Meet the AI That Helps You Understand What You Read
Superhuman Team Contributor: Superhuman Team

We have access to more content than ever, but we’re understanding less of it. Documents packed with jargon you don't recognize, research papers written for specialists, or social posts and comments in languages you don’t speak. We often have the right information in front of us, but making sense of it in a way that drives better decisions has become the new challenge.

That’s why we’ve built new Reading Assistance capabilities directly into Superhuman Go.

Most AI helps you produce more content. Reading Assistance helps you actually understand it. Simply highlight any text on your screen, get a plain language explanation, translate it into your preferred language, or ask Go a question, and it will provide clear, relevant context without making you switch tabs, lose your place, or break your flow.

Overloaded with information but underinformed

We all know the feeling. You’re working through a multistep project brief, complex contract, or jargon-heavy research paper. You hit a term you don’t recognize or a section you know is important but can’t understand why. So you open a new tab and search the web. Then you paste something into a chatbot and wait for a response. By the time you’ve made it make sense, you’ve lost your train of thought and run into something else you need help with.

This isn’t just a personal frustration—it’s a systemic problem. Research from Forrester shows that a majority of knowledge workers struggle to turn available information into actionable insights, and many report difficulty extracting the insights they need from data they already have. And it’s not just professionals. Comprehension is the foundation of education, and it improves significantly when contextual support is available at the moment of need, not after the fact.

Existing comprehension tools are usually limited to a specific system, rather than nimble enough to work across all the places you consume content. Reading Assistance in Superhuman Go changes that.

Get Reading Assistance right where you’re reading

Superhuman Go is Grammarly’s AI assistant that works wherever you do, offering proactive support across your workflow. Now with Reading Assistance built in, Go brings the power of context and clarity right to the words on your screen. Highlight any static text on a web page, blog, document, or article, click the floating Go icon, and choose what kind of help you need:

  • Ask Go: Chat with Go about anything you’re reading, whether it’s a single sentence or an entire document. Go responds based on your selection and the surrounding context, so you never have to re-explain what you’re looking at.
  • Translate: Instantly translate words, sentences, or paragraphs into your preferred language with one click. No page reloads, no copy-paste, no tab switching—translation happens right where you’re reading, across 19 supported languages.
  • Explain it: Encounter an unfamiliar term, a dense passage, or a concept you want to go deeper into? Go delivers a clear, plain language explanation with related terms surfaced as clickable chips so you can keep exploring without ever leaving the page.

Traditional AI chatbots and web searches require you to leave what you’re reading to gather additional context and explanation. Superhuman Go is embedded into your reading surface and knows the text you’ve selected and the context surrounding it. This enables Go to provide explanations that are grounded in what you’re actually looking at, not a generic interpretation of an isolated snippet.

When it comes to language translations, Go is built on 16+ years of linguistic expertise from Grammarly, so translations are culturally nuanced and contextually precise, preserving meaning, tone, and intent rather than swapping words one-for-one.

The Next Frontier of AI Isn’t Creation. It’s Comprehension.

Reading Assistance is built for anyone whose ability to contribute, decide, or engage depends on quickly making sense of complex or multilingual content—which, at some point, is all of us.

With Reading Assistance in Go:

  • Knowledge workers can cut through jargon, make global collaboration frictionless, and stay in flow across internal docs, research, and partner communications.
  • Students can interrogate sources in real time, access global research in any language, and engage more confidently with complex academic material.
  • Curious readers can go deeper on anything the moment the question strikes—without opening a single new tab.

Understanding shouldn’t be something you have to go find. It should be right there when you need it.
