Superhuman AI
The fastest email client with AI that triages your inbox, drafts replies, and eliminates the email backlog.
Overview
Superhuman is a premium email client with AI capabilities designed for executives and professionals who receive 100+ emails per day. Its core promise is speed: keyboard shortcuts optimised for zero mouse use, pre-loaded messages, and instant send — allowing power users to achieve 'Inbox Zero' in minutes rather than hours.
The AI features are specifically designed for email productivity: AI Triage categorises emails by importance and separates them into Important, Other, and newsletters. The AI auto-draft feature drafts replies based on the email context and the user's writing style, requiring only review and adjustment before sending. Ask AI allows natural language queries about email history.
Superhuman charges $30/month — the highest-priced email client by a significant margin — and maintains a waitlist-based access model. Despite this friction, it has attracted a loyal base of executives, venture capitalists, and founders who report dramatically reduced email processing time. The company's focus on a narrow, expensive market has generated strong word-of-mouth among influential users who recommend it publicly.

Use cases
ASEAN Perspective
Superhuman AI in Southeast Asia
ASEAN-region availability and pricing notes coming soon. Drop the editorial team a note via /contact/ if you can supply local context (Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand/Vietnam).
Superhuman is a keyboard-driven, speed-obsessed email client (Gmail and Outlook) that layers AI on top: smart triage, auto-drafting in your voice, thread summaries and follow-up reminders. For executives, founders and sales professionals who live in their inbox, the combination of raw speed and AI assistance can be a genuine productivity unlock, and onboarding is famously well-coached.
The blunt caveat is price: it is one of the most expensive email clients on the market, which is hard to justify unless email is core to your job and volume is high. It is English-first and globally available, fine to use from ASEAN, though the value calculus skews toward high earners. It is an end-user app, not a developer platform.
Notable facts
- Superhuman's onboarding includes a personal 30-minute 1:1 call with a team member to teach users the keyboard shortcuts — unusual for a SaaS product but central to their premium positioning.
- The company was profitable from relatively early, prioritising high ARPU over growth — each user pays $360/year with reportedly very low churn.
- Superhuman's founder Rahul Vohra is the pioneer of 'product-market fit' measurement, creating the 40% rule that became standard in the startup world.
