Inbox becomes an MCP endpoint — agents now drive Superhuman alongside humans, in your voice.

◆Current state
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.
◆Where it's heading
The product is moving from 'fast email for power users' to 'AI-and-humans share the inbox.' Personalization, Write with Voice, and MCP form a clear stack — voice in, agent action, voice out — with the original power-user keyboard-shortcut audience preserved through continued Split Inbox refinement. Mobile gets weekly polish to keep that surface from rotting while the AI direction takes the headlines.
◆Prediction
Next likely move is delegated-inbox MCP actions for executive assistants (act-as-on-behalf permissions) and recurring agent tasks tied to Personalization rules. A cross-app demo — Superhuman + Granola + a calendar tool, all via MCP — is the obvious narrative the May 21st virtual event has been set up to deliver.
