THE AI AGENT WAR HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN
BSKiller Exclusive: Why Grammarly's $1B Superhuman Bet Changes Everything
Grammarly just acquired Superhuman in a move that BSKiller sources confirm signals the start of the "AI Agent Wars." While mainstream media focuses on the dollar figures, BSKiller readers need to understand what's really happening: This is Microsoft vs. Google 2.0, but for AI productivity agents. Just as Microsoft owned productivity suites while Google dominated search, the winner of AI agent orchestration will set the default rails for knowledge work. Grammarly represents the productivity stack play, while Superhuman controls the email workflow layer.
The timing is surgical—Grammarly secured $1 billion in nondilutive revenue-based financing from General Catalyst, freeing up capital for acquisitions, and Superhuman (last valued at $825M and ~$35M ARR in 2021) gives them instant access to enterprise email workflows where professionals spend ~3 hours daily[1].
Career Impact: BSKiller estimates suggest companies are preparing to deploy AI agent networks that could automate 60-80% of knowledge work tasks in pilot scenarios[4]. The professionals who understand and leverage these systems will become dramatically more valuable—worth 20-30% salary premiums.
Your Move: Start experimenting with Superhuman's AI features now—the percentage of emails composed with AI tools increased 5x in the past year. Early adopters will become the "AI-native" employees every company wants to hire.
