Tech Stack Series (Part 2 of 4): Emailing with Superhuman ⚡️

Let's talk about the email tool that changed my workflow.

Quick disclaimer: I know premium email tools can be a tough sell. Some orgs prefer native Gmail/Outlook, and convincing IT to approve new email clients can be an adventure.

With that said, here's why Superhuman made it into my stack:

After trying a few different email tools, I found my perfect match. The Superhuman team has built what I consider the ideal command center for EAs who live in their inbox.

What I love about it:

• Instant search that actually works (find any email in milliseconds)

• Split inbox with shortcuts (triage 100+ emails in minutes)

• Snippets that turn common responses into two-key commands

• Follow-up reminders that never let important threads slip

• Command bar for lightning-fast actions (my favorite: instantly scheduling emails)

Bonus hack: Combine Superhuman's instant intro feature with snippets. On your keyboard, hit Shift + Command + 'I' to acknowledge the intro and move someone to BCC all at once, then follow with Command + ';' to quickly insert your pre-written response template. Game changer for the endless intro emails we handle.

More tech stack reveals coming soon!
