What arrived
CV attached for the ops role
A recruiter sends over another CV, the fourth this week, each one needing the same two-line acknowledgement back.
Comparison
Both draft for you. The difference is what they know about you.
Superhuman is a keyboard-first email client with an AI layer that runs on its own. It labels, archives, summarises, and drafts a reply to every email. Beemy runs a comparable loop, then goes somewhere Superhuman's own pages don't. It keeps your work voice and your personal voice apart, in separate silos. It also gives you an autonomy dial you promote category by category.

Superhuman A keyboard-first email client whose AI layer runs unprompted. It labels, archives and summarises mail, and drafts a reply to every email in the voice of what you have already sent.
Beemy One assistant for your whole life: inbox and calendar today, Slack next.
At a glance
Eight ways the job gets done differently.
| Dimension | Superhuman | Beemy |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | “Built for teams that use Gmail or Outlook.” | Gmail and Google Calendar live in beta today; Outlook is next as it clears its own safety gate. See what's next → |
| What it is | A keyboard-first email client with an AI layer that runs unprompted (Auto Labels, Auto Archive, Auto Summarize, Instant Reply and Auto Follow-up), plus Ask AI on request. | An assistant that runs the same kind of loop across your inbox, calendar and Slack as it rolls out, plus one tuned digest for the newsletters and feeds you follow. |
| Drafting | Instant Reply aims for “an inbox where every email has a draft reply,” and its AI “matches the voice and tone in the emails you've already sent, applying that to everything it creates.” | Keeps your work voice and your personal voice apart, so a work draft does not sound like a personal one. |
| Triage | Auto Labels “automatically separate marketing, cold pitches, and social network updates,” Auto Archive clears them, and Auto Summarize puts “a 1-line summary above every conversation.” | Weighs every message by relationship and urgency (a live map of who matters to you, not a category split), and gets sharper from every correction you make. How triage works → |
| Follow-ups | Auto Follow-up reminds you when a thread goes quiet: “We'll even write the email for you, so all you need to do is hit send.” | Drafts the nudge in your voice, and holds it in the same approval flow as everything else it does. |
| Control | Drafts are prepared for you to “simply edit, then send” — you're the send gate on each one. | An explicit autonomy ladder: read-only first, then approve-before-send, then a dial you promote per category — with anything ambiguous escalated to you with a reason. How the approval ladder works → |
| Work and personal | Built around the work inbox, alongside the rest of the Superhuman suite (Docs, Grammarly, Go) and CRM integrations. | Personal and work held in strictly separate architectural silos, so a work draft is assembled from work context alone. How the silos hold → |
| Price | Superhuman Mail is included from the Business plan at $33/member/month billed annually, with Enterprise custom; the Free and Pro ($12/member/month) tiers cover Grammarly, Docs and Go (their plans page, checked 1 Aug 2026). | $29–49/month, free to start. See plans → |

Beemy's message
You promoted this category to send on its own three weeks ago. The acknowledgement already went out, in the brisk tone you keep for recruiters. This panel is only a record of it.
Nothing here waited for a tap. You're the one who decided this category could run alone.
The real difference
Both write your drafts. Only one of them writes differently to your sister.
Superhuman is explicit about how its drafting works: the AI “matches the voice and tone in the emails you've already sent, applying that to everything it creates.” That is one learned voice, applied across the board. For a work inbox, that is often the right call. Beemy keeps your work voice and your personal voice apart instead. A running map of who matters to you drives triage.
See everything it handles →Control
A draft to edit, or a dial you promote.
Superhuman's model is clean and predictable. It prepares the draft, and you “simply edit, then send.” You stay the gate on every message. Beemy's autonomy ladder is built to move. It starts read-only, then moves to approve-before-send. Once a category has earned it, you promote it with a dial, so routine decisions stop coming back to you. Beemy escalates anything ambiguous or high-stakes with a plain-language reason. You get more oversight than a script and less repetition than approving every send forever.
How the autonomy ladder works →Work and personal
Every named tool in this category is a work-inbox tool.
Superhuman's breadth runs sideways into the rest of its suite (Docs, Grammarly, Go) and into CRM integrations for sales-heavy teams. Beemy has no reach like that today. Beemy's breadth runs the other way. It applies the same triage, voice modelling and autonomy ladder across your calendar and, as it rolls out, Slack. It holds your personal life in an architecturally separate silo from your work.

Looking for a Superhuman alternative?
Superhuman is not the only way to get faster at email. Here are the other options, including tools that are not Beemy.
- ShortwaveYou're Gmail-only and want an AI agent for scheduling and search built the same way.
- Fyxer AIYou want an assistant layer that drafts and triages for you, on Gmail or Outlook.
- Gemini in GmailYou want AI help writing and summarising without paying for a separate client.
- BeemyYou want the triage and drafting done for you across email, calendar and (soon) Slack. You do not want faster tools to do it yourself.
When to pick them instead
When Superhuman is the better tool.
Superhuman is a mature, generally-available product. Its AI layer does more unprompted than most of this category. It offers Auto Labels, Auto Archive, Auto Summarize, a draft waiting on every email, and a follow-up it will write for you. If keyboard speed is your metric, Superhuman is the safer pick. It is also the safer pick if you want a shipped product that supports both Gmail and Outlook now. Beemy is a private beta that expands provider by provider. Superhuman's CRM integrations go further than Beemy's. Beemy's case rests on narrower things. It keeps work and personal voice apart. It has an autonomy dial that moves. It puts calendar on the same loop, with Slack next. It puts a wall between your work and personal life.
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Does Superhuman work with Outlook?
Yes, Superhuman states it is “built for teams that use Gmail or Outlook” (superhuman.com/mail, checked 1 Aug 2026). Beemy's Gmail and Google Calendar are live in beta today; Outlook is next as it clears its own safety gate (see the roadmap).
How much does Superhuman cost?
Superhuman Mail (the email product compared here) is included from the Business plan at $33/member/month billed annually, with custom Enterprise pricing. The Free and Pro ($12/member/month billed annually) tiers cover Grammarly, Docs and Go rather than Mail (superhuman.com/plans, checked 1 Aug 2026).
Is Superhuman worth it?
If you want a fast, shipped client, Superhuman delivers one today. Its AI labels, archives, summarises and drafts replies on its own, across Gmail or Outlook. Beemy is worth comparing for three things. It keeps work and personal voice apart. It gives you an autonomy dial you promote over time. It keeps your personal life in a separate silo from your work.
Can I use Superhuman and Beemy together?
There is no technical conflict, but they overlap heavily. Both draft replies and sort your inbox for you. Most people pick one. Pick by what you want. One option is a learned voice across a fast work inbox. The other keeps a work voice and a personal voice apart. Its autonomy dial spans both silos.
