Grammarly Throws Out Its Old Name and Decides It’s “Superhuman” Now – Because Apparently Ego Inflation Is a Feature

Well, hold on to your keyboards, because Grammarly – yes, the company that’s been nagging you for years about your goddamn commas – has apparently lost its collective mind and decided it’s now called Superhuman. Yeah, same grammar cops, new shiny costume. Apparently, helping you write a halfway coherent email wasn’t flashy enough, so now it’s an “AI productivity platform” with a “new intelligent assistant.” Because we didn’t have enough bots pretending they’re our best mates already.

So what’s the deal? They’ve slapped a fresh coat of branding paint on the old grammar-checker, plugged in more buzzwords than a Silicon Valley investor pitch, and are now trying to convince everyone that they’re your digital buddy who’ll write, plan, and think for you. Because clearly, writing your own damn email is beneath the modern corporate soul. “AI assistant for knowledge work,” they say. Translation: it’s the same old software, just with more power to overcorrect you and cost probably twice as much.

They claim this AI will help summarize meetings, write emails, and even generate creative drivel, which sounds great until you realize half the world’s inboxes will now be filled with AI-written bullshit sounding suspiciously like it came from the same neural donkey. It’s like Clippy on steroids, except this one also judges your tone, your mood, and probably your poor life choices while it’s at it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love tech that saves time, but holy hell, the tech world’s obsession with rebranding like a midlife crisis on caffeine is getting out of hand. What’s next, “Excel” becomes “BRAIN MATRIX 3000”? Christ on a command prompt, can we stop pretending every single AI upgrade is the second coming?

Anyway, if you’re dying to read the corporate fluff yourself, knock yourself out: https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/29/grammarly-rebrands-to-superhuman-launches-a-new-ai-assistant/

Reminds me of that time I renamed my workstation “GODMODE” just to piss off the new intern who kept asking if it meant I could hack NASA. Kid deleted his own home directory trying to prove me wrong. Sweet digital justice.
