Data Transfer Guide

GhostAI stores primarily templates and user preferences rather than email content. Export templates through GhostAI's web interface—typically found in Settings > Templates. Save these as text files. For configuration data, take screenshots of your tone settings and integration setups. Superhuman doesn't directly import GhostAI data, so you'll manually recreate templates in Superhuman's AI settings. During Superhuman setup, connect your email accounts directly—your emails remain in your email provider (Gmail, Outlook). The migration focuses on recreating workflow patterns rather than transferring actual email data. Consider this an opportunity to refine and optimize your templates during recreation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from GhostAI to Superhuman?+
You can export GhostAI templates as text files, but direct data transfer isn't possible. Superhuman requires manual recreation of templates and settings within its different architecture. Your email content remains with your email provider.
How long does migration take?+
Active setup takes 2-4 hours, but full adaptation requires 1-2 weeks of parallel use. The timeline depends on your familiarity with keyboard shortcuts and willingness to adopt Superhuman's different workflow approach.
Will I lose any features switching to Superhuman?+
You'll lose GhostAI's cross-platform support (LinkedIn, Slack) as Superhuman focuses on email. However, you gain superior inbox management, keyboard navigation, and thread summarization. The trade-off is specialization versus breadth.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, parallel use for 1-2 weeks is recommended. Use GhostAI for complex writing while learning Superhuman's email management. This minimizes disruption and allows comparison of AI response quality between platforms.
Is Superhuman cheaper than GhostAI?+
No, Superhuman costs $30/month while GhostAI offers free tiers. However, Superhuman provides a complete email client rather than just writing assistance. The value comparison depends on whether you need just writing help or full email productivity.
