Magpie vs Superhuman
Superhuman makes email faster. Magpie makes communication complete. Superhuman is the best email client — but it's still just email, and still just words. Magpie unifies every channel with actions that extract themselves.
Side by Side
| Feature | Superhuman | Magpie |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | AI-powered email client | People-native communication platform |
| Channels | Email only | Email, Slack, Teams, LinkedIn |

| AI function | Drafts, summaries, triage | Tone transformation + action extraction |
| Actions | Manual (you create tasks) | Automatic (tasks surface) |
| Core promise | Fastest email experience | True communication: words + action |
Where Superhuman Wins
Let's be honest — Superhuman does some things well:
- Blazing fast interface
- Keyboard-first design
- AI-powered drafts and summaries
- Split inbox and triage features
- Beautiful, polished experience
Where Superhuman Falls Short
It's still just email
You finish triaging Superhuman. Now you open Slack. Then LinkedIn. Then Teams. The same person is in four places. Context is scattered.
It's still just words
"Can we meet Thursday at 2pm?" You read it, reply "Sure" — then manually open your calendar. Create the event. Add the Zoom link. Invite them.
The Magpie Difference
Every channel, one view
Sarah emails you Monday. Slacks you Tuesday. LinkedIn messages you Wednesday. In Magpie: one continuous conversation with Sarah.
Words become action
"Let's meet Thursday at 2pm" → Meeting appears. "Can you send the proposal?" → Task surfaces. You don't manage communication. Magpie handles it.
Write once, deliver anywhere
Type your message once. Magpie transforms it for email (professional), Slack (casual), or LinkedIn (polished). No prompting. No copy-paste.
"Superhuman makes email faster. Magpie makes communication complete."
