    @GaelBreton Triggers are the easy half. What keeps a small business on Zapier or Make is the boring part: retries, error visibility, and one place to look when a run silently stops firing. An assistant that reacts to a Slack or Gmail change is great until the day it does not, and nobody notices for a week because there is no run history and no owner. Worth watching what this ships next on logs and failure handling.

    I built a Grok Bot agent whose only job is to book golf tee times for me. Saturday mornings before 8:30am (and the heat) are the most popular and hard to get. Slots disappear in minutes. If someone cancels at 2pm or 11pm. Or while I'm driving or in a meeting and can't login. So the bot watches for me. A Noteefy alert hits Gmail. The bot reads it, logs into the booking platform, uses the credit card on file, and books the time before I would have even opened the email. Grok Bot did in 5 minutes what took me months to set up in OpenClaw. Really does feel like a big step forward in mass adoption of ai agents. Also multi agent layout is the part I like most. One bot=one job. Makes it easy to spin up a new agent for a specific task. I've built a few for work as well. One checks Slack for messages I missed. One checks Gmail for the same. One posts action items into Slack after meetings. So far all of them are running more reliably than the same jobs I tried with Claude routines or ChatGPT scheduled tasks.

    @poteto @bot I signed up for the Supergrok Heavy last Thursday. Grok Bot went through an entire week's worth of usage on day 1, and another $1000+ in on-demand usage since then. I love the concept, but this is ridiculous. Grok Bot is incredible, but here are some major problems I'm having during my first week. 1. Since all the bots share a computer, they are all logged into the same Chrome sessions. Fine -- but I have different projects with different accounts that a bot needs to be logged into for each one. So I created Chrome profiles. The profiles seem to get wiped clean frequently, so I had to make a bot to police the other bots and force them to stay in the correct profiles for their projects. The plugins also only connect to one account each. Like Gmail only connects to one Gmail account. 2. I can chat with regular Grok all day and not reach any kind of token limit. If I try to work through the same things with Grok Bot, it burns through so money so quickly. But I want the bots to have the context of the conversation I'm having, and using regular Grok is completely separate from anything I'm working on in Grok Bot. 3. One bot, one screen. Why can't the same bot do things on multiple screens at the same time? I'm limited to one computer at a time because I'm human and I only have 1 set of eyes and 2 hands. I shouldn't have to spin up several bots for something that should be covered under the same role, just so different tasks can be done asynchronously. One bot brain with multiple screens should be able to handle tasks a lot faster, and skip having to communicate between different bots to get something done. 4. Authentication/Passkey/WindowsHello/2FA always requires human interaction. Any way to set up a password store and Passkeys on the Bot computer to avoid me having to re-login all the time? 5. Bot looks like it's "thinking" but the screen is still. What's going on? Am I getting billed for this silent time? Need way more transparency regarding how much usage is happening, or I'll go bankrupt before Grok Bot actually has a chance to help bring in revenue.

    @AskWorkspace @GoogleWorkspace Is a terrible experience on all access. Terrible integration point. You can do so little with it. And basically cannot integrate it into your life without their other terrible Gmail and Gemini apps. It scammed me suspending access and charging for it.

    couple things for anyone trying to get past 100k/mo without blowing themselves up 1. stop optimizing your ads for the opt in some absolute mouth breathers are opting into any and every funnel they see they get a quick dopamine hit and think "time to grind! im up now!" only to never show up or even worse they do show up!! and complain when they cant pay you with the money they earn from your business model we dont want to optimize around these people put a low ticket item in the funnel and optimize on that. standard is a $27 vip ticket right after registration. but you can get creative real offer, people actually want it, and it feeds the pixel enough volume to work with the money is still in the back. the $27 is just there so meta has something to learn from. Someone who buys this is much more likely to convert much less likely to close the laptop once your closer sends over a payment link 2. your chargeback ratio will end you faster than your ad spend and almost nobody is watching it visa moved the VAMP threshold from 2.2% to 1.5% on earlier this year. it counts fraud reports plus disputes divided by settled transactions, and it only looks at card not present that's you. that's every info offer on earth cross it and you're enrolled at $8 per disputed transaction. keep going and you lose the account, and terminated merchants land on a list that follows you for FIVE years the fix isn't a softer refund policy. it's terms built so you can actually fight one. signed acknowledgment, defined deliverables, explicit refund language, income disclaimer we've won disputes at the processor level twice on the paperwork alone most people just eat them and have never heard the word representment 3. your emails and texts aren't arriving and nothing is going to tell you 5,000 sends a day to gmail or yahoo and you're a bulk sender permanently, even if your volume drops later spam complaints hit 0.30% and you lose delivery support. you want to be under 0.10% never send cold outreach from the domain your receipts and reminders go out on. one bad campaign and the money mail stops landing same story on sms. ***** list, carrier throttles you quietly, reminders never arrive, show rate craters then everyone sits in a meeting deciding the offer must be broken 4. hire someone to run your sales team who is genuinely unwell about ops not another closer. a manager someone tracking every call, vetting and training reps, reviewing recordings, who can tell you which rep loses people at which minute most operators hire three closers and zero people to manage them, then wonder why revenue per rep looks like a slot machine might be the highest leverage hire in the entire business and it's the last one anyone makes stack these and you'll survive your own growth

    So this week I tried Grok Bot. Pretty damn good. Easy to use, which is rarer than it should be. Wouldn't let me connect Gmail. The app just gets blocked on the connect screen. That's the job. Try the thing. Hit the stupid error. Find out what's actually ready.

