Superhuman challenges Gmail with its own smart filtering system
Superhuman has introduced a revolutionary solution to combat the growing flow of unwanted correspondence by launching an AI-based automatic email categorization system. The new Auto Label feature is designed to solve one of the most pressing problems of modern email – efficient filtering of incoming messages.
After ChatGPT appeared more than two years ago, almost all email clients implemented AI functions for composing emails and creating their brief descriptions. However, Superhuman went further by offering an innovative approach to email inbox organization.
“Over the past year, our clients have constantly complained about the growing flow of cold emails, marketing newsletters, and spam. They asked why Superhuman doesn’t filter these emails? Previously, we relied on Gmail and Outlook spam filters, but their effectiveness proved insufficient. So we decided to take email classification into our own hands,” – explained Superhuman CEO Rahul Vohra in an interview with TechCrunch.
The new Auto Label system automatically assigns labels such as “marketing”, “commercial offer”, “social networks” and “news” to emails. A unique feature of the solution is the ability to create custom labels using text queries, which allows customizing categorization for individual needs.
An important advantage of the new functionality is the ability to automatically archive emails of certain categories. This fully aligns with Superhuman’s philosophy aimed at processing email correspondence as quickly as possible.
It’s worth noting that the idea of email categorization isn’t new – Google was one of the pioneers in this field with its Inbox client, which, however, was shut down in 2019. Since then, various email clients, including standard Gmail, have tried to reproduce similar functionality, but with varying success.
The launch of Auto Label by Superhuman marks a new stage in the development of email management tools, where artificial intelligence is used not only for content creation but also for its effective organization. This is especially relevant in conditions of constant growth in business correspondence and marketing newsletters.

MIT graduate student reduced painting restoration from 230 to 3.5 hoursMIT graduate student Alex Kachkin developed a cool method for painting restoration using artificial intelligence. Reducing work time from many months to several hours. As a demonstration, he restored a work by an unknown Dutch master of the 15th century that had seriously suffered from time.
AI prosthetic from Canada analyzes objects and decides how to grasp themArtificial intelligence gives prosthetics independence! Scientists from Memorial University of Newfoundland created a revolutionary arm prosthetic that literally "thinks" for itself. Unlike traditional models that require reading muscle signals through sensors, the new device is completely autonomous.
DeepSeek packed LLM engine into 1200 lines of Python codeThe DeepSeek team presented nano-vLLM. This is a lightweight and compact engine for running large language models. Which could change perceptions about code efficiency. Amazingly, all functionality fit into just 1200 lines of Python code! This is true technological minimalism in the world of artificial intelligence. Traditional engines like this, for all their power, often suffer from an overloaded codebase. Which makes their modification a real trial for developers. Nano-vLLM solves this problem by offering a simple but powerful tool without unnecessary complexity. The code is open.
Tesla robotaxi failure: 11 traffic violations in first days from 20 carsThe dream of robotaxis faces harsh reality! Tesla launched public tests of autonomous taxis in Austin, but the results were far from the promised technological miracle. In the first days of testing, at least 11 serious traffic violations were recorded. And this with only 20 vehicles selected for a limited circle of bloggers. Philip Koopman, professor at Carnegie Mellon University and expert on autonomous technologies, doesn't hide his surprise: "This is terribly fast for so many videos with unstable driving to appear".
