Superpowered, founded in 2020 by Jordan Dearsley and Nikhil Gupta, is a Y Combinator-backed startup that initially focused on AI-powered productivity tools for meeting management and calendaring. The company has since pivoted to become Vapi, a voice API platform that allows developers to create natural-sounding AI assistants. The original Superpowered product remains operational and profitable, serving over 10,000 weekly active users.
The Superpowered product features an AI-powered meeting assistant that automates note-taking and integrates with calendars to enhance productivity for professionals. Vapi, the new focus, enables the development of conversational AI agents for various applications, including customer support bots and virtual assistants. The transition to Vapi addresses scalability challenges in the productivity app market and meets the growing demand for voice AI solutions.
