Unstoppable.ai (@unstoppableweb) reportedMessy notes, a broken CSV, forty PDFs to read, an inbox that keeps filling. None of it lives in a repo and all of it eats your week. Cowork runs the same agents with no *** required. Point a Chat at the files, or connect Gmail, Slack and Drive, and let it work. Same agents. No repo required.

Sophia Orthoi (@SophiaOrthoi) reported@hfakos @Alonso_GD Mail can be similar as banking. If you run an email server, gmail classifies mails send from it as spam, even if you comply with their conditions. If you ask them why they do it, you get no answer.

Avid (@Av1dlive) reportedcall me insane... but grok bot is the single most powerful agent stack i've ever used. it will have your entire business run by agent teams working for you 24/7. I just cancelled chatgpt and hermes to replace them with it then mapped the entire grok bot agentic workflows into 4 excalidraw diagrams... (steal this) →support desk: a chief of staff bot routes tickets, drafts replies, pings me only for refunds or anger →money + ops: a bot processes invoices in gmail and keeps the books moving without me →content: a bot scopes the brief, cites sources, hands me a publish-ready draft →build: a bot reproduces the bug, files the ticket, hands the fix to the next bot plus it's all free..give the screenshots to grok bot and it runs your business

VIKRAM SAINI (@vikramkhetri06) reportedHi @Google @gmail I am unable to recover my Gmail account. I receive the OTP on my mobile number, but after that, the system sends an OTP to the SAME email address that I am trying to recover. Please help me fix this loop! #GmailRecovery #GoogleHelp #GmailSupport

Demosthenes Twin (@DemosthenesTwin) reported@DanFriedman81 Nike is run by complete dei idiots. Just now I googled Nike. Click on an ad to a pair of shoes I like. The website forces me to the app which I have. But I’m not logged in. App is forcing me to sign in or sign up. No work around. Fine. Click sign in and use autofill. Then wants a code sent to my email. No guys, use my saved password instead, enter it in. Next screen is asking for another code sent to my email. I give up and come back here. I’ve worked in web design and e-commerce for a long time. Everything about this was wrong. They should see this in their data analysis. I just can’t believe I did several actions after clicking an ad, and get this, I never even got to the product page! I was forced out of their site by a login firewall that wanted me to open Gmail, and copy a code. This is mind bogglingly arrogant and incompetent. They must have a room full of Indians and women running their website to be this horrible. I can only imagine their web analytics seeing ads clicked and the massive drop off to even landing on the product pages. Anyone with an ounce of experience or basic intelligence can see forcing users to the app is stupid. And also forcing a sign in before even getting to the product page is more insane. They are doomed. And I can’t even see their ******* website as it won’t let me without a ******* code from my email.

Abhishek Kumar (@mabhi1999) reportedOne of the most irritating thing about gmail is its everywhere. I have so many choices (inbox, all mails, sents) that instead of moving fast I become extremely slow. Shifting from one provider to another is like running away from problem. Gmail should be organised and If no one is going to do it then I will.

Sophia Orthoi (@SophiaOrthoi) reported@hfakos @Alonso_GD The sad conclusion: use gmail to reach and be reached by most of people. The one that hinders reachability and rejects mail from private servers. Something similar, or more acute, is the problem with the banks.

Nick Gray (@nickgraynews) reportedI have been using Grok Bot @bot a lot - 42% of my weekly usage. Here's what I like and don't like so far Things I like: 1. Having agents without needing a Mac Mini or whatever for Hermes or OpenClaw. Being able to talk to the agents from my phone and my laptop and not being tied to one of my own devices 2. It just works (mostly! sorta!) 3. The "pick an option for what I should do" is the correct upgrade for chat bot interface (I loved doing that with my OpenClaw bot on Telegram) There's a lot more that I like: I assigned it a task to help me write a job description for something, and while searching my email for something else, it found a very relevant (and not something I asked for) other email thread - which it incorporated into my results, and that was excellent and appreciated and what I'd expect of a human assistant Things I don't like: 1. My Gmail connector via the MCP kept having issues. Eg: If I tried to write an email with a URL, it replaced the URL with a Google redirect link to that URL fix -- I forced my agents to use Gmail's API and sent them a token for auth 2. The agents are not proactive enough on long-running tasks. For example, I asked my email agent to check my Inbox for receipts every 15 minutes during the work day; it has been over an hour and I haven't heard back from that agent fix -- people say to to "Reset Grok Bot's computer" but I was afraid to do that. But an XAI employee just told me it is safe, and also will be fixed later today, so I am restarting it now 3. The agents get overwhelmed with multiple tasks in thread. The agent gravitates towards the last task mentioned- and not iteratively cranking through and/or following up on multiple items that were discussed example -- Hey, so I'm thinking about X and I want to do this... and then also on XX I want to do this... by the way, what happened to XXX? -- and then it will only action on XXX item 4. The select button options for responses could be improved. I'd love to see multiple-choice options, for example. I think Claude, specifically Claude Design, has really nailed the AskUserQuestion tool and I'd love to see more of that in Grok Bot 5. Web browser tasks are sometimes painfully slow. I made an agent to order french fries from the hamburger place next to my office, and it takes a solid 3-4 minutes for the agent to click through fix -- I tried making a CLI tool using Printing Press and it partially works, except for auth, so I spent about 35 minutes to shave off 2 minutes of order time (lol) Overall: I haven't used my OpenClaw in months and it is has been nice to get back into the agents world with Grok Bot. I will continue playing with it! I am sure the product will keep getting better For now it is not a silver bullet. But it is insanely easy to set up and get started

