Grammarly Isn’t Going Anywhere

Earlier today, you might have seen reports that Grammarly is changing its name to Superhuman. That's not really the whole story. While the company did announce a broader rebrand coinciding with the release of a new AI assistant (more on that later), it also assured users that "the Grammarly brand isn't going anywhere." Essentially, what that means is that while Grammarly the company has a new name, Grammarly the product is still going by the same tried-and-true moniker as ever.

The confusion follows Grammarly's acquisition of AI-powered email app Superhuman in June, which the company said "accelerates Grammarly's evolution into an AI productivity platform for apps and agents." Usually, acquired companies take the name of the companies that bought them, but that's not a hard-and-fast rule. "Superhuman" certainly implies a broader scope than a name that's all about grammar, so it makes sense that Grammarly might want to yoink its name if it plans to expand into other markets.

To that end, the company also today announced Superhuman Go, a more general AI addition to the Grammarly extension that works like Grammarly does now, but with more capability. The free version will still let you do everything Grammarly does, but it also ropes in access to tools like Coda, a collaborative workspace, and a chatbot that supposedly integrates with and can help take action for you across 100 apps. Or, you could pay up to also get the Superhuman AI inbox and the features you would previously expect from Grammarly Pro and Enterprise.

But while Grammarly is available within Go, if you're skeptical, you don't need to change your workflow yet. Pricing for the base paid Superhuman Suite subscription matches the previous Grammarly Pro subscription pricing, so you won't be paying more even with access to new tools (although you'll need to hop up to a higher tier to get that AI inbox). And as for using Go itself, it's entirely optional.

To try Superhuman Go out, open the Grammarly extension, go to Settings and toggle on the switch next to Go. Otherwise, you can leave it off to continue using Grammarly as you always have, name and all.
