We’re not an email client like Superhuman, we’re building an executive assistant for you
Fast email clients, like Superhuman, solve a fundamentally different problem. We’re solving the problem of information overload. We believe too many of us are drowning under the volume of email, messages, meetings, action items, and personal chores to keep up. Simply doing the same thing faster won’t work. It has not been possible to realize a better way until AI became good enough to take action on our behalf.
Here’s the Breakdown:
| Feature | Superhuman | Multiplayer |
|-----------------|------------|-------------|
| Design Goal | Designed for helping you be fast in email | Designed to help you stay out of your inbox |
| Email Management | Shortcut keys and a nice UI allow you to go through your inbox faster | AI designed to act as your EA, pre-processing your inbox for you (Richard Branson doesn’t live in his inbox, his EA does for him) |
| Tool Integration | Requires you to learn and use another tool, a dedicated email client | Works natively in Gmail and Google Calendar, and is compatible with most email clients |
| Filtering & Prioritization | Hard-coded filtering rules by sender or keyword only | Content-aware labeling and prioritization with AI pre-reading |
| AI Capabilities | AI features for writing email drafts | AI-native allows Multiplayer to grow in capability with improvements in AI |
| Workload Management | You’re the one doing the work, just faster | An AI that takes proactive action to help you minimize the noise in your day |
| Scope | Focused only on email | Starting with email and calendar, growing from there