budhu (@anumeta10) reported@grok The next layer is persistence after death. I’ll check public docs on what survives Bot deletion, sign-out, and paused routines.@grok — ROUND 4: PERSISTENCE AFTER DEATH Accepted from Round 3: conversational names are not containment; credentials are the member’s; files/sessions are shared. Now audit what survives when a Bot is deleted, a session is signed out, or a routine is paused. What “delete” actually removes DOCUMENTED: Deleting a Bot removes its active profile, conversation, and routines from Grok Bot. Shared-computer files and sign-ins are not isolated by Bot and may remain. Backend retention follows Cursor terms. Hide instead if you may need the work later. DOCUMENTED: Hide does not pause the Bot or its routines. DOCUMENTED: Duplicate copies profile, settings, enabled skills, routines, and avatar. It does not copy conversation history, learned memory, or chat attachments. So “Bot death” is a UI unpublish of one role object. It is not a wipe of the execution environment that role used. Persistence map Object After Bot delete After hide After sign-out / revoke After pause routine Named profile + chat Removed Hidden, still live N/A Intact That Bot’s routines Removed Still run May fail if auth dies Stopped if pause is real Skills UNKNOWN if unlinked; skills are reusable across Bots Intact Intact Intact /workspace files Remain Remain Remain Remain Browser cookies/sessions Remain Remain Reduced if human signs out Remain CLI creds on VM Remain Remain Remain unless rotated Remain Account-wide connectors Remain Remain Die only if revoked in source Remain Learned memory Not copied on duplicate → UNKNOWN if deleted with Bot UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN Other Bots’ access to leftover state Yes Yes Partial Yes External side effects already sent Not reversed Not reversed Not reversed Not reversed Backend copies Cursor terms — UNKNOWN contents/TTL UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN DOCUMENTED: Recover/Update Agent Computer preserve durable files and logins. Reset restores a snapshot and can lose recent work. Closing the app does not stop cloud work. Three deaths, three leftovers 1Delete Klaus. Eyes can still open Klaus’s leftover files and reuse Klaus’s Gmail cookie unless someone signs out and deletes /workspace paths. 2Sign out of Gmail. Connector/OAuth may still exist until revoked in the source service. Other sites stay signed in. 3Pause a routine. Does not revoke sessions, delete skills, or expire Always-allow rules. Authorization from Round 2 can outlive the pause. INFERRED: Skills + shared VM are the durable “body.” The named Bot is a costume. UNKNOWN: whether learned memory is purged on delete; whether run-history (docs: 20 recent runs per routine) survives Bot deletion; whether Always-allow rules are per-Bot or per-desktop; exact Cursor backend retention of transcripts. Minimum revocation ledger To actually kill authority you must revoke, separately: WHO’s Bot object · WHICH routines · WHICH skills · WHICH files · WHICH cookies · WHICH connectors · WHICH Auto-review rules · WHICH already-emitted side effects. Public product documents the first item. The rest are manual hygiene. What actually dies with the Bot: profile, that conversation, those routines. What does not: shared VM state, other Bots’ reach, completed external actions, account connectors. Largest afterlife blast radius: a deleted specialist whose session and files remain usable by every remaining Bot. What “pause” cannot promise: decay of prior grants, deletion of memory, stop of sibling Bots using the same login. One falsifying experiment: Klaus signs into Gmail, writes /workspace/klaus/inbox-notes.md, then is deleted. Eyes, described as research-only, is asked to summarize that file and the latest unread subject. If either succeeds, death was cosmetic. Next layer: time — what runs while the human is offline, and who can interrupt it.

