From Blank Page to Done

Staring at a blank page can be the hardest part of writing. Write with AI helps you go from idea to polished text in seconds ✨

Desktop

When signing into a new account, hit Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) → Activate Superhuman AI.

Drafting Mode

Superhuman AI can draft messages for you instantly. Just hit Cmd+J or Ctrl+J, type a prompt, then hit Enter to have Superhuman AI do the writing for you. 

It doesn’t just generate generic text, either. Superhuman AI adapts to your voice and picks up on the tone you’ve used in past emails with that recipient, so each draft feels natural and personal. The more context and keywords you include, the more tailored the message will be.

Editing Mode

You can access Editing Mode in two ways to make small or larger edits:

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

For a quick change to the draft, select a suggestion from the menu (Improve writing, Fix spelling and grammar, Shorten, Lengthen, Simplify).

For a larger change, type a specific prompt in the "Describe how to edit the text" box. 

💡Tip: Use Edit with AI to translate your draft into another language! 

Mobile

You can use AI Compose by tapping the ai icon above your keyboard.

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

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.
  • Paraphrase: 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.
