- No prompts
- Nothing to describe or configure.
- Your way
- The order and habits you already have.
Personal memory

questions
If you want more than a faster inbox, yes. Superhuman Mail is a superb email client that makes you quicker at email. Demi is an AI teammate on your Mac that works across Slack, calendar, CRM and email, learns how you work, and has the next step ready before you ask.
No. Demi does not replace Gmail or Outlook. It works alongside the tools you already use, email included, and prepares the work for your approval. Superhuman Mail is a full email client that replaces the Gmail or Outlook interface.
Superhuman's Auto Drafts are good, and they write in your voice, drafting from your inbox, calendar and the web. Demi drafts from everything the reply depends on, including the Slack thread, the call and the deal record, and it handles the work around the reply as well, like the CRM update.
Go is the agent bundled with every Superhuman plan, and it is the closest thing in the suite to Demi: it works across tools like Gmail, Slack and Jira and asks before it acts. It runs as a browser extension and a desktop overlay. Demi is an AI teammate built around your Mac and your whole day, learning how you work from the work itself and staying on it while your laptop is closed.
No. Keep Gmail or Outlook exactly as they are. Demi connects to them and works alongside, so there is no new client or set of shortcuts to learn.
Superhuman Mail covers email and calendar, with CRM sync for HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive on the Business plan. Slack, meetings and docs sit outside the mail product. Demi reads across all of them.
Superhuman Mail is $25 a member a month on Starter and $33 on Business with annual billing, and Auto Drafts and Ask AI need Business. There is no free plan or trial for Mail. Demi has a free plan with up to $50 in credits, and individual plans from $25 a month with credits included.
Yes. If email is most of your job and you want to move through it as fast as possible, on any device including Windows and your phone, Superhuman is excellent at that. If you want the work around the email handled across your tools, that is Demi.
Demi is SOC 2 Type II certified, CASA Tier II assessed and Google-verified for restricted Gmail scopes. Your data is never used to train models, and every action is staged for your approval before it happens.
Demi has a free plan rather than a trial. Download it for Mac with no card required, and new accounts get up to $50 in credits. Paid individual plans start at $25 a month with credits included, and you can add more any time.
Where Superhuman slows you down
You still work the inbox
Superhuman is built for speed: keyboard shortcuts, Split Inbox, a draft waiting on every reply. It is still you working through the email, one thread at a time, just faster.
It knows your inbox, not your day
Superhuman Mail drafts from your inbox, your calendar and the web. The Slack thread where the plan changed, the call you just finished and the doc your team is editing sit outside the mail product.
A new client, priced per seat
Superhuman replaces the Gmail or Outlook interface you already use, at $25 to $33 a member a month on annual billing. Auto Drafts and Ask AI need the Business plan, and there is no free plan or trial for Mail.
