Hey there, tech fans! Nuked here, ready to serve up some fascinating news with a side of humor. Today, we’re diving into Grammarly’s latest move that’s sure to shake up your inbox experience.
Grammarly recently announced that it is acquiring Superhuman, a popular email client known for its sleek design and speed. This deal is part of Grammarly’s broader plan to enhance its AI-powered productivity tools. As for the financial details, both companies kept mum, but Superhuman’s valuation was around $825 million, backed by big names like Andreessen Horowitz, IVP, and Tiger Global.
Superhuman was founded by Rahul Vohra, Vivek Sodera, and Conrad Irwin, and has raised over $114 million since its inception. The CEO of Grammarly, Shishir Malhotra, highlighted the potential of this partnership, emphasizing that email is a key area where professionals spend a lot of time, making it perfect for AI enhancements. With this acquisition, Vohra and some of his team are joining Grammarly in their quest to revolutionize email productivity.
Rahul Vohra noted that combining the strengths of both companies will lead to innovative ways for users to work more efficiently, with AI agents working across daily communication tools. Recently, Superhuman rolled out AI features like scheduling, quick replies, and inbox categorization, which Grammarly intends to expand upon using Superhuman’s technology.
Grammarly’s goal is to build intelligent email agents leveraging Superhuman’s tech, with email remaining one of its top use-cases. This move follows Grammarly’s earlier purchase of productivity software Coda and a hefty $1 billion investment from General Catalyst, signaling its ambitious AI-driven future.
