Data Transfer Guide

There is no direct data export/import between Friday AI and Superhuman, as Friday AI operates as a lightweight Gmail extension without a separate data store. Your migration is primarily a workflow transition. The key 'data' is your Gmail account itself—labels, emails, and contacts—which Superhuman accesses directly. To prepare, ensure your Gmail is organized. Any custom reply templates or patterns you created in Friday AI should be manually recreated in Superhuman using its 'Snippets' feature. Superhuman's AI will learn your writing style from your existing email history, so no historical data transfer is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Friday AI to Superhuman?+

No direct transfer is needed. Friday AI doesn't store separate data; it works within Gmail. Superhuman connects directly to your Gmail, so your emails, labels, and contacts are automatically accessible.

How long does migration take?+

For a solo user, the active process takes 1-2 hours, but full acclimatization to Superhuman's speed and shortcuts requires 3-5 days of dedicated use to build new habits.

Will I lose any features switching to Superhuman?+

You will not lose core email functionality. Superhuman replaces and enhances all of Friday AI's features. The only 'loss' is the specific Friday AI interface within Gmail, replaced by Superhuman's standalone client.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Technically yes, but it's not recommended. Running both can cause interface conflicts and hinder learning. A clean break—disabling Friday AI once Superhuman is set up—is the most effective path to proficiency.

Is Superhuman cheaper than Friday AI?+

No. Friday AI has a freemium model, while Superhuman is a premium tool costing $30/month. The migration is a move from a free/limited assistant to a comprehensive, high-performance paid platform.
