What is Fellow?

Fellow's public changelog has been silent since 2021 — no recent direction is observable here.

The visible signal stops in spring 2021. The last few releases were calendar-extension touch-ups: action items appearing directly in the Google Calendar extension, public view-only meeting links for external attendees, and multi-calendar sync within a single Google or Office account. Nothing in this dataset reflects the past several years of Fellow's actual work.

What is Superhuman?

Superhuman bets on agent-operable email: a Codex plugin now drives the inbox.

Superhuman is pushing two threads: making the inbox drivable by AI agents, and refining its Split Inbox system. The newest move is a Codex plugin, built on its MCP, that lets Codex, Claude, and ChatGPT search, draft, triage, and act on mail using Superhuman-native primitives like Split Inbox and read statuses. Around it sit steady Split Inbox and mobile UX improvements.

Fellow vs Superhuman: editorial side-by-side

Fellow's public changelog has been silent since 2021 — no recent direction is observable here.

◆ Current state

The visible signal stops in spring 2021. The last few releases were calendar-extension touch-ups: action items appearing directly in the Google Calendar extension, public view-only meeting links for external attendees, and multi-calendar sync within a single Google or Office account. Nothing in this dataset reflects the past several years of Fellow's actual work.

◆ Where it's heading

From the entries alone, no current trajectory can be inferred — the data is years stale. Whether Fellow has shifted to AI-meeting-notes or remained focused on the original meeting-management surface is not visible here and would be guesswork to assert.

◆ Prediction

Predictions can't be grounded in this data. The most useful next step is to refresh Fellow's changelog source so that present-day moves are captured.

S6.3

Superhuman bets on agent-operable email: a Codex plugin now drives the inbox.

◆ Current state

Superhuman is pushing two threads: making the inbox drivable by AI agents, and refining its Split Inbox system. The newest move is a Codex plugin, built on its MCP, that lets Codex, Claude, and ChatGPT search, draft, triage, and act on mail using Superhuman-native primitives like Split Inbox and read statuses. Around it sit steady Split Inbox and mobile UX improvements.

◆ Where it's heading

Superhuman is positioning itself as the email client AI agents operate, not just one humans use — its MCP, Draft Sync with Gmail and Outlook, and now a Codex plugin all point the same way. In parallel it keeps sharpening Split Inbox (reorder, hide-empty, a Reminders split) and mobile flow. The bet is agent-operability plus opinionated triage as the wedge against Gmail and Outlook.

◆ Prediction

Expect more agent surface — additional MCP hosts and agent-drivable actions — alongside continued Split Inbox personalization. The entries point to agentic email as the primary investment line.
