What is Twist?

A French telecom-fleet management tool quietly shipping fixes — no recent activity in over a year.

This Twist is not Doist's messaging app — it's a French B2B platform for managing corporate mobile telecom fleets (lines, SIM cards, terminal inventory, operator orders). The visible window is dominated by small audit-module fixes, SIM validation tweaks, mail parser improvements and one earlier Bouygues operator API connector. The most recent shipping activity dates to September 2024.

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.

Twist vs Superhuman: editorial side-by-side

Twist

0.0

A French telecom-fleet management tool quietly shipping fixes — no recent activity in over a year.

◆ Current state

This Twist is not Doist's messaging app — it's a French B2B platform for managing corporate mobile telecom fleets (lines, SIM cards, terminal inventory, operator orders). The visible window is dominated by small audit-module fixes, SIM validation tweaks, mail parser improvements and one earlier Bouygues operator API connector. The most recent shipping activity dates to September 2024.

◆ Where it's heading

The trajectory in the captured window points to operational maintenance rather than category expansion: tightening data validation, fixing edge cases in audit reporting, supporting more telecom-data formats. The earlier Bouygues API connector hinted at a machine-to-machine ambition with the major French carriers, but follow-through (Orange, SFR) is not visible in this window. Public release cadence appears to have gone quiet.

◆ Prediction

Hard to call from the visible entries. If the Orange and SFR API connectors promised in 2024 ever shipped, they would have been the natural next chapter; their absence suggests either delayed delivery or a move to private release notes. Watch for whether public changelog cadence resumes at all.

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.
