Grammar Isn’t Going Anywhere.
Earlier today, you may have seen reports that Grammarly was changing its name to Superhuman. But that’s not all. While the company announced a larger rebranding to coincide with the release of a new AI assistant (more on that later), it also assured users that “the Grammarly brand isn’t going anywhere.” Essentially, this means that while Grammarly has a new name, the Grammarly product will continue to use the same tried-and-true name.
The confusion arose after Grammarly acquired the AI-powered email app Superhuman in June. The company said this “accelerates Grammarly’s transformation into an AI platform for improving app and agent performance.” Acquired companies typically take the names of their acquirers, but this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule. “Superhuman” certainly implies a broader scope than a name dedicated solely to grammar, so it’s logical that Grammarly might want to retain its name if it plans to expand into other markets.
To that end, the company also announced Superhuman Go today—a more comprehensive AI-powered add-on to the Grammarly extension that works similarly to Grammarly but with more advanced features. The free version will still let you do everything Grammarly does, but will also provide access to tools like Coda, a collaborative workspace, and a chatbot that is said to integrate with 100 apps and help you complete tasks within them. Alternatively, you can pay to gain access to the Superhuman AI inbox and the features you’ve come to expect from Grammarly Pro and Enterprise.
But while Grammarly is available in Go, if you’re skeptical, you don’t need to change your workflow just yet. The basic Superhuman Suite paid subscription is the same price as the previous Grammarly Pro subscription, so you won’t overpay even if you gain access to the new tools (though you’ll need to upgrade to gain access to AI email). As for Go itself, this is completely optional.
To try Superhuman Go, open the Grammarly extension, go to “Settings,” and turn on the toggle next to “Go.” Otherwise, you can disable it and continue using Grammarly as usual, including your name and everything else.
