The reports circulating today about Grammarly changing its name to Superhuman paint an incomplete picture. A significant rebrand *has* occurred, coinciding with the launch of a powerful new AI assistant, but the familiar Grammarly brand remains firmly in place. The core product – the writing assistant millions rely on – will continue under the same, trusted name.
This confusion stems from Grammarly’s acquisition of the innovative AI-powered email app, Superhuman, back in June. The move was described as a catalyst, accelerating Grammarly’s transformation into a comprehensive AI productivity platform extending beyond simple writing assistance. Typically, acquisitions result in the absorbed company relinquishing its identity, but Grammarly is charting a different course.
“Superhuman” evokes a sense of expansive capability, a scope far beyond grammar checking. It’s a logical choice for a company aiming to broaden its reach and establish itself in new, competitive markets. The name signals an ambition to become an indispensable tool for overall productivity, not just polished prose.
Introducing Superhuman Go, a more versatile AI enhancement to the existing Grammarly extension. Think of it as Grammarly, amplified. The free version retains all the features users know and love, while also unlocking access to collaborative tools like Coda and an intelligent chatbot designed to seamlessly integrate with and act across a vast network of 100 different applications.
For those seeking even greater power, a paid subscription unlocks the Superhuman AI inbox alongside the features previously offered in Grammarly Pro and Enterprise. However, existing Grammarly users shouldn’t feel pressured to change their routines. The base paid subscription mirrors the previous Grammarly Pro pricing, ensuring no immediate cost increase for access to these new capabilities.
Superhuman Go is entirely optional. You can continue using Grammarly as you always have, without altering your workflow. To explore the new features, simply open the Grammarly extension, navigate to Settings, and toggle on the “Go” switch. The familiar experience remains readily available, should you choose to keep it.
