Superhuman Launches AI Email Drafts as 40% Were Sent Within 1 Day in Testing

Summary
Superhuman rolled out an upgraded auto-draft tool that flags emails needing replies and writes responses in a user’s tone, with two alternate versions available for quick selection.
40% of generated drafts were sent within one day during testing, and 60% of those went out without manual edits, according to co-founder Rahul Vohra.
The feature still misfires—often defaulting to overly positive pitch replies or accepting post-midnight meetings—but it adapts from user behavior and can correct similar suggestions later.
Superhuman says the upgrade relies on a mix of Anthropic and OpenAI frontier models, replacing older GPT-3.5-based features such as Instant Replies that sounded more robotic.
The launch fits Superhuman’s broader push after Grammarly’s acquisition last year, as it builds the cross-platform assistant Superhuman Go to carry context between apps.
