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. 🧵
Had so much fun dissecting how building AI tools is just like building toys with @lshackleton yesterday at #Config2025
We chatted constraints, serendipity, starter kits & sharing toys, talk will be shared soon! 🧸🪀🪁🎲
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.

Fun day!
So excited for what we're going to build together.
It's been an incredible 9 years at Coda, and very excited about the next chapter with the @Grammarly team!
