The tech sector stabilizes this week after AI concerns sent software stocks into a tailspin last week, with many developers worrying that artificial intelligence could replace software tools and human programmers altogether. Superhuman (formerly Grammarly) CEO Shishir Mehrotra speaks with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi about how the software space is adapting to AI integration, Superhuman's own AI assistant programs, and how the company sees its suite of AI tools aiding and enhancing the work of human workers.
Grammarly rebrands as Superhuman, unveiling a suite of AI‑powered products—including Superhuman Go, Coda, and Superhuman Mail—that work everywhere you type, proactively assist with writing, research, scheduling, and more.
**Summary of “Becoming Superhuman” (Grammarly → Superhuman announcement)**
- **Rebranding:** Grammarly is changing its corporate name to **Superhuman** while the Grammarly product will continue to exist under the new umbrella.
- **New product suite:** The Superhuman suite now bundles four offerings:
1. **Grammarly** (the trusted writing assistant)
2. **Coda** (an all‑in‑one collaborative workspace)
3. **Superhuman Mail** (an AI‑native email inbox)
4. **Superhuman Go** (the flagship AI layer that works everywhere).
- **Superhuman Go:**
- Functions in any app or web tab, not just a single interface.
- Proactively surfaces information, drafts replies, schedules meetings, and pulls data from CRMs, calendars, etc., **without the user having to ask**.
- Allows third‑party agents via the **Superhuman Agents SDK**, so companies can embed their own chatbots or tools directly into the Go experience.
- Early partner agents include Common Room, Radical Candor, Fireflies, Parallel, Speechify, Quizlet, and more are incoming.
- **Coda + Superhuman Mail integration:**
- Coda will turn meeting notes into action items and auto‑generate drafts/briefs.
- Superhuman Mail will auto‑draft context‑rich replies that reflect the user’s voice and pull in data from other tools.
- **Strategic vision:** By embedding AI into the exact places users work, Superhuman aims to make AI feel “ordinary” – no separate windows, prompts, or copy‑pastes. The goal is to let people think and create while the AI handles routine, repetitive tasks.
- **Leadership quote:** Shishir Mehrotra, formerly CEO of Grammarly, now CEO of Superhuman, frames the shift as moving from a single‑product AI helper to a proactive, ubiquitous AI platform that “fits where you work.”
Overall, the article announces Grammarly’s rebrand to Superhuman and introduces a broader, proactive AI ecosystem that extends beyond writing into task automation, research, scheduling, and collaboration across all user workflows.

Grammarly now has a new document-based interface, built on the back of Coda, the productivity startup it acquired last year. The interface also sports an AI assistant, as well as a few AI tools meant for students and professionals, including an AI grader, proofreader, and citation finder.
This article details how Coda and Grammarly integrate to improve team workflows, communication, and overall productivity. It highlights features like Coda's all-in-one workspace, AI assistance, and Grammarly's AI-powered writing tools for clarity, branding, and insight.
Grammarly Inc., maker of AI-powered writing software, is acquiring productivity startup Coda, and will also bring Coda CEO Shishir Mehrotra to take over as Grammarly's CEO.
