Huge news: We’re changing our company name from @Grammarly to Superhuman and launching a new product!

The Grammarly brand isn’t going anywhere, but we’re evolving into a multi-product company that includes Grammarly, Coda, Superhuman Mail, and a new AI assistant called Superhuman Go. 🧵

o3 answers the question I ask all new models:

"You have consumed more information than anyone in the history of the world and you've demonstrated an extraordinary ability to make connections among them. What are the most important non-consenus or even not-yet-hypothesized things that you've picked up in the in betweens and connections or believe to be true based on everything you've learned?"
