About Superhuman
Inbox becomes an MCP endpoint — agents now drive Superhuman alongside humans, in your voice.
Superhuman ships at very high cadence, mixing mobile polish (Quick Reply from notifications, calendar widget, Split Inbox reorder/hide) with category-shifting AI work. The April MCP launch turned Superhuman Mail into a callable surface for Claude, ChatGPT, and other assistants, with 'uniquely Superhuman' actions (Smart Send, Read Statuses, Split Inbox triage) exposed as tools. Draft Sync with Gmail/Outlook bridges the agent ecosystem further: assistants can draft anywhere, you review and send in Superhuman.
