Data Transfer Guide

Lavender AI doesn't offer bulk data export of your email history or coaching data. You can manually export performance metrics and saved templates through Lavender's dashboard export functions. Save these as reference documents. For migration to Superhuman, focus on recreating your successful email patterns rather than transferring raw data. Superhuman imports your existing emails directly from your connected email providers (Gmail, Outlook, etc.), so your message history automatically appears. The key transfer is knowledge-based: document Lavender's insights about what makes your emails effective, then apply those principles when training Superhuman's AI and creating snippets. No technical data migration is required beyond connecting your email accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Lavender AI to Superhuman?+
No direct data transfer exists. Export Lavender's insights as reference documents, then recreate successful patterns in Superhuman through AI training and snippets. Your email history transfers automatically when connecting your email accounts.
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 proficiency with new keyboard shortcuts and adjustment from real-time scoring to AI-assisted drafting.
Will I lose any features switching to Superhuman?+
You'll lose Lavender's real-time quality scoring and sales-specific analytics. However, you gain comprehensive email management, thread summarization, and superior speed. The trade-off shifts from specialized optimization to broader productivity.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, run both tools in parallel for 1-2 weeks. Use Lavender to verify email quality while learning Superhuman. This phased approach ensures no degradation in email effectiveness during transition.
Is Superhuman cheaper than Lavender AI?+
No, Superhuman costs $30/month versus Lavender's freemium model. However, Superhuman replaces your entire email client while Lavender supplements existing tools. Consider total cost of your email stack when comparing.
