What is Chanty?
Chanty's feed is an HR statistics content mill, not a product changelog
Every entry in the window is a marketing article — referral, theft and satisfaction statistics roundups, plus a run of competitor-alternatives listicles published in a single batch. Nothing here describes a change to the messaging product itself.
What is Superhuman?
Superhuman is rebuilding around the assistant: pre-drafted replies and multi-account MCP.
Superhuman ships small and often, and its releases now split cleanly in two. One half is conventional client work — calendar on Android, multi-day views on iPhone and iPad, personalized availability sharing. The other is an aggressive agent surface: Auto Drafts 2.0 pre-drafts a reply to every message that needs one, and the Mail MCP now drives multiple Gmail and Outlook accounts from Claude, ChatGPT and Codex.

Chanty's feed is an HR statistics content mill, not a product changelog
◆ Current state
Every entry in the window is a marketing article — referral, theft and satisfaction statistics roundups, plus a run of competitor-alternatives listicles published in a single batch. Nothing here describes a change to the messaging product itself.
◆ Where it's heading
The publishing effort is going into search-driven HR and collaboration content aimed at buyers comparing team chat tools, with the alternatives posts targeting Slack, Yammer, Jive, Google Chat and Skype by name. Product direction cannot be read from this feed at all.
◆ Prediction
Expect more statistics roundups and comparison listicles; the feed gives no basis for predicting anything about the product.
Superhuman
7.5COMMS
Superhuman is rebuilding around the assistant: pre-drafted replies and multi-account MCP.
◆ Current state
Superhuman ships small and often, and its releases now split cleanly in two. One half is conventional client work — calendar on Android, multi-day views on iPhone and iPad, personalized availability sharing. The other is an aggressive agent surface: Auto Drafts 2.0 pre-drafts a reply to every message that needs one, and the Mail MCP now drives multiple Gmail and Outlook accounts from Claude, ChatGPT and Codex.
◆ Where it's heading
The centre of gravity is moving off Superhuman's own client. Each recent release makes the mailbox more usable from somewhere else — first a Codex plugin with prebuilt workflows, then parallel search across every connected account — while in-app work is mostly mobile parity. Superhuman is positioning as the mail layer assistants call, and it names the single-account limit of the first-party Gmail and Outlook connectors as the reason to switch.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to keep absorbing the features that only the client could do — Split Inbox triage, Read Statuses, Smart Send are already listed — with the native apps continuing to trail on platform parity.
