August is here, which means it’s Ruggy’s birthday month we’re deep in the dog days of summer. The northern hemisphere is chasing the last long weekends, the southern half is dreaming of spring, and the rest of us are just trying to roll into the office without sweating through our shirts like barn animals. But while you’re out soaking up the sun (or hiding from it like me 
), we’ve got a lot to update you on throughout Leo and Virgo season 
We’ll keep adding to this post as new things ship, so check back often:
August 3
Product feature: MCP OAuth (Enterprise)
What changed: Admins can now govern OAuth-based MCP connections
What we did: Added an Enterprise admin control to enable or disable OAuth MCP connections workspace-wide or for specific people; paired with the PAT controls from early July, admins now have full on/off governance across both main MCP connection methods. Existing connections aren’t affected unless an admin explicitly revokes them
Why it matters: More control and security over how your org connects to MCP—OAuth is the method most teams prefer, and admins can now decide exactly who’s allowed to use it

Product feature: Full Access role (Enterprise accounts only)
What changed: A new Full Access permission level sits between Edit and Doc Owner
What we did: Added a Full Access role that lets someone manage sharing, lock and unlock pages and tables, and move a doc—without making them the Doc Owner. It stops short of ownership: Full Access users can’t delete or publish the doc, and it’s a Maker-only role (give it to an Editor, and they’re added as Editor instead; no failed sharing). It can be downgraded back to Edit anytime
Why it matters: Hand off most of a Doc Owner’s control—especially handy when an owner is out and someone needs to hold things down—while keeping delete and publish reserved for the owner
August 5
Subfolders (Team + Enterprise)
You asked for better ways to organize your workspace, and it’s here: subfolders let you nest folders inside other folders, giving you more control over how your work in Docs is structured. Think of it as a long-overdue upgrade to your organization.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nothing about your existing setup changes. Your docs, folders, and permissions are exactly as you left them—reorganize only if you want to.
- Permissions inherit by default. New subfolders automatically pick up the same access as their parent folder, with no extra setup.
- Granular control when you need it. Toggle off “Shared with parent folder” in the Share menu to restrict a subfolder to a smaller group—only people explicitly added will have access.
- Moving works as you’d expect. An inheriting subfolder picks up its new parent’s permissions when moved; custom permissions stay put. Learn more about subfolder permissions here.
How to create one: Open a parent folder → click Create in the upper right → select Create folder → name it → hit Create.

Table usability improvements
We have a lot shipping this summer, and here’s another set of table usability improvements—small-but-mighty updates that make tables easier to navigate, customize, and read. Six new improvements smooth out common table-building moments:
- More ways to organize your tabs. Drag to reorder tabs or combine views, and now separate tabs into standalone views or move tabs between standalone views of the same data.
- Quick access to conditional formatting. It’s now in the main table options menu, so you can style your data without hunting through extra menus.
- Inclusive date and number filters. Date filters now include “on or before” and “on or after,” and number filters add “less than or equal to” and “greater than or equal to”—more precise control when filtering by deadlines, due dates, and more.
- Summary rows that stand out. Clearer visual styling helps you spot totals, counts, and rollups at a glance.
- Clearer control over the new row button. A single control in the table options menu lets you choose Top, Bottom, Both, or None.
- Inline editing for canvas columns. Preview and edit canvas columns directly from the table—we gave the setting a clearer name and switched it on automatically in the moments you’re most likely to want it.
Individually, these are small; together, they make tables feel more polished, predictable, and easier to customize—especially for docs with lots of views, filters, groups, and rich content. It’s also part of a broader investment in the product after the Superhuman Docs launch: listening to long-standing requests and shipping practical updates that make everyday building better.

Product feature: Animated Stickers >> Pls don’t kill the messenger 
What changed: You can now add animated stickers to comments
What we did: Added a sticker picker to the comment toolbar (right between emoji and attachment) with 29 stickers across three artist-curated packs—from Jay Daniel Wright, Henri Campea, and Aran Quinn—that you can drop into a comment alongside text
Why it matters: React with more personality than emoji and text alone—stickers animate wherever you read them in the app, and fall back to a static image on surfaces that can’t animate (print, exports) so nothing gets lost

Superhuman Go 1.0
Today we launched Superhuman Go 1.0, our biggest Go update yet. The problem it solves: even when AI is helpful, it can still feel like a detour—you stop what you’re doing, open a separate chat, explain the context, wait, then copy the answer back into your work. Go removes that detour by showing up where you already are: in your docs, inbox, browser tabs, and workflows. It understands what you’re working on, brings in the right agent, and helps without making you switch contexts.
A few highlights from the launch:
- Build your own agents. Describe what you want, choose what should trigger it, connect the apps it should use, and Go helps create the agent for you.
- Pre-built agents, ready to go. Agents like the Knowledge Checker verify claims against company data, catch outdated numbers, and help fix inaccuracies before you send or publish.
- Go works across more surfaces. That includes the Go app, Go Online, Go at Your Cursor, and Slack. It can also run in the background, search the web, ask clarifying questions, create shareable docs, and learn your preferences over time.

