  • They rebranded but the pricing and packaging options are still stupid and poorly segmenting the product. Basically, there's still a different (and higher) price to get email or not.

    On top of that, Grammarly's 3 products (Coda, Go and Grammarly itself) all look the same. What are honestly the differences between these three:

      * Product 1: Everyone’s favorite AI writing partner.
  * Product 2: The all-in-one AI workspace for teams
  * Product 3: AI that works in every app you use
    These people probably know what they're doing, and probably also have a lot of restrictions from previous users so migrating is hard. But I'd unify the value prop, just one product: AI Superpowers, including all the "features": Email, writing assistant etc.

    And then the packaging done per Enterprise features and metered.

  • I thought Grammarly's brand was far better known than "Superhuman". I've never seen a YouTube ad for the latter.

  • The name Superhuman makes a lot more sense for a company with a suite of AI productivity products. The "Grammarly" name was too focused on their original use case of just improving writing.

  • "Grammarly announced Tuesday the acquisition of email client Superhuman in a push to build out its AI for its productivity suite. Neither companies provided details about the financial terms of the deal..... Superhuman was founded by Rahul Vohra, Vivek Sodera, and Conrad Irwin. The company raised more than $114 million in funding from backers including a16z, IVP, and Tiger Global, with its last valuation at $825 million, according to data from venture data analytics firm Traxcn."

    Interested to understand what would be the terms of the deal if Superhuman was valued at $825mm and what the founders cleared if the all the VCs rounds had 2-3x liquidation preferences.

  • A great tool if you want your own unique voice to blend seamlessly into the tidal wave of LLM-generated mush flooding the internet.

  • Just as everything tends to evolve into something resembling a crab, all software seems to eventually become email — and, now, an LLM.

  • This is getting to the antivirus bundle level of adding pointless features. I want grammarly to... check my grammar. I don't want it to write for me or suggest things.
