Sales and support teams replacing legacy phone systems. The spend data shows this is a serious line item, not a lightweight tool. Despite relatively limited adoption, it has the second-highest per-company spend after Microsoft.

Superhuman is a suite of four products: Superhuman Mail (AI-powered email with split inbox, read statuses, Auto Drafts, and Ask AI), Grammarly (AI writing assistance across apps and surfaces), Coda (collaborative docs and databases), and Superhuman Go (a proactive cross-app AI agent).