August 14
Product feature: Subscript & superscript formatting
What changed: You can now format text as subscript or superscript
What we did: Added subscript and superscript formatting from the toolbar or via slash commands in the canvas—handy for chemical formulas (H₂O, CO₂), math and science notation (E = mc²), and variables and indexes (x₁ + x₂ + … + xₙ). Works alongside bold, italics, underline, color, and highlighting, in tables as well as regular text; formatting is preserved on copy/paste, and supported during import in AI Editor docs and DOCX export
Why it matters: A small-but-mighty step toward making Docs a more complete home for structured, polished work—now you can write formulas and notation properly instead of working around them

Automation management improvements
We’ve got more new features, and this set is all about smarter automation management—making it easier to build, browse, and manage your automations. Here’s what’s new:
- Understand what your automations do at a glance. Automations now show a clear description and an icon matched to their action, so you can scan the panel without clicking in. Descriptions are editable if you want to fine-tune or write your own.
- Resize the automations panel. Widen the panel to see more while you build, browse, or review.
- Drag to reorder automations. Organize them in the order that makes sense for you and your team by dragging them into place.
- Jump to buttons and tables from automation settings. Go right to the specific button or table an automation references from the panel—the same shortcut also works from the button configuration menu.
- Turn off all automations at once. Disable every automation in a doc with a single click instead of opening each one individually. Especially handy right after you copy a doc, so the copies don’t run twice.
- Jump to a failing automation from notifications. Error notifications now take you straight to the relevant automation itself, not just the doc it lives in.
Individually small, together they make automation management feel less like a scavenger hunt. Whether you’re building something new, reviewing what’s running, or debugging something that broke, you now have clearer context and faster paths to what you need.

Product feature: Superhuman Docs connector for ChatGPT
What changed: Our Superhuman Docs connector for ChatGPT is now approved and published
What we did: Published the connector in ChatGPT’s directory so you can switch to it for use with ChatGPT and Codex. On the GPT/Codex desktop apps, you may need to restart and update the app for the new plugin to appear. Connect via ChatGPT
Why it matters: The official, verified way to connect Superhuman Docs to ChatGPT and Codex—no manual setup, and it’s the connector new users will find
August 18
Product feature: AI columns can extract data from files
What changed: AI columns can now pull structured data out of File columns
What we did: Added the ability for an AI column to read the files sitting in a File column—PDF contracts, invoices, screenshots, images, and more—and extract the specific details you ask for straight into your table’s columns
Why it matters: Turn documents into structured data automatically—drop in a stack of invoices or contracts and let AI fill the fields, enough to stand up something like an invoice-submission app in minutes
Watch a quick demo here.
August 21
Product feature: JSON output for AI columns
What changed: AI columns can now output a JSON type
What we did: Added an explicit JSON output option that tells the AI to reply in JSON and follow your instructions; once the column runs, we check whether the response is valid JSON and, if it isn’t, automatically send a follow-up prompt to fix it
Why it matters: Get structured, reliable JSON out of AI columns so you can manipulate it in later steps—with a built-in retry that boosts adherence to the format you asked for
August 24
Product feature: Superhuman Go for Android
What changed: Superhuman Go is now live on the Google Play Store
What we did: Superhuman Go for Android is now publicly listed and rolling out, bringing Go Assist chat with on-screen context, the floating notch for writing suggestions in any app, and the in-app agent store and connectors. This closes the loop on Go across every platform—web, desktop, iOS, and now Android. Get it on Google Play
Why it matters: Go now goes wherever you do—full access to agents, context-aware chat, and writing help right on your Android phone
August 26
Product feature: Native comments on iOS
What changed: Comments on iOS now open in a native panel
What we did: Rebuilt the iOS comments panel natively, so accessing comments is smoother and more responsive than before
Why it matters: Reading and working through comments on your iPhone feels faster and more fluid—less waiting, smoother scrolling
August 27
Product feature: Disable IF for AI columns
What changed: AI columns now support a Disable IF condition
What we did: Added a Disable IF option to AI columns so you can specify exactly when a column should or shouldn’t run, instead of it applying to every row—bringing AI columns to parity with the button column, which already worked this way
Why it matters: Control when AI columns run so they only fire on the rows that meet your criteria—saving credits and skipping rows you don’t need processed.
This was a request made directly from this community, so keep the ideas coming!

Product feature: Add to Docs from Slack
What changed: You can add a row to any Docs table straight from a Slack message
What we did: Added a message shortcut to the Superhuman Docs Slack app—right-click any message (or use the shortcut menu), pick a destination table, map a few fields, and submit, without leaving Slack. Handy for capturing bug reports into a tracker, logging feedback in the thread it came up in, or creating a task without switching tabs
Why it matters: Turn a Slack message into structured data in your Docs table in a couple of clicks—no tab-switching, no hunting down the right table
August 31
Product feature: Smarter Docs link previews in Slack
What changed: Docs links shared in Slack now unfurl as dynamic, permission-aware previews
What we did: Docs links in Slack now unfurl using Slack Work Objects instead of a static preview—a real-time card view that never goes stale, with a flexpane on the right for more detail, and previews that respect the viewer’s permissions so people only see what they already have access to
Why it matters: Docs previews in Slack stay live and accurate, show more at a glance, and never expose anything someone doesn’t already have access to
