Key features
Missive
- Shared inboxes and team spaces
- Team inboxes sit next to personal accounts, grouped into team spaces. Conversations can be assigned to a person or a team, with controls over who sees what.
- Internal discussion in threads
- Teammates talk about an email in an internal conversation attached to the thread, so nothing has to be forwarded or CC'd.
- Collaborative drafting
- Several people can write the same reply together in real time before it is sent.
- Rules and automations
- Automate repetitive handling such as assigning or tagging with up to 1,000 rules. Rules are available from the Productive plan.
- Multi-channel inbox
- Email from Gmail, Microsoft 365, iCloud or any IMAP account appears alongside SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and live chat conversations.
- AI assistant and integrations
- An AI assistant drafts and translates replies and can pull context from connected tools over MCP. It comes with Productive, along with 25+ app integrations and the API.
Superhuman Mail
- Split Inbox
- Divides the inbox into separate tabs, for example mail from teammates, VIPs or specific tools, so each stream can be worked through on its own.
- Keyboard shortcuts and Snippets
- Most actions have a keyboard shortcut, and Snippets insert saved phrases, paragraphs or whole emails as you type.
- Superhuman AI
- Write with AI, Instant Reply, Auto Summarize and Auto Labels are on every plan. Auto Drafts, Ask AI and the Mail MCP server need Business or Enterprise.
- Reminders, snooze and send later
- Set a follow-up reminder that fires if nobody replies by a chosen time, snooze threads until they are needed and schedule when a message is sent.
- Shared conversations and comments
- Share a live view of a thread with teammates, comment on it, work on shared drafts and see when a colleague is already replying.
- Calendar and scheduling
- See the day's or week's calendar next to an email, create events, share availability and send booking links, with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams links.
