# Switching from Superhuman to Slashy

> What's familiar, what's better, and a keyboard shortcut mapping for Superhuman users.

You chose Superhuman because you wanted fast, keyboard-first email. Slashy shares that DNA -- plus an AI agent that actually does things, not just summarizes.

## What Feels Familiar

These work the same way you are used to:

* **Keyboard-first design** -- navigate, triage, and reply without touching the mouse
* **AI drafts** -- select a thread and get an instant reply draft
* **Split inbox** -- importance labels sort email automatically (like Superhuman's splits)
* **Snippets** -- templated text you insert with a shortcut
* **Read receipts** -- see when your email was opened
* **Scheduled send** -- compose now, send later

## What's Different (and Better)

| Superhuman                     | Slashy                                                                         |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| AI writes drafts you review    | AI agent drafts, sends, schedules, and automates on your behalf                |
| No automations                 | Background automations: dropped ball scanner, meeting prep, receipt forwarding |
| No iMessage integration        | iMessage alerts, summaries, and OTP forwarding                                 |
| Calendar in sidebar only       | Full calendar view with availability insert and Meet With overlay              |
| Calendly needed for scheduling | Insert availability into replies with `Shift+Cmd+A`                            |
| Per-seat pricing adds up       | No per-seat pricing anxiety                                                    |

## Keyboard Shortcut Mapping

Most shortcuts transfer directly. Key differences:

| Action             | Superhuman         | Slashy                    |
| ------------------ | ------------------ | ------------------------- |

| Reply / Reply All  | `r` / `a`          | `r` / `a`                 |
| Forward            | `f`                | `f`                       |
| Send               | `Cmd+Enter`        | `Cmd+Enter`               |

| Mark done          | `e`                | `e` (archive)             |
| Snooze             | `h`                | `h`                       |

| Go to Inbox        | `Cmd+K` > Inbox    | `g i`                     |
| Label / Move       | `l`                | `l` or `v`                |
| Undo               | `Cmd+Z`            | `z` or `Cmd+Z`            |
| Command Palette    | `Cmd+K`            | `Cmd+K`                   |
| AI Draft           | `Cmd+J`            | `Cmd+Enter` (on a thread) |
| AI Agent           | --                 | `Cmd+Shift+L`             |
| Calendar           | `Cmd+K` > Calendar | `2`                       |
| Settings           | `Cmd+K` > Settings | `Cmd+,`                   |
| Shortcut reference | --                 | `Shift+?`                 |

## Feature Mapping

**Superhuman Social Insights** become **Slashy Contact Memories**. Instead of pulling LinkedIn data, Slashy builds context from your email history -- what you have discussed, meeting notes, and facts you add manually. Open the contact sidebar with `p i`.

**Superhuman Snippets** become **Slashy Snippets**. Create with `n s`, insert with `Cmd+Shift+S`. Slashy snippets are more powerful -- they support AI-powered variable substitution (e.g., `{{first_name}}` auto-fills from contact data).

**Superhuman Splits** become **Slashy Importance Labels**. Same concept (auto-sorted inbox sections), but powered by AI classification that learns from your corrections.

## Setting Up Snippets

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a snippet">
    Press `n s` to open the snippet creator. Give it a name, shortcut, and body text.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Insert in compose">
    While composing, press `Cmd+Shift+S` to search and insert a snippet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use variables">
    Add `{{first_name}}`, `{{company}}`, or custom fields. Slashy fills them from contact data automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Migration Checklist

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your Gmail account">
    Sign up at [slashy.com](https://slashy.com) and connect via Google OAuth. All email, labels, and contacts sync automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Recreate your Superhuman Splits as labels">
    Go to **Settings > Labels** and set up importance labels to match your Superhuman Splits. The AI classification learns from corrections.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Migrate snippets">
    Press `n s` to create each snippet. Copy your Superhuman snippet text and add AI variables like `{{first_name}}` for extra power.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up automations">
    Open the agent sidebar (`Cmd+Shift+L`) and set up your first automation -- start with the Dropped Ball Scanner. This is functionality Superhuman does not offer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add AI memories">
    **Settings > Memories** -- describe your communication style. This replaces Superhuman's limited tone settings with full-context personalization.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cancel Superhuman">
    Once you have used Slashy for a week and confirmed your workflow is set up, cancel your Superhuman subscription.
  </Step>
</Steps>
