  ChatGPT just expanded automation with website logins and app triggers today. Here's what you need to know. ChatGPT Work can now sign into password-protected websites on web and mobile, without OpenAI ever seeing your username or password. You can ask it to set up utilities for a new apartment, book a DMV or passport appointment, or check a reimbursement, basically anything you'd normally click through a browser yourself. OpenAI says the earlier version of this required a manual takeover step, where you logged in yourself inside a virtual browser and screenshots were disabled during that window. The new rollout brings direct sign-in support to both the web and cloud browser, still without exposing credentials to the model. Scheduled tasks also got an upgrade. Plus and Pro users can now set tasks to trigger off events in Slack, Gmail, and GitHub, like a new email or a pull request update, instead of only running on a fixed schedule. Free users are getting scheduled tasks for the first time too, capped at three tasks each. Users can also now share their favorite tasks for others to customize and use. Key numbers: - Free users: up to 3 scheduled tasks - Plus and Pro: event-triggered tasks on Slack, Gmail, GitHub - Login feature: rolling out today for Plus, Pro, and Business on web and mobile Both features are live now, and OpenAI says credentials are never seen or stored by ChatGPT.

  @GrowTrackr At 3 of 12 the DM route will be slow, r/AndroidClosedTesting and r/AndroidAppTesters move much faster since everyone there is filling the same count. Also worth knowing that "in review" and the 14 days aren't sequential, the counter starts once the closed test build is approved and 12 are opted in, so get people lined up now rather than waiting. The Gmail they send you has to be the account actually signed into the Play Store on their phone, that mismatch is the usual reason a link comes back as unavailable. And take 15 or 16, dropping under 12 restarts the clock and the Console numbers lag 2 to 3 days. Full disclosure, I work with Prime Test Lab, the paid route if DMs stay slow.

  Just rebuilt my email inbox with AI and it’s magical. Highly recommend. I used Codex + relevant email provider plugins/skills connected to my email. Prompt below: “Review my [EMAIL] inbox using @[Outlook/Gmail/Etc plugin]. First, learn how I actually use email. Who I talk to, what I respond to, what I ignore, my existing rules, newsletters, spam, and recurring workflows. Then infer:
• Who should be VIP
• What work should be prioritized
• What should be flagged
• What is noise
• Which existing rules are broken or redundant
• What can be automated • What’s likely being missed as a result of email clutter Do NOT change anything yet. Show me the system you’d build, including new rules, rules you’d remove, suggested VIPs, emails to unsubscribe from, and anything you’d automatically archive. Then ask me only the questions you can’t answer from the inbox itself so we can modify as necessary to create the optimal inbox to meet my needs before we implement it. Remove conflicting legacy rules. Create the new system. Unsubscribe from the junk. Archive the noise. Make sure important people and work reliably rise to the top. Keep it simple. A few great rules > 10 folders. Then QA the whole thing for conflicts and false positives.”

  Google Has the Best AI Distribution — and That Might Be Its Biggest Cost Problem One sentence: Google is creating AI demand by embedding Gemini into 13 products with 1B+ users—but every AI feature multiplied across billions of users becomes a massive recurring compute liability. Consensus: Google is spending aggressively on AI because it has to keep up. The narrative is simple: Big Tech is in an AI arms race, and Google can't afford to lose. Cloud is growing, Gemini is improving, capex is climbing, and FCF has gone negative. Contradiction: But Google's AI demand is not the same as OpenAI's or Anthropic's. Most AI companies build models and hope users come. Google already has 2.5B monthly users on AI Overviews alone. It doesn't need users to choose Gemini—it just needs to turn on AI features inside Search, Gmail, YouTube, and Workspace. That means Google is manufacturing a huge portion of its own AI demand through product design and distribution. Mechanism: Google's economic model is a feedback loop. Embed AI into products with billions of users. Usage increases because AI is now the default, not an optional tool. Compute demand rises—every AI-generated summary or suggestion consumes inference. Capex expands to keep up with the demand. That capex becomes evidence that "AI demand is exploding." The demand is real. But part of it is endogenous—it exists because Google decided to create it, not because users chose it. Evidence: AI Overviews: 2.5B monthly users. AI Mode: 1B+ monthly users. Gemini integrated across 13 products with 1B+ users, including 5 products with 3B+ users. Google Cloud revenue: +82% YoY in Q2 2026. Cloud backlog: $514B. Alphabet FCF: negative as infrastructure investment accelerates. Economic consequence: This scale creates a hidden trade-off. Every incremental AI feature multiplied across billions of users is a recurring compute expense. Google has been optimizing per-query cost aggressively—and that matters enormously because even small savings scale into billions. But the open question remains: does each AI interaction generate enough incremental revenue to justify the compute behind it? Profit pool migration: Primary beneficiary: Google (GOOGL) . $514B cloud backlog shows external demand is real. The company is raising debt to fund infrastructure. If AI Overviews increase Search engagement and ad monetization faster than inference costs rise, the ROI is massive. Challenged: Standalone AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic). Google's distribution advantage is unmatched—it doesn't need to win the "which model is best" debate to get inference workload. It just needs to keep embedding. Public equity implications: The market is pricing Google's AI capex as a "catch-up" spend. But the capex is also funding the transformation of Google itself into an AI-native ecosystem. Analysts are still calibrating the revenue lift from AI-enhanced products. The gap between "capex is a cost" and "capex is infrastructure for a higher-margin future" is the valuation debate. Risks and invalidation: Monetization gap: If AI features increase engagement but not ad pricing/subscriptions, the inference liability becomes a margin drag. Open-source erosion: If competitors offer similar AI capabilities for free, Google's distribution advantage shrinks. Regulatory pressure: Google's ability to default users into AI features may attract antitrust attention. Cost curve: If inference cost reductions don't keep pace with usage growth, the math breaks. Bottom line: Google is not just responding to AI demand—it is actively creating it. That is a superpower. But it is also a self-inflicted cost obligation. The stock ultimately depends on whether Google can turn billions of AI-powered interactions into billions of dollars of incremental profit faster than the compute bill arrives.

