Grammarly is becoming Superhuman as it gains new powers at no extra cost for now

The AI writing aid Grammarly is changing its name to Superhuman (not to be confused with SimpleHuman) as it gains additional capabilities. The company says existing subscribers will get the extra features at no extra cost, but only until the beginning of February …

Grammarly is a browser plugin that acts rather like a spell-checker on steroids. It checks spelling, points out grammatical errors, and also makes suggested changes to improve the flow of your writing.

The company last year acquired collaborative workspace app Coda, whose apps include the AI-powered Superhuman Mail. This now becomes part of the package along with a new AI assistant called Superhuman Go.

The Verge reports that the latter is an AI agent that works within your browser.

Superhuman shifts its focus to offering an AI agent-powered work platform that works in every tab of your browser and knows enough about what’s going on to offer useful suggestions. In this demo video, the company says that with connections to over 100 apps, it can offer contextual help, like scheduling meetings based on your Google Calendar’s availability, or getting the details in a pitch right based on the info in a database.

Superhuman Go has a very similar user interface to Grammarly, with its sidebar format.

The company says that the Grammarly brand will remain but will now be one of the tools offered within the parent branding of Superhuman.

“It’s a really complicated and frankly scary thing. But the reality is, the Grammarly brand isn’t going anywhere,” Noam Lovinsky, Chief Product Officer at Superhuman, said in an interview with The Verge.

If you currently have a Grammarly Pro subscription, you’ll get the extra features at no extra cost for now, but it sounds like that will soon change.

Superhuman Go will be available to subscribers for no extra cost through February 1st, 2026, but Superhuman has not yet confirmed exact pricing for it beyond that date.
