Premium email client with AI features for auto-drafting replies, email summarization, instant scheduling, and smart triage. Targets professionals and executives who prioritize inbox productivity.

Analyst summary

Superhuman is a premium email client with AI assistant features that integrates directly with Gmail and Outlook mailboxes. The access scope (full mailbox with AI generation) is broad, and enterprises should evaluate carefully given how much sensitive content flows through email. Compliance documentation is lighter than enterprise-first email tools.

Fine for executive productivity; inappropriate for mailboxes containing regulated or legally privileged content.

Questions to ask before signing

Vendor-agnostic baseline. Send these to the vendor and require written answers before contract.

01. Provide your most recent SOC 2 Type II report (with bridge letter if applicable).
02. Describe your training-data provenance and customer opt-out mechanics in writing.
03. List all sub-processors and confirm notification policy for material additions.
04. Confirm BAA availability and signed-BAA process if we process PHI.
05. Describe rate-limiting, quota, and circuit-breaker controls protecting our usage.
06. Provide your model card or equivalent disclosure documenting intended use, limitations, and known failure modes.
07. Describe your prompt-injection defences and red-team posture against OWASP LLM Top 10 risks.
08. Confirm data residency options and which sub-regions our data may touch.
09. Provide incident-response SLAs, security-event notification timelines, and the most recent pen-test report summary.
10. Confirm output ownership terms and any indemnification or copyright-shield programs available.
11. Describe acquisition-risk safeguards and what happens to our data on a change of control.
12. List foundation-model dependencies and how upstream-model risk is mitigated.

Methodology + caveats

Composite scores use the default-balanced weight profile (25% data handling, 20% IP exposure, 15% jurisdiction, 15% security, 10% regulatory compliance, 8% transparency, 5% business stability, 2% dependency chain). All facts are sourced from the vendor's own public disclosures, public regulatory filings, or reputable secondary reporting — see the cited sources table above.