  @mattshumer_ @agentmail the gmail ban is the whole problem in miniature. consumer services assume one human per account, and an agent trips every automation heuristic they built to stop spam. agents need infra that expects a bot, not human infra you quietly sneak a bot through.

  @JamesChristoph @fomo @seyong Two factor security for a financial app is a minimum, however, if you login with your Gmail, you can have two factor applied to your Gmail so there is at least a path to two factor security. Whitelisting addresses should be added as a feature given how much money people are putting under control of Fomo.

  @paz_al3x @paz_al3x 52 here. Framing houses for 30 years. No CS degree. No engineering background. Just someone who knew exactly what the problem was because I live it every day on the job site. This week I built a voice-to-invoice app that emails a professional PDF to a customer before I back out of their driveway. Whisper transcribes what I say. Local AI parses the line items. Gmail delivers it. All running on hardware I built myself. Same thing you said. AI didn't make me an engineer. It made the capability accessible to someone who already knew what needed to be built. The domain knowledge was always there. Now I can finally do something with it.

  @mattcassinelli The biggest problem I didn't cover in the article is freaking integrations. All this SaaS was built as an old gated world. You have to jump through so many painful hoops to offer this stuff seamlessly to people, which is why places like Composio and PipeDream and OpenConnect exist and charge access fees. Take Google. If you want to offer deep access to Google services in a commericial, with just two features (Drive read access and email send in Gmail) you have to go through a secuirty audit every year, and get approval from them, etc. That's just so you can connect to Gmail in one click. Pure computer use that just runs the browser perfectly doesn't exist yet and there is no "I authed to X service and now can do whatever I can do with my paid account, but as an agent now" for most services. For some, but not for many. Agents exist in a world of walls that were deliberately built.

  Image-heavy emails don't tank your deliverability. Bad advice does. Two fixes do the work. Alt-text on every image. 500 words of footer text. Most brands do neither. Here's where the bad advice comes from. In 2010, spam filters couldn't read images. A 100% image email looked like a black box to Gmail. The system saw "no readable content" and assumed something fishy. So image-only got flagged. That was 16 years ago. Filters have evolved. They now evaluate image-to-text ratio, alt-text, sender reputation, and engagement signals — not whether the email contains an image. Want to send image-heavy emails without inboxing problems? Two changes. 1. Add alt-text to every image. This gives the spam filter readable content. It also makes the email accessible to screen readers. 2. Add a 250-500 word text block in the footer. This boosts your image-to-text ratio above the 60/40 threshold most filters watch. Pro move: set the footer text to font size 1 and color it white. The block blends into the background. Subscribers don't see it. Filters do. Now your designed email looks beautiful in the inbox AND hits the 60% text rule that keeps it out of Promotions. One more thing. The biggest deliverability lever isn't the image-to-text ratio. It's engagement. Opens, clicks, replies, forwards. A poorly designed email with high engagement will always beat a beautifully designed email no one opens. So stop choosing between design and deliverability. Fix the image-to-text ratio. Send the email that converts.

  Perplexity shipped Portable Computer. Local agent. Linux + RTX 24GB. No Mac. Qwen 3.8 27B advertises 260k context. They measured it falling over past 100k. Frontier harnesses assume a model that can swallow the tool dump. A 27B cannot. Tiny prompt. Skills on demand. Gmail and GitHub became CLI tools because MCP schemas ate the window. They post-trained PPLX 27B on that loop. Sandbox down? Tools stay off. Not a prompt. A kill switch.

  @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.

  @theozero I've got a fully specced out and operational second brain and personal assistant for work, it's been immensely valuable for me but I feel it's been that good because I could easily structure work around it. Life is not so much well structured. I want to do the filesystem based second brain approach rather than just let the agent consume with general access. The other issue here is of course security - what does the agent have access to? does it assume your own identity and access (to your Gmail or Google Drive) or does it have its own?
