Superman Human introduces AI-driven classification to reduce spam emails in your inbox

More than two years have passed since the Chatgpt scene broke out. Shortly thereafter, almost every email application integrated AI-powered email writing and summary. Some have also introduced AI-powered searches so that you can quickly filter your inbox. Superman is now using AI to try to solve one of the main pain points of email: classification.

Google was one of the companies that initially focused on putting emails in different brackets from their inbox email clients — but the company shut down it down in 2019. Since then, various clients including Gmail (including Gmail's local clients) have tried to copy it and have had different successes. Rates.

Superman is now trying to do something similar with its new car tag feature, which assigns tags such as marketing, tone, social and news to emails related to these areas. Additionally, you can write prompts to create your own new tags. The email client focuses on browsing your emails as soon as possible, so some tags can be used automatically if you don't need to see emails in that category.

"One of the main things we've heard from our customers over the past year is that there are more and more cold emails that include marketing and spam. They ask us why Superman isn't filtering these emails? At the time, we relied on Gmail and Outlook spam filtering, but that didn't solve it. So we decided to hand things over to our own tag iterations for classification.

One disadvantage of the automatic tagging feature at publish time is that you cannot edit the prompts for creating categories. This means that if you feel the current prompt is abnormal and you want to filter out some emails you think will be automatically classified, you have to create a new promopt.

The app enables you to create a split inbox based on the filters you set, such as emails that contain certain topics or emails from a specific domain name. You can now also create a new split inbox using one of the customers as well as existing filters.

Superman is also enhancing its reminder feature. You can already call snooze email to surface later. But now, when you reply to certain emails for certain emails, the app automatically floats the email after the defined time - if you don't get a response, you can change it through settings. With this feature, there is also an AI-powered automatic selection feature that automatically drafts your voice follow-up while maintaining the context of the conversation and your replies tone. This is the "soft slight" version of Superman's recipient.

Vohra told TechCrunch that the next step for the company is to integrate different knowledge bases that represent you, such as your website and Wikipedia pages. The app already has access to your schedule via the calendar.

With all this context in mind, in the future, Superman’s AI can automatically reply to emails that need to be responded to, and if you are satisfied with that, some replies may be automatically sent. For example, it may respond to a request for a meeting with potential time periods.

Superman is also designed to build IFTTT-style (if so, then) in conjunction with prompts. For example, if you receive an email about a recruitment, you can set a template for your reply via AI prompts and forward the email to the recruitment department if it meets certain criteria.

While email clients automatically respond to emails is a long way to go, classification is an annoying pain point that can be addressed today. And the promised new tag feature looks useful - as long as it accurately puts the email into a different bucket.
