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

emailai-agentsmcpsplit-inboxproductivitymobile
◆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.
