Grammarly Rebrands To 'Superhuman,' Launches a New AI Assistant 17
Grammarly is rebranding itself as "Superhuman" following its acquisition of the email client, while keeping its existing product names for now. Along with the rebrand, the company is launching "Superhuman Go," an AI assistant that integrates with tools like Gmail, Jira, and Google Drive to enhance writing and automate productivity tasks. "The assistant can use these connections to do tasks like logging tickets or fetching your availability when you're scheduling a meeting," adds TechCrunch. "Superhuman said it plans to add functionality to enable the assistant to fetch data from sources like CRMs and internal systems to suggest changes to your emails."
"Users can try Superhuman Go by turning on a toggle in the Grammarly extension, which will let them connect it to different apps. Users can also try out different agents in the company's agent store, which include a plagiarism checker and a proofreader, launched in August."

Seen on the first linked article's picture. Preaching to the choir here (I hope), but "This AI agent can help you with your ..." should always be replaced with "That AI company is now about to steal your ... wholesale".
Grammarly was a nice tool at one time. I used it to help me edit manuscripts. Then they decided that only the cloud version could be used, indicating you had to upload all data to their servers. Within a few months they started openly and brazenly talking about their AI assistant to "help you write." I dropped them then. This is just the next move in their "all your data are belong to us" agenda. Anybody dumb enough to stick with them is simply feeding the algorithm they hope will replace your creative outp

Any mention always makes me think of this from Rick and Morty, "JuRicksic Mort" (s06e06):
President Curtis: At first it was fun spending all day watching whatever YouTube autoplays after the last one autoplayed, but a man can only watch so many ads for Grammarly.

Why would I ever buy anything from people like that?
Re: (Score:2)
My colleagues buy from them; the reason being that their product works and is useful, and you only need to subscribe it for a few months while you're writing that important thesis or report. As someone who doesn't buy from them but has to read and correct the said theses or reports from colleagues, I am quite satisfied that my colleagues pay out of pocket for something that saves me time and patience.

What is it with destructive rebranding? (Score:2)
'Max' learned their lesson, why can't anyone else learn from that mistake? Why throw away years of marketing and branding? I know who Grammarly is. It's a unique name, I understand what they're trying to do.
'Superhuman' is so generic. What does 'Superhuman' DO? From the name, I can't tell. I certainly wouldn't think it has anything to do with writing or editing papers.
I hope they fail. I don't even hope they learn their lesson and switch back, I hope they're just wiped off the face of the Earth as a lesson
destructive? it's fraud. (Score:2)
They should be denied any trademark attempt at their crumby new name.
