  Sending more emails doesn't grow revenue. Sending the right emails to the right people does. This is the mistake brands make when email performance plateaus. Open rates drop. Click rates fall. Revenue per send declines. The instinct is to send more. More campaigns. Higher frequency. More touchpoints. But if the segmentation is broken, more volume just accelerates the damage. Here's what actually happens when you send too broadly: Unengaged subscribers pull down your open rate across the entire account. Gmail and Outlook notice. Inbox placement suffers. Even your best subscribers start missing emails they would have opened. Unsubscribe rates climb. The engaged audience you built gets smaller every send. And the revenue per email drops because you're now dividing campaign performance across thousands of people who were never going to buy. The fix isn't sending less. It's sending smarter. Your engaged segment from the last 30 days should be hearing from you more than your 90-day unengaged segment. Your VIP buyers should be getting different content than your first-time purchasers. Your browse abandoners should be getting something completely different from your post-purchase sequence. Segmentation isn't a nice-to-have. It's what determines whether your emails land in inboxes or spam folders. Whether your list grows or quietly bleeds out. Whether email becomes 35% of revenue or stays stuck at 12%. The brands treating their entire list as one audience are paying for reach they're not getting. And damaging the foundation in the process.

  5/6 Problem 3: There was no way back in. Cold label = Cold forever. Even if they replied "I'm ready now." Built a re-qualification sub-workflow: Gmail/Tally form reply → AI re-scores Upgrade triggers: drip stops, label updates, re-enrolment happens.

  The reason email hasn't changed in 50 years isn't technical. It's economic. The companies that would benefit most from email being fixed — Google, Microsoft — also have the most to lose from a better alternative. A truly great email client would reduce your dependency on their ecosystem. So they optimize Gmail and Outlook just enough to keep you from leaving. not enough to actually solve the problem. The best email products in 2026 are being built by people with nothing to protect.

  OpenAI just added to Codex what you are paying for separately. Plugins. Tasks. Image Generation. In-App Browser. Four things. One tool. Same subscription. Let's start with plugins. GitHub already connected. Slack already connected. Notion, Linear, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive all inside. No switching between tabs. No copying links from one app to another. Codex sees all of it directly. Then tasks and memory. Check for Sentry crashes - every 2 hours. Every morning - starts in 30 minutes. Find and fix bugs - daily at 8pm. Weds at 7am - audit. You set the schedule once. Codex works while you sleep. Then image generation. Not Higgsfield. Not Midjourney. Not a separate DALL-E tab. Directly inside. The same tool that writes your code generates images. GPT Image 2 is already in the subscription. Most people don't know this. And finally in-app browser. Codex opens the browser itself. Sees what is on the screen. Clicks. Fills forms. Plays Tic Tac Toe to prove it actually controls the computer. Not simulating doing. Codex stopped being a tool for writing code. It became an operating system for your workflow. I built a skill that calls GPT Image 2 through Codex in one command. Logos. Mockups. Icons. All covered by the subscription you already have.

  Your Gmail says it's full, and Google's betting you'll just pay to fix it. That 15GB you got free is shared across Gmail, Drive, and Photos, and it's clogged with junk you never cleared. Google would rather sell you more space at $1.99 a month than tell you that. Here are 7 moves to clear gigabytes in one afternoon, before you pay a cent: (Save this thank me later).

