How to Turn Off Superhuman AI

Isaac Hinman·Co-founder, Marco

The short answer

On desktop, press Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and choose Deactivate Superhuman AI. If you only see Activate Superhuman AI, it is already off.

Turn off Superhuman AI on desktop

  1. Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to open Superhuman Command.
  2. Type Superhuman AI.
  3. Choose Deactivate Superhuman AI.

Turn off Superhuman AI on iPhone

  1. Pull down from the top of the inbox, then swipe right to open Superhuman Command.
  2. Type Superhuman AI.
  3. Choose Deactivate Superhuman AI.

Superhuman's help centre says Android users need to turn Superhuman AI on from desktop, so manage the setting from the desktop app if you are on Android.

What Superhuman AI includes

Superhuman AI covers a long list of features:

  • Auto Summarize, a one-line summary under the subject of each conversation
  • Instant Reply and Write with AI for drafting
  • Ask AI for questions about your inbox
  • Auto Labels, Auto Archive, Auto Reminders, and Auto Drafts
  • Instant Event and a Knowledge Base

What Superhuman stores while AI is on

Superhuman publishes how it handles AI data:

  • With Ask AI enabled, Superhuman stores your emails with a SOC 2 compliant third-party vendor, encrypted in transit and at rest.
  • For Instant Reply and Auto Summarize, it stores queries and responses for 90 days.
  • For Write with AI, it does not store queries or responses.
  • Ask AI queries and responses are stored to improve quality and for debugging.
  • Superhuman says neither it nor any vendor trains on your data, and you can ask for your data to be deleted by emailing [email protected].

If you want an inbox with no AI at all

Settings reduce what an email app does with your mail, but the features ship switched on and new ones arrive with updates. Marco is an email client that does not generate, rewrite, summarise, or reply to email with AI. It works with Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, and any IMAP provider, so you keep your address and leave the AI layer behind.
