Dearflow vs Superhuman

Written By Dearflow Team

Last updated 6 months ago

While Superhuman has established itself as the premium email client for productivity-focused professionals, DearFlow (Flora) represents a revolutionary leap forward in AI-powered email assistance. Both platforms promise to transform your relationship with email, but they take fundamentally different approaches—and the differences reveal why DearFlow is the superior choice for modern professionals seeking true productivity breakthroughs.

Dearflow : Your Hyper-personalized AI Assistant

The Fundamental Philosophy Gap

Superhuman's Approach: Superhuman operates as a premium email client replacement—essentially a beautiful, fast interface layered on top of Gmail and Outlook with extensive keyboard shortcuts and AI features. It's designed to make you faster at processing email through what they call "velocity-focused design".

DearFlow's Vision: DearFlow takes a proactive intelligence approach—Flora doesn't just help you process email faster, she anticipates your needs and acts before you even realize tasks need attention. Instead of making you a faster email processor, Flora transforms you into a strategic decision-maker by handling the administrative work invisibly.

Revolutionary Features: DearFlow's Unique Advantages

Screen Watching Technology (DearFlow Exclusive)

While Superhuman focuses on keyboard shortcuts and interface optimization, DearFlow offers revolutionary screen watching capability—Flora can see what's on your screen and bring up relevant information contextually. This breakthrough feature has no equivalent in Superhuman and represents a fundamentally different approach to AI assistance.

AI Chat : Cursor for Daily Task

Superhuman prioritizes keyboard shortcuts and relies on traditional clicking interfaces. DearFlow prioritizes AI interactions—you can chat naturally to Flora, and she responds like a proactive teammate. This eliminates the learning curve of memorizing dozens of keyboard shortcuts that Superhuman requires.

True Proactive Intelligence

Superhuman's AI is reactive—it helps you write better emails, categorizes incoming messages, and provides summaries after you've already received them. DearFlow's AI is proactive—Flora anticipates what you need, handles tasks before you remember them, and creates space for strategic thinking rather than tactical email processing.
