What is Vonage?

Vonage's changelog feed is just SDK page nav — no current release substance is reaching the view.

Every Vonage entry in this slice is a per-SDK index page captured by the crawler — Ruby, .NET, Java, Kotlin, Node, Python, PHP SDK changelogs plus the Video Android, Video macOS, and CLI changelogs. The bodies are all the same site-wide navigation chrome ('API Status, Service Under Maintenance, Documentation, Vonage Business Cloud, Vonage Contact Center...'), with no actual release notes. The most recent dated entry is from October 2025; nothing in this slice reflects 2026 activity.

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.

Vonage's changelog feed is just SDK page nav — no current release substance is reaching the view.

◆ Current state

Every Vonage entry in this slice is a per-SDK index page captured by the crawler — Ruby, .NET, Java, Kotlin, Node, Python, PHP SDK changelogs plus the Video Android, Video macOS, and CLI changelogs. The bodies are all the same site-wide navigation chrome ('API Status, Service Under Maintenance, Documentation, Vonage Business Cloud, Vonage Contact Center...'), with no actual release notes. The most recent dated entry is from October 2025; nothing in this slice reflects 2026 activity.

◆ Where it's heading

Cannot read product trajectory from this slice. The dates suggest Vonage maintains parallel SDKs across at least seven languages plus dedicated Video SDKs and a CLI, with the Ruby SDK most recently touched in October 2025 and the Video Android SDK at v2.33.0 in February 2026. The 'Service Under Maintenance' string in every body is concerning if accurate, but more likely it's a status banner being captured rather than a real outage indicator.

◆ Prediction

Until SDK release notes flow into this view rather than the index pages, predictions are speculative. Based on the SDK list, Vonage continues investing across language ecosystems and maintains dedicated Video SDKs alongside its core communications APIs. A new minor release on one of the more active SDKs is plausible within a quarter, but cadence and substance can't be inferred from this slice.

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.