  The AI word of the week has been "loops" — adding yet another piece of jargon to the non-technical vocabulary. This is leaving a lot of people asking: what are they, how are they different from prompts? In a lot of non-technical circles the level of grey about what the parts of agentic AI actually are (and how to use them) can be overwhelming. What's more, they're not static — as things develop, so do their uses and how they work together. Loops themselves have evolved over the last few years. So, here's a little primer to make things easier: Prompt — we know this one. It's the instruction you write for the LLM. You send it, get your output, and any tweaking happens off the back of that output. Prompts are for one-off tasks. As you build reliable ones, you reuse them by pasting them into the terminal or chat. Agent — (this one we know too) the LLM running on its own, doing a series of steps without you watching each one. You give it a goal and walk away. Call — to invoke something by name so it runs. You "call" a skill (or a loop, a tool, an MCP) by typing its name and the LLM loads it and executes the setup. When you ask your LLM to use a skill, hook or loop you are calling it. Skill — a packaged set of instructions, files, and tools the LLM loads when you call it by name. A prompt is just one-off instructions; a skill brings the working setup with it — what to read, what rules to follow, what tools it can use, what to produce. You call it once and the whole setup runs. Some people stuff all this into their CLAUDE.md, but bloating CLAUDE.md causes context issues and the LLM starts ignoring your instructions. That's why skills are for specific contexts and tasks, not general ones. The rule of thumb is: when you have a task you do over and over, with rules → make it a skill. Call it by name instead of re-explaining the rules every time you want it done. Hook — a rule that says "when X happens, do Y." It executes automatically when triggered — a file is saved, a meeting ends, a session starts — and the hook runs the action you tied to it. These are basic automations. Use them when one task is dependent on a different event. Example: You save a new invoice PDF in your invoices folder → a hook automatically triggers your expense categorization skill and logs it in your accounting sheet. Loop — a small program you write that runs a prompt for you, over and over, and checks the work was done properly. It isn't the prompt itself — it's the thing that runs the prompt without you in the middle. Loops are more complicated than hooks and are not prompts. Where a hook does one thing from start to end when triggered, a loop initiates a process from start to end automatically at a time you define. Where a prompt is instructions, a loop is the directive to use those instructions. Use it for repeatable tasks where you're confident in the output and want them running without starting each one yourself. The loop runs the skill, checks the work, stops when the rules say so. Example: A daily "process inbox" loop that runs every morning at 9 a.m., summarizes new emails, extracts action items, self-verifies, and only pings you if something needs your attention. Loops only work if you set them up properly. A few things worth understanding before you do: - Self-verify — a step inside a loop where the LLM checks its own work against the rules before saving or moving on. Without it, the loop produces confident garbage. With it, the loop catches and fixes its own mistakes. - Simple loop vs supervisor loop — a simple loop is one LLM doing one task on repeat. A supervisor loop is a top loop that spins up several workers in parallel, each running its own prompt, then combines their output into one result. - Token budget — a hard cap on how much the loop can spend before it has to stop. Tokens are what the AI charges for, like minutes on a phone bill. Without a cap, a stuck loop can rack up hundreds overnight. Remember when you write you see words, the Agent sees tokens. - Orchestration vs execution — the loop orchestrates: decides what runs, when, and in what order. The LLM executes: runs the actual prompt and produces the output. Two different jobs. - .md files (markdown) — a plain text file the LLM can read. This is where most of your directions for an AI — instructions, rules, context — live. It's how you tailor an LLM to your project. Common ones: CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md (depends on the LLM you're using) — master instructions for a folder or project. They live in the folder you launch the LLM from. The LLM reads them automatically when it starts working. These are the house rules for your project or workspace. SKILL.md — the instruction file at the heart of a skill. Tells the LLM what the skill is for, when to use it, and how. ADR (Architecture Decision Record) — a decision written as a rule the AI can apply. Format: what was decided, why, and what to do or not do because of it. ADRs are a development artefact, so most non-technical users don't touch them — but using them can substantially improve the output of your agents. If there's a rule you want the AI to always check its work against → write it as an ADR in a .md file. Any skill or loop can then check its output against the ADR before saving. This is one way of "harnessing" the agent — making sure its output matches what you're actually building, from meeting notes to full products. SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) — the process for a recurring task, written step by step so the AI can follow it. One SOP per repeating job, just like any standard process. The skill running the job reads the SOP for the steps. Note on terminology: The concepts above are fairly universal, but exact names, file conventions, and implementation details vary by tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.). You might see CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, or different triggers depending on which system you're using. Other things you might be reading/hearing: CLI (Command Line Interface) — your terminal or Command Prompt window, where you type commands instead of clicking buttons. Most coding AIs live in the CLI. MCP (Model Context Protocol) — the standard that lets the LLM talk to outside tools and services. Without MCP, the LLM only sees what you paste in. With MCP, it can fetch your Gmail, read a Notion page, update a Google Doc, post to Slack — directly, on its own. How they fit togetherPrompts live inside skills. Skills live inside loops. Loops initiate via hooks or schedules. All of them read .md files — CLAUDE.md for the house rules, SOPs for the process, ADRs for the rules they have to follow. The prompt is the smallest piece. Everything else is a way of wrapping, packaging, or triggering prompts, so you don't have to type them in by hand.These are the concepts. The specifics — where files live, what triggers what, whether you write a loop or call a built-in one — vary by tool. If i've forgotten anything or you need more info let me know. #AgenticAI #AI

