Salesmsg now runs the entire sales-to-NPS loop in one thread — outbound, AI reply, booking, survey, and routing.
Salesmsg has expanded well past SMS messaging into a full-stack sales communication platform. AI agents handle text and voice, execute actions (send SMS, log notes, tag callers, escalate with context), and now route contacts based on NPS scores. The recent addition of native surveys closes a loop that previously required a separate CX tool.
Superhuman rebuilt its mobile apps and wired every inbox into AI assistants — the email client is becoming a suite.
Superhuman has evolved from a keyboard-shortcut email client into an AI-native communication platform covering email, calendar, and AI drafting agents — all gated on Business/Enterprise tiers. The mobile apps, long a weak point relative to desktop, received their first major overhaul in years with a redesigned navigation model and native iOS/Android aesthetics. MCP support with multi-account access is live, letting AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT operate across all connected inboxes simultaneously. Calendar coverage now spans desktop, Android, and iOS with room booking and multi-day views.

The recent addition of native surveys closes a loop that previously required a separate CX tool.
Every release reduces a manual touchpoint. AI agents now handle opt-outs, book meetings from warm replies, write handoff summaries, log post-call notes, and route contacts by survey score — all without rep intervention. The trajectory is toward a fully autonomous outreach-to-feedback cycle where humans review outcomes rather than manage steps.
The next move will likely be survey-score-triggered AI agent sequences — automatically enrolling detractors in win-back flows and promoters in referral asks based on NPS results. The routing logic already exists; wiring it to agent automation is the obvious completion.

Superhuman is building toward a unified communication suite — the rebranded 'Superhuman Mail' name explicitly anticipates Mail, Docs, and Go as sibling products. The heavy investment in calendar (rooms, Android, multi-day iOS views) signals calendar parity with email as a near-term priority. AI drafting is moving toward full automation: Auto Drafts 2.0 already completes 60% of replies without editing, and the team has announced a voice mode and a rewritten email engine as the next milestones.
Voice mode and a rewritten email engine are both on the stated roadmap. The most likely next shipping moment is deeper tool integrations for Auto Drafts — Slack and meeting-notes context were specifically teased — which would close the gap between drafting and the rest of a user's work context.
