i just left coda doesnt fit any of my needs anymore
Anyway good luck ,
In the distant future, will it be possible to share a single page with these new superhuman abilities?
Yes you can add as many email inboxes as you want, Superhuman Mail is “per human” not email inbox.
Superhuman Go plugins doesn’t have Coda in the list. I understand why, but from UJ the first thing a user asked me was - “how add this summary to coda” and they looked for it in the plugins 
I got the screenshot below last night, and still getting it this morning. Also, the Get Superhuman link simply hangs.
The Link to the Coda doc with pricing information is very vague, simply assurances that nothing is going to change.
This announcement is clearly not geared toward people just wanting a simple, basic no-code user experience.
Thanks! I hate it.
I just want my coda docs full of databases and text to function and to be able to share them internally and/or publicly. Instead, we get vague announcements about AI features. I have AI apps for things I want ai involved in. I don’t want or need AI in everything, especially considering that coda ai doesn’t even know coda formulas!
I find it interesting that the superhuman page touts slack integrations when coda isn’t even in a tool in slack workflow builder ( Automate your way to a shorter day | Slack ).
God forbid someone wishes to use a coda doc on mobile….
This sucks.
I get the hate, I’m actually still in shock, I don’t have one thought.
The good: moving forward with the idea of “a context which we can plug to our agents”, fine!
The bad: the design they chose.
I’m actually a bit offended to have a robot telling me and my team how to write, specially when I manage projects with artists of various mediums. So having the classic Coda, agnostic as it is, is a must for me. If I’m pushed to THAT superhuman, I’m out. BUT if Coda allows me to build my own agents, or Superhuman allows me to build my own agents (like a built-in N8N for us makers, or a customGPT style, whatever), THEN I might think twice.
I’m kind of at a loss. I don’t really get the vision of how this can work for organizations (like us!) that use Coda as a way to disseminate personalized information across a couple hundred users who aren’t really that tech savvy.
It’s hard to get excited about this when I can’t even open up any of our main docs in the Coda iOS app, share specific pages of a doc with different groups, or even have docs on custom domains without them being public.
Maybe I’m not what Superhuman sees as its future user (even though I literally used Superhuman, Coda, and Grammarly for years), but I’m kind of asking myself… who is this for?
This kind of feels like unnecessary SF futurism.
Like, it doesn’t have to be so bold. Just make a couple good products that solve real, current issues for people. Don’t invent new problems that only hypothetically apply to the AI elite.
Coda makers, I think, don’t want to be superhuman. They want to be thoughtful, creative people that solve complicated problems. These two feel at odds.
Aside, we pay a full-staff member just to maintain our Coda docs and databases. This has me really concerned about how much we’ve invested in the Coda ecosystem. I always felt like the Coda team and leadership was in it for the long haul, but it feels like that’s less the case.
Hopefully I’m wrong and all of this comes to gather in a beautiful, functional way.
Oh, I didn’t notice thy lil’ guy. Interesting. Does that mean I can cancel my airtable subscription? Even more, does it mean I don’t have to migrate my airtable data to PostgresSQL?
Warning! Be very careful when you try to sign up for superhuman.
Problem: My company has a grammarly account. When you sign up for grammarly with the company domain, the company immediately rejects the sign-up. My coda account is on the company email address.
Solution? ChatGPT suggested that the only way to avoid losing all my coda docs, is to sign up for superhuman business under a different email address. That’s what I did.
New Problem: But somehow, the signup page knew that I have a coda account on my company email address, ignored the new email address I provided and created my superhuman account under the company email. Now I am paying twice for coda under the company email address! And I still don’t know what will happen if they realise the company domain has a grammarly subscription….
And this is what Superhuman does: It creates a new team, which means you now pay for two teams/workspaces.
FFF - Familiar frustration feeling! My understanding with Coda is that UI, UX and UJ is still largely neglected; like the communities opinion. For 9 years great features are sandwiched between weak backend and bad UX. I had this FFF for a few years, and looked like the “always negative person” in this community. Just the mix of passion and frustration sometimes makes people look like this. Now it’s more of an apathy and acceptance. I have hope but trust is (almost) gone.
At this moment, my expectation is that they will NOT listen to the community; rather will build what they decide with their weird illogical selection method (btw, they seem to desperately need an empathy course from design thinking - we shout out needs in their face and they turn backs instead). Might sound rough but better use what Coda provides and find alternatives for what it doesn’t.
As to Superhuman (after a bit of testing) brings the same vibes - mediocrity in UX, lack of QA and no user-validation (UI actually looks quite nice to me). I am not a developer, but user with 700+ pro apps experience and running innovations projects for companies on daily basis and for 30 min I couldn’t find a useful case?! 90% of all my employees in all 4 companies would never ever have interest in using it if I can’t find an obvious use case for 1 min, let alone 30 min. If it wasn’t for the longstanding passion for Coda features, I would’ve not spent more than 10 min with this product - like it happens with dozens of technologies daily that I test and rule out.
Hope is here. Trust… Coda needs to earn it back by listening more!
PS: Could’ve shared this in PM but it feels like it’s not uncommon feeling and Codans need to know about it.
