Write with AI

Summarizing every email, drafting your replies, supercharging your writing, and searching your inbox, Superhuman AI helps you take charge of your inbox faster than ever before! 🚀

Desktop

When you sign in to a new account, activate Superhuman AI. Hit Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) → Activate Superhuman AI.

Drafting Mode

When drafting a message, hit Cmd+J or Ctrl+J to write with AI. Then, type a prompt and hit Enter to have Superhuman AI draft a message. The more context and keywords you include, the more specific the drafted message will be.

Editing Mode

You can make small or larger edits within Editing Mode.

You can access Editing Mode in two ways:

  1. Directly after a message has been crafted in Drafting Mode.
  2. Highlighting existing text and hitting Cmd+J or Ctrl+J.

When editing, select a suggestion (Improve writing, Shorten, Lengthen, Simplify, etc.) for a quick change to the draft.

In the Describe how to edit the text box, you can also type in a more specific editing prompt for a larger change.

For example, you could type 'translate to Spanish' to have the entire draft rewritten to Spanish or any other language!

Tips for Writing AI Prompts

  • Be clear and concise — Use specific, straightforward language to get more accurate responses.
    • Example: Use the meeting notes below to write a friendly, concise follow-up email with clear action items.
  • State your objective upfront — Let AI know from the start what you're trying to achieve.
    • Example: I’m an Account Executive trying to close a deal with ABC Company. Write a follow-up email that re-engages a prospect who went cold after our last conversation. Include a friendly tone and a clear call to action.
  • Provide examples — Share relevant examples or inputs to help guide tone, format, or structure.
    • Example: Here are two past onboarding emails we've sent to new users. Use the same tone and structure to draft one for our latest AI launch.
  • Specify the format — Clearly state how you want the output delivered (e.g., bullet points, paragraphs).
    • Example: Write a concise email communicating the pros and cons of calendar blocking. Include 3-4 points in bullet format.
  • Use paraphrasing — If the first response isn’t quite right, rephrase your prompt and try again.
    • Example: Reword this sales email to be more concise and action-oriented, with a stronger call to action at the end.
  • Incorporate useful context — Include relevant company terms or background to improve accuracy.
    • Example: Discuss the impact of Superhuman, the fastest email experience ever made, to increase responsiveness and reduce email anxiety. Here’s our latest blog post copy for context.
  • Challenge Superhuman AI — If the output misses the mark, give feedback and guide it in the right direction.
    • Example: This follow-up email feels too generic. Make it more personalized by referencing the customer’s recent product usage and include a specific next step.

Mobile

On iOS (coming soon for Android), you can use AI Compose by tapping on the ai icon above your keyboard.

💡 Tip: Instead of writing your prompt, utilize Voice Dictation by tapping the Microphone icon at the bottom right corner of the keyboard!
