Rahul Vohra

Rahul Vohra is a British software entrepreneur who built Rapportive, a Gmail contact plugin acquired by LinkedIn in 2012, before founding Superhuman — a premium email client obsessed with speed and keyboard-driven workflow. Vohra is also known in startup circles for popularising the “product-market fit engine,” a survey-based method for measuring whether users would be “very disappointed” to lose a product.

Rebuilding email as AI-native

As large language models matured, Vohra moved fast to fold them into Superhuman: AI-written drafts, auto-triage, and instant summaries. He frames the mission in terms of reclaiming the trillion hours a year the world loses to email, and reports that Superhuman users answer roughly 72% more emails per hour. After Superhuman was acquired by Grammarly in 2024, Vohra began steering the combined company toward a unified, AI-native productivity suite spanning email, calendar, tasks, and agents.

Vohra’s vision is squarely optimistic: agents that triage, schedule, write, and send on your behalf, leaving humans to the strategic work. Critics of inbox automation worry about tone-deaf AI replies and the erosion of the personal in personal correspondence, but Vohra bets that the time saved is worth the tradeoff — and that users will keep a hand on the wheel.
