Email Reimagined: The Superhuman Approach
Email has remained a cornerstone of professional communication, but it often feels like a time-consuming burden. Rahul Vohra, founder and CEO of Superhuman, aims to change that. With Superhuman, users can achieve unparalleled productivity, cutting email processing time in half and reclaiming four hours each week. This isn't just email—it's email powered by AI.
From Reportive to Superhuman
Rahul’s entrepreneurial journey began with Reportive, a groundbreaking Gmail plugin offering contextual insights. After selling it to LinkedIn in 2012, Rahul set his sights on creating Superhuman, an app that transforms the email experience. By focusing on exceptional quality, private development, and premium features, Superhuman has set a new standard in email productivity.
Game-Changing AI Features
Superhuman’s innovative features include:
Instant Events: Turn email threads into scheduled events instantly, complete with titles, descriptions, and attendee availability.
Ask AI: Revolutionize how you find information in your inbox. Skip the search bar—simply ask questions like “Where is my Q1 offsite?” or “What are my flight details?”
These tools represent AI’s promise: saving time while reducing stress and frustration.
Rethinking Conventional Wisdom
Rahul challenges popular startup advice, rejecting "fail fast" and "launch early" mindsets in favor of meticulous planning and execution. His strategy? Launch with a product that is both fully functional and uniquely valuable, ensuring customers recognize its worth from day one.
The AI Productivity Ecosystem
Superhuman fits into a broader landscape of AI-driven productivity tools. Rahul endorses apps like Loom AI, which transforms video messaging with transcripts and summaries, and Flow by Whisper, a next-generation voice dictation app tailored to professional workflows.
Living in the Future
At the upcoming HumanX Conference, Rahul looks forward to exploring AI’s role in reshaping how we work. With a staggering trillion hours spent on email annually, the opportunity for innovation is immense. Rahul’s mission? To ensure Superhuman is at the forefront of this revolution.
