Remember when people thought Superhuman was the next thing?

It still sorta..is?

I know of and have seen a lot of very important founders and CEOs who still all swear by Superhuman.

The same people who thought that sort of thing, probably over-invested.

Once they (investors) have realized that there is no growth or anything to extract, or a lack of further fundraising, then it is written off and they move on.

They need to work on growth.

they're certainly working on it in this comments section

Seems mad to build this ahead of just adding usable task lists with assignments.

I quite like this. The 'auto label' implementation seems to work well (better than others I've tried). The UI is dense too, fitting lots of emails on screen at once.

Email is a funny thing. The UI (a list of subjects, senders, and dates) has barely changed in decades. And even now when AI is being added, the inbox UI remains the same. I'm not sure what I'd change but I find it surprising how little innovation there has been in that area.

As nice as this product is, I still wish Google would bring back Inbox. They created something really great and scrapped it for no good reason.

Surprised they launched this before the mobile app is ready. It doesn't make sense to have a bunch of organisational features available to me, but only when I'm at my laptop. I'd guess people are hardly at least 50% of their email from their phone.

Very disappointed that this is not an email client. It's just an alternative interface for Gmail.

This is very surprising, actually because many people in the B2B sphere don't use Gmail for their work email.

Only for Gmail? no thank you.

I didn't see pricing on the page. How does this compare to superhuman?

Right now it seems to be pretty simple. It's free for most usage and has some AI features.

Edit: according to the pricing page, Notion AI can organize your inbox if you have the Notion AI add-on. Not quite sure if you can do this on free to some amount.

Is this integrating with Notion-Workspaces and their abilities? Because this could be really useful, but except the editor, I don't see any mention of regular notion-features.

For anyone who used both, how does this compare to superhuman?

I'll be keeping Superhuman thanks. But good for Notion.
