Details
Superhuman Docs, called Coda until 8 July 2026, is documents with superpowers: think Notion but more programmable. Founded by Shishir Mehrotra (ex-YouTube VP) and Alex DeNeui. Used by Uber, Figma, Square, NYT. Better than Notion for complex workflows; worse for simple note-taking.
It is now part of Superhuman’s suite alongside Superhuman Mail, Grammarly and Go. Existing Coda docs moved over automatically, and prices did not change with the new name. The free plan includes collaborative docs, connected tables, forms and automations with a low quota. Pro costs $12 per Doc Maker per month billed annually ($15 monthly), and Business costs $33 ($40 monthly).
Otter.ai transcribes your meetings in real-time. Founded by Sam Liang (ex-Google location services lead). Hit $100M ARR without a single sales rep: grew purely through word of mouth from journalists who loved the free tier. Great for anyone who needs meeting notes without manual typing.
