Grammarly's Parent Company Is Now Called Superhuman

Grammarly renamed its parent company to Superhuman in October 2025, but the writing tool itself kept its familiar name. The rebrand is still rolling out product by product — Coda became Superhuman Docs as recently as July 2026.

Grammarly's parent company changed its name to Superhuman in October 2025 — but the writing tool people actually type into is still called Grammarly. That distinction between the corporate name and the product name is the source of most of the confusion around this rebrand, and the transition is still actively unfolding: Coda, the productivity platform Grammarly acquired, only became "Superhuman Docs" as recently as July 8, 2026.

What Actually Changed, and What Didn't

The company behind Grammarly took the name of Superhuman — the email client it had acquired that same year — and applied it to the entire corporate umbrella, uniting Grammarly (writing), Superhuman Mail (email), and Coda (documents and workflow) under one brand identity. Grammarly's own announcement was explicit that the writing product itself would keep its existing name; existing users' accounts, subscriptions, and the Grammarly interface they already knew remained unchanged in the transition.

Why the Company Chose This Direction

A Superhuman VP told Reworked the name was chosen specifically "to reinforce that AI is here to assist humans" — reflecting the company's shift from a single-purpose grammar checker toward a broader AI productivity suite spanning writing, documents, and email. The rebrand had reportedly been under consideration for a while internally, but moved into active planning after the company acquired Coda in January 2025 and then the Superhuman email client that summer, giving it three distinct products worth unifying under one identity.

Keeping "Grammarly" as the product name while changing the company name to something else is a specific, deliberate choice — the company is betting that the Grammarly brand still carries more recognition and trust with everyday users than a new corporate identity would, even as it repositions itself more broadly as an AI productivity company behind the scenes. Most people who use Grammarly daily may never notice the company itself has a different name now, and that appears to be by design rather than oversight.

The Rollout Is Still Happening, Product by Product

Rather than renaming everything at once, Superhuman has been converting acquired products to the new brand on a staggered timeline — Coda specifically transitioned to "Superhuman Docs" on July 8, 2026, roughly nine months after the initial corporate rebrand, with existing documents, tables, formulas, and automations continuing to function under the new name. That gap between the announcement and the full product-level rollout is part of why the rebrand can feel incomplete or confusing even now — different parts of the suite have been migrating on different schedules.

The Acquisition Pattern Hasn't Stopped

In February 2026, Superhuman acquired Rows, a spreadsheet tool, with Rows.com scheduled to sunset in May 2026 as its functionality folds into the broader suite — a continuation of the same consolidation pattern that produced the original Coda and Superhuman Mail acquisitions. Shishir Mehrotra, Coda's former CEO, now leads the combined company, which reflects how much of the current direction traces back to that specific 2025 acquisition rather than organic growth from Grammarly's original grammar-checking product.

What This Means for Someone Using Grammarly Today

For a user who only ever interacts with the grammar-checking browser extension, essentially nothing has changed — the product, its name, and its core functionality remain the same as before the corporate rebrand. What has changed is what sits around it: Grammarly Pro subscribers now get access to the broader Superhuman suite, including Superhuman Go (an AI assistant built into the same extension) and, increasingly, the renamed versions of Coda and the email client, bundled at a price comparable to what a single Grammarly subscription used to cost alone.


Grammarly the product hasn't disappeared or been renamed — the company behind it has, and that distinction is worth understanding given how much confusion a corporate rebrand like this tends to generate. The transition is also not a single event that already finished: with Coda only converting to Superhuman Docs in July 2026 and further acquisitions like Rows still being absorbed, the full picture of what "Superhuman" actually encompasses is still being assembled, product by product.
