Ve vs Superhuman
Makes you faster at doing your inbox.
Does the inbox with you, and without you, when you're away.
Superhuman is the fastest inbox money can buy: keyboard-first, beautiful, and since its Grammarly-era rebuild it auto-drafts replies in your voice, lets you define labels with AI prompts, and drafts follow-ups for threads awaiting replies. If speed is your bottleneck, it's superb. What it doesn't do is plan your day (its morning brief exists only if you wire an external AI agent to it), start new outreach, or answer you anywhere outside its own apps.
Superhuman makes you faster at your inbox.
Ve makes the inbox work without you.
Seven places the fast inbox stops.
The fastest inbox, honestly earned
Superhuman is the fastest inbox money can buy, and the speed is real: keyboard-first, beautiful, and rebuilt around AI since the Grammarly era. Auto Drafts 2.0 writes replies, follow-ups, and scheduling drafts on its own, and Superhuman’s published claim is that 60% of them get sent unedited. When a thread sits awaiting a reply, it drafts the follow-up without being asked.
If speed is your bottleneck, it’s superb. The rest of this page is about a different bottleneck: the work your inbox needs when you’re not sitting at it.

A morning brief you don’t have to wire up
Superhuman has a morning briefing workflow, but only if you connect an external AI agent like Claude or ChatGPT through its Mail MCP and run it yourself. Out of the box, no brief arrives.
Ve sends the Intent of the day every morning in your timezone, no assembly required. It’s built from five places at once: your tasks, today’s calendar, the threads still waiting on a reply, the work you’ve handed to others, and the action items from yesterday’s meetings. On a morning when nothing actually needs you, it skips the send. Too busy to read? Listen to it instead.
Only by wiring up an external AI agent
Intent of the day, every morning, read or listened to
Automation you describe, not a switch you flip
Superhuman’s built-in automations are Auto Reminders, Auto Archive, and plain-language prompts for labels and standing preferences. Anything that should run on a schedule again needs that external agent.
Ve runs Routines. Describe one in plain language and Ve compiles it into a plan you approve once; from then on it runs on its own schedule. A summary of the week’s activity every Monday morning. A follow-up draft for any awaiting-reply thread that stays silent past the window you set. A monthly review of where your attention went.
Reminders, archive, label prompts; nothing scheduled
Describe once in plain language; runs on schedule
The outreach column of your job
Everything Superhuman drafts is a reaction to mail that already arrived. Mail for Sales adds CRM context and a Recent Opens feed, but nothing in it generates a prospect or a first email.
Describe your ideal customer once and Ve’s Opportunities routine goes looking: it finds prospects that match, drafts a first email to each one, and files the lot in an approval queue. Nothing sends until you say so.

Memory of your apps, map of your people
Superhuman Go is a genuine strength: it connects to more than 100 apps and claims a memory that builds understanding of you over time, mostly in service of meeting prep. What it doesn’t document is a structured model of the people and companies behind your mail.
Ve builds that map from your mail and connected tools: the people, the companies, the goals they connect to. When it drafts or plans, it reasons over those relationships rather than retrieving loose context.
Go remembers context; no structured people model

Where your edits go
Superhuman now says your edits teach it: change an Auto Draft and it learns your preferences. What it publishes is the claim; how the learning works stays opaque.
Ve shows its work. Every sent draft carries a measure of how much you changed it. A heavily edited draft gets pulled apart for what changed and why, and a correction you make repeatedly becomes a standing rule, so that whole class of correction stops appearing.

Measures every edit; repeated corrections become rules
An assistant you can reach from anywhere
Superhuman answers inside its own apps and the Go browser extension.
Ve answers wherever you write to it. Reply to your morning brief over email the way you’d reply to a colleague, and the action gets carried out. Message it on WhatsApp or Telegram when you’re away from the inbox. iMessage is coming soon.
Own apps and browser extension only
Two-way on email, WhatsApp, and Telegram
Works with the stack you already use.
Ve Intent Mail sits on top of the tools you already work in. Connect an app once and its content joins one searchable memory that Ve’s agents read when they plan your day or draft a reply. Your Granola and Attention meeting notes, your HubSpot and Zoho records, your Notion docs, your ClickUp tasks, and your Slack and Teams messages all feed the same memory. Calendars stay live: the calendar agent works directly on your Google and Outlook calendars rather than an imported copy.
