Grammarly has acquired Superhuman, a premium email productivity platform, as part of its strategy to build an AI-driven workplace productivity suite and broaden its product offerings beyond grammar correction. While the financial terms were not disclosed, Superhuman was last valued at $825 million in 2021 and currently generates around $35 million in annual revenue.
The acquisition follows Grammarly’s recent $1 billion funding round led by General Catalyst, which provides the company with ample resources to accelerate its AI ambitions. With over 40 million daily users and $700 million+ in annual revenue, Grammarly is undergoing a brand transition as it moves towards enterprise-focused AI tools, Reuters news report said.
Superhuman, backed by investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and IVP with over $110 million in funding, has built a reputation for offering a fast, AI-enhanced email experience. The platform claims users send and respond to 72 percent more emails per hour and has seen a fivefold increase in AI-assisted email composition over the past year.
Grammarly CEO Shashir Mehrotra, who became the new CEO following the acquisition of Coda, has highlighted email’s central role in professional workflows, calling Superhuman a “leading innovator” in the space. Superhuman CEO Rahul Vohra and over 100 team members will join Grammarly, with the brand and product continuing independently.
The integration will enable Grammarly’s AI agents to work directly within Superhuman, offering users intelligent tools that connect across emails, documents, calendars, and tasks. The long-term goal is to develop a network of AI agents that streamline enterprise communication and decision-making — positioning Grammarly to compete with major players like Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce in the AI productivity arena.
U.S. Workers Most Productive at 11 a.m. on Mondays
A new survey of 2,000 knowledge workers, commissioned by Grammarly and conducted by Talker Research, reveals that American workers reach peak productivity at 11 a.m. on Mondays, while productivity dips the most on Fridays around 12:06 p.m.
Despite 56 percent of respondents considering themselves “very productive,” they report being derailed by an average of 53 tasks each week, leading to over 3.5 hours of lost productivity.
The study also found that 44 percent of workers dislike repetitive job tasks, with dissatisfaction highest among Gen Z (57 percent) compared to Gen X (42 percent).
Reflecting this frustration, 62 percent of workers are open to using AI to handle tasks. Desired AI features include ease of use (49 percent), email drafting support (35 percent), help with repetitive tasks like spreadsheet sorting (34 percent) and meeting note-taking (33 percent), as well as autonomous workflows and seamless integration with existing tools (31 percent each).
Grammarly acquires Coda
In March, Grammarly has announced its intention to acquire Coda, a productivity and AI platform, as part of a strategic shift to become a comprehensive AI productivity suite.
The acquisition aims to combine Grammarly’s used AI assistant with Coda’s productivity tools, particularly Coda Brain, to help users and enterprises unlock knowledge, streamline workflows, and deploy intelligent AI agents across applications.
Grammarly, used by over 40 million people and 50,000 organizations, plans to integrate its AI assistant with Coda Docs to offer a seamless, permission-aware productivity experience. Coda brings a customer base that includes Figma, DoorDash, and The New York Times, and a suite built to unify teams and reduce costs.
The deal reflects the growing enterprise shift toward generative AI agents, with projections showing widespread adoption by 2027. Grammarly’s expanded focus is on redefining productivity by enabling humans and AI to collaborate deeply across all work surfaces.
