Breef vs Superhuman
Superhuman is an email client: you read, write and triage email in it. Breef isn’t an email client at all. It reads the inbox you already have and turns the emails that need you into tasks.
Which one is for you
They solve different problems, and some people use both.
Choose Superhuman
if you want to replace Gmail or Outlook with a faster email app, write replies with AI, and are happy for it to manage your mail.
Choose Breef
if you’re happy with your email app and want a list of what your inbox asks of you, with due dates, without giving any app permission to send or change email.
Use both
Breef reads your mailbox, not an app, so it works the same whichever email app you read it in.

Questions
What people ask before connecting an inbox.
Not as a task list. It sorts email into labels such as Respond, and can remind you to follow up. Breef makes a task with a due date for each email that asks something of you.