  My A2P campaign keeps getting rejected for having a "public email" on the account. The thing is, I've already updated every email I can find. Notification email, profile email, all of it. All pointing to my brand domain now. The one I can't update is the authorized representative email on the approved business profile. That one still has my original Gmail from when I first created the account. And apparently that's what's triggering the rejection. Here's where it gets annoying: the @twilio API returns an error saying the field is in an "immutable state" once the brand is approved. So I literally cannot change it myself. I opened support tickets asking @twilio to update it on their end, and that was over two weeks ago. Complete silence. My use case passed. My CTA passed. The only issue is this one locked email field. So I'm reluctant to create a brand new business profile with the same details and resubmit everything from scratch, especially since any new A2P campaign would still have the same authorized rep Gmail unless Twilio manually changes it. Three rejections in now. A month into the process. the campaign rejects because of the Gmail, but I can't change the Gmail because the brand is already approved and locked. Can anyone please help me with this issue.

  There's a new Google Ads campaign type opening up for storage, and the placement that matters most is Maps. Demand Gen isn't new, but Google just made a setting available that lets you run it as Maps-only. For a hyperlocal business like self-storage, that changes the math. Here's how it's different from the Search campaigns you already run. Search captures demand that already exists. Someone types "self storage near me," you bid on that intent, you compete for the click. It works, but you're only reaching people who have already decided they need a unit. Demand Gen works earlier in the funnel. Instead of keywords, it runs on audience signals across Google's visual surfaces. Normally that means YouTube, Discover, and Gmail. The problem for storage is that most of that inventory converts poorly. Nobody leases a unit because they saw an image ad before a YouTube clip. That's what makes Maps-only worth a look. It cuts out YouTube, Discover, Gmail, and the other low-intent placements, and points your budget at the one place storage decisions actually get made. Why it fits storage: Storage is a geo-bound purchase. People choose based on what's near them, and Maps is where that choice happens. You show up visually right when someone is browsing your area, including next to competitors. You can target a tight radius around your facility's real trade area instead of a broad national feed. It's new inventory, which usually means less competition and better cost while it lasts. We're just starting to test this across some of the facilities we run. Too early to report numbers, but we are already testing this new campaign type. I'll share results once we have enough data to review.

  A guy sat at his laptop ready to permanently delete his 15-year-old Gmail account. He was getting 400 spam emails a day. Fake Best Buy receipts. Phishing links from "Netflix." Cryptic extortion threats. He hovered his mouse over "Delete Account" and sighed: "I just want peace." His coworker, a former email deliverability engineer, looked over his shoulder. "Before you nuke 15 years of contacts and data, let me show you something. Your email isn't broken. It's weaponized. There are 22 ways you've been leaving the door wide open. Google won't tell you this because the data collection feeds their entire ad engine. Give me 14 minutes." Here's what she showed him:
