Superhuman is joining the cadre of productivity platforms launching node takers, but rather than building one internally, it is acquiring Y Combinator-backed Fathom. AI-powered productivity platforms aim to automate work. Typically, that automation is triggered when a user types prompts and creates workflows. It would be even better, though, if AI could proactively start work, and for that, the topics and action items discussed in meetings are key.

A lot of these products make the job feel really easy, but it's actually quite tricky to do a great job in all parts of meeting recording. Marotra said that he was
