Shishir Mehrotra, who became head of Grammar in early 2025, doesn’t just renew the company’s writing tools – he also restores the entire company. From now on, this language will be known as power unknown, the name Mehrotra means better reflecting the expansion of equipment and devices to equip users.
“It was very important for the company to have a broad name because we cover more ground than we did,” Mehrotra said. “We wanted to be able to increase our contributions over time and we still have.”
If you are stuck on the word of the language, don’t worry. The company’s popular Writing Assistant will retain its title as one of several products under the new Superhuman umbrella. Other offerings include CODA, a collaboration platform founded by Mehrotra and acquired by Grammar last year, and Superhuman Email, an AI-powered email platform purchased in June.
The superhuman suite will add a new product: Superhuman Go, an AI assistant that can connect to its more than 100 integrations to work on all user documents, emails, meeting documents and chat threads. The tool will introduce multiple AI Agents designed to provide scripting support and pull real-time data from other tools. Some agents were developed in collaboration with experts, including author Kim Scott, who helped launch the “Caverical Candical” agent that will help users communicate directly and kindly.
Mehrotra likened Grammarly’s transformation to other Main Tech Rebrands, such as Google’s alphabetical reorganization and Facebook’s Pivot to Meta. “There are enough cases of that being done in a way that preserves the type of spine,” he said.
Hot trend in AI
Founded in 2009, Grammarly has yet to use AI to tackle grammar and writing tools. Recently, the company has accelerated its AI development, adding features such as AI-enabled detectors, multiple writing languages and handwriting recognition.
Unlike other AI-driven productivity platforms, Mehrotra said the superhuman tools are designed to enhance human work, not replace it. “We help you in a lot of different ways, but at the end of the day, you’re actually publishing this article, you’re posting a blog, you’re posting an article,” he said. “We continue to move forward with all of our products.”
Superhuman Go is already getting a lot of education. Arizona State University announced today (Oct. 30) that it will be deploying an AI assistant to help adjust recovery tools and improve student support. Although the University already uses various AI tools, Mehrotra said it chose surhuman to integrate those systems and make them easier for students and the skills to use.
Such relationships, he added, highlight Surehuman’s mission to integrate Ayi seamlessly into everyday life. “A lot of AI tools are focused on being where you go—that’s how you get your AI-based product,” Mehrotra said. “We’re bringing AI to you, and we think that’s very different.”