    Feature 3: He set up Do Not Disturb While Driving — the setting that automatically silences every non-essential notification the moment Android Auto connects. "How many notifications buzzed the dashboard during 12 hours of driving?" "Constant. It never stopped." "That's the problem. Instagram. Gmail. News apps. Shopping alerts. Group chats. Every single notification popped up on the Android Auto screen while someone was driving at highway speed. Every banner pulled attention. Every buzz moved eyes from the road to the screen, even for a fraction of a second. Over 12 hours, that's potentially hundreds of interruptions on a dashboard designed to keep a driver focused." "Android's Do Not Disturb While Driving mode silences all of it. You set it up once in your phone's Settings under Do Not Disturb, then add an automation rule that activates it when Android Auto connects. You choose which contacts can still reach you, family, your partner, close friends, and everything else goes silent. An auto-reply sends itself to anyone who messages during the drive telling them you're on the road." "It activates automatically every time the phone connects. No manual toggle. No remembering. Plug in. The noise stops. Unplug. The notifications return. One setup, one time, and every drive afterward is distraction-free."

    @RebCoPTrainee I receive emails from patients’ hotmail/outlook etc accounts without issue. None go into my junk folder. I can also send reminders& forward stuff from my home accounts (gmx, gmail or yahoo) without the need to set an exclusion rule. I expect it depends on the individual Trust.

    To be clear, renting a tool isn't the problem. Gmail is a rental and that's fine, because you can export your data and leave anytime.

    @UmbraPrivacy absolutely mogs. No connect wallet No seed phrase Google sign in Apple ID sign in You can create a new wallet without the need for a seed phrase or private key and just back it to up your Google account. It is literally as easy as signing up for your Gmail in way shorter steps.

    @grok @ProtonMail @FrameworkPuter Yes, I have checked it later with Gmail domain - the same message is the same but the reason why B2B communication should allow hosting domains is for the purpose of continuity of communication when the organisational domain is down for whatever reason. The fact that someone is contacting a business using a general hosting domain should not immediately filter the contact out because it might be a temporal technical issue such as domain name change or other. In fact I prefer to contact other key business partners from a general email domain to protect communication continuity in case of any issues with the organisational domain.

    @RavynSkye1 @PressSec “I can exist just fine without the internet.” Congratulations. That's not what anyone asked. The question is how much of your ordinary modern life depends on American goods, companies and services. Let's count just ten: 1. Your smartphone. Apple dominates Canada's smartphone market, with roughly 58% of Canadian cellphone owners using an iPhone. 2. Your social media. You're literally posting this argument on X, an American platform. 3. Your search engine. Google is American. How many times a day do you use it? 4. Your email. Gmail is American. So is Microsoft Outlook. 5. Your cloud storage and computing. Amazon, Microsoft and Google control about 85% of Canada's public cloud market. 6. Your credit card. Visa and Mastercard are American payment networks. The Bank of Canada specifically identifies VisaNet and Mastercard's payment systems as major payment systems relied upon by millions of Canadians every day. 7. Your streaming. Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Spotify are all American companies. 8. Your online shopping. Amazon is American, and millions of Canadians use American payment and technology infrastructure to buy things online. 9. Your computer software. Windows, Microsoft 365, Teams and countless other programs Canadians use every day come from American companies. 10. Your digital payments. Canadians made 22.5 billion retail payment transactions in 2024, with credit and debit cards accounting for 63% of payment volume. Mobile contactless payments alone reached 3.4 billion transactions. So yes, I'm sure you could survive without the internet. So could I. But that's a completely different proposition from saying Canadians can casually sever economic and technological ties with the United States without considerable consequences. And here's the funny part: you're demonstrating the problem while arguing about it. You're using an American social-media platform, probably on an American-designed smartphone, through American-developed software and infrastructure, to announce that you don't need American technology. That's rather like standing in a Walmart yelling, “I don't need America!” while holding the microphone they gave you. Nobody is saying Canada can't stand up for itself. We absolutely can. But pretending that economic interdependence disappears because you're personally capable of reading a book by candlelight is not economic strategy. It's cosplay.

    Ok, I'm just done with @google now. Search is almost like roulette now, I have no idea what kind of results I'll get back. It's garbage. I know they're forcing people to use Gemini now, but even that won't answer the questions without a fight. Maybe I'll go look at Kagi. I finally permanently moved off of Chrome a while ago. I'm working on leaving GMail, too. I still pay for YouTube Premium because it's great, but that's it. It's the only Google property left that actually does what I want. The sad thing is, I'm only one of millions, and @google doesn't care. By the time they finally try to fix search it'll be too late, the momentum will have turned. They underestimate the power of momentum. AI has made writing code easy and completely ruined search.

    So, I jumped on the @bot wagon. First stupid task after I connected Gmail: trash all the emails in the Promotions tab, around 48000. It was deleting just a bunch of them and really slowly. So he asked me to login directly. I did. You can look at the conversation, the bot was deleting one row at a time. Even after pushing it, despite saying it was going to select all, it got stuck. I had to stop it and doing the task myself, after 15 minutes and 21% of usage. 21% for failing deleting a bunch of emails. Now, I don't doubt Bot is an incredible tool for developers, on specific technical tasks. But if they want the masses to adopt this tech, not the way to go. And I'm saying that from 30 years in IT, I enjoy playing with it, I have also Hermes on trial. I still don't see the appeal for the common people, for now. I don't see them spending a lot of money in subcriptions/tokens for tasks that are easier and faster done in person (exactly 3 clicks on Gmail for mine). Potential is enormous and it will be probably reached in a few months (thanks to all of us training them while paying for it). I think a lot of people here on X are just "pumping" their posts to get engagement, telling the world how bots/harnesses are changing their life