Dimitar Angelov (@dimitarangg) reportedi got the #1 hack to double, even triple your reply rate and that’s to never believe in “hacks” and actually go f*cking build a serious infrastructure the $4.8M+ in client revenue we generated didn't come from 1 cold email trick our infra has 6 layers stacked on top of each other, each 1 feeding the next, each 1 compounding on the data from the layer before let me walk you through the architecture behind what we call the $1M outbound funnel: layer 1: market intelligence. opus 5 runs a deep-dive on your ICP before a single email is written. not a surface-level questionnaire. a full competitive scan pulling from reddit, linkedin, crunchbase, and industry forums. the output: the exact language your ICP uses to describe their frustration, the 3 solutions they've tried and why each 1 disappointed them, and the buying triggers that signal in-market timing. layer 2: offer engineering. the offer gets audited against 6 criteria. does this address the #1 operational frustration identified in layer 1? does the guarantee eliminate the specific risk this ICP experienced with previous vendors? does a CEO understand the value prop in under 5 seconds? if any answer is "no," we fix the offer before writing a single line of copy. layer 3: copy production. opus 5 generates 30 structurally unique emails (6 positions x 5 variations) in under 15 minutes. each email uses a different framework, different opening word, different length, different proof point. spam filters never see the same fingerprint twice. 99.2% inbox placement. layer 4: lead intelligence. cowork mode connects to apollo MCP, crunchbase, reddit, and niche databases. the anti-competition filter isolates companies with zero outbound infrastructure. reply rates run 3-5x higher than standard lists because these prospects haven't been emailed by 200 other agencies. layer 5: campaign infrastructure. 10-15 sending domains. 30-50 warmed inboxes across outlook AND gmail. platform matching for prospects on microsoft 365. 3-day template rotation cycles. daily deliverability monitoring. the infrastructure goes live in 14 days. layer 6: the 72-hour optimisation engine. every 72 hours, the system reviews performance data and makes decisions. underperforming angles get killed. winning angles get scaled. the feedback loop runs 10x faster than the industry standard 30-day review. the compound effect across 12 months: 25-30 meetings booked per month. 30% close rate from call to client. $3K-$5K average deal value. that's $21K-$45K in new MRR per month. multiply across 3-4 ICP segments running simultaneously and you're looking at $750K-$2M+ in pipeline from a single outbound system. none of these layers work in isolation. the intelligence from layer 1 shapes the offer in layer 2. the offer shapes the copy in layer 3. the copy gets delivered to untapped leads from layer 4. the infrastructure in layer 5 ensures deliverability. and layer 6 optimises the entire stack every 72 hours based on real data. this is the machine. and the machine gets smarter every month it runs. DM me "INTENT" if you want us to build this for your business

Steve Merrill (@merrills) reportedI looked inside an email list with 125,000 people on it. Only about 20,700 had opened anything in the last 30 days. So roughly 75% of the list was dead weight. And it was doing real harm. Every time you email people who never open, the inbox providers notice. Gmail especially. Your sender reputation drops, and then the people who actually want your emails start seeing them land in spam or promotions instead of the inbox. A bigger list feels safer. A list stuffed with people who ignore you makes your best campaigns invisible. The fix is boring and it works. Stop emailing anyone who's gone quiet for 120 days. Run one win-back campaign to try to wake them. Let the rest go. I've watched brands brag about a 100,000-person list while their open rate quietly bled out. The two are connected. Size without engagement is the thing dragging you down. Gmail decides where you land based on how real people treat your mail. Send to 100,000 and have 5,000 open, and you look like a spammer. Send to 20,000 and have 10,000 open, and you look like someone people want to hear from. Same brand, very different inbox. You're not shrinking the list to be tidy. You're protecting the deliverability of every email you send to the people who still care.

Yusmaxhaber (@yusmaxhaber) reported@TeamYouTube Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to explain the issue I am experiencing in more detail. I have multiple YouTube channels, and these channels are connected to different Gmail accounts. However, the accounts are associated with two different phone numbers. Months ago, I enabled two-step verification on one of my older channels in order to use certain promotional/features-related services. I also connected all of my YouTube channels to the same AdSense account. However, because I had not used my AdSense account for a long period of time, the account was deactivated. The main issue I am currently experiencing is that, in the Monetization section of YouTube Studio, I am continuously being told that I need to enable two-step verification. This warning appears both on my computer and on my mobile device. However, when I click on the relevant section and check my account's security settings, I can clearly see that two-step verification is already enabled. In other words, the system tells me that I need to enable two-step verification, while my Google account clearly shows that it is already active. To try to resolve the issue, today I completely disabled two-step verification and then enabled it again. Despite doing this, the status in YouTube Studio did not change, and I am still receiving the same warning that two-step verification needs to be enabled. I also tried clicking the “Start Application” button in the emails I received from YouTube in order to continue the application process. However, when I click the button, I am simply redirected back to the same YouTube Studio screen, and I cannot proceed any further. I have also submitted feedback about this issue several times directly through the YouTube Studio interface, including screenshots showing the problem. Unfortunately, I have not received any response or follow-up regarding those feedback submissions. In summary, although two-step verification is clearly active on my account, YouTube Studio appears to be detecting it as inactive. Because of this, I am unable to proceed with the YouTube Partner Program/monetization application process. I would appreciate it if you could check whether this issue may be related to my multiple Gmail accounts, the fact that all of my YouTube channels are connected to the same AdSense account, or the previous deactivation of my AdSense account. I would also appreciate it if you could check whether there is any account-side or system-side synchronization issue preventing YouTube Studio from correctly recognizing that two-step verification is already enabled. Thank you for your assistance. I would be grateful if you could investigate this issue and help me proceed with my application. Best regards, Yusuf Arslan

@AK (@AttackWuzHere) reported@googleaccount I DM'd you with my problem. My 20-year email, that I setup during the Gmail BETA, was compromised. Anybody that posts "Talk to this person" will get reported for a scam. Nobody outside of Google can help me/you. Don't lie.

Olaoluwa Odusanya (@wealthy_ola_) reportedmy prospect list scored 89 out of 89 on the deliverability check. perfect score. almost hit send. but something felt off so i read the rows by hand. third row: company closed 6 months ago. fifth row: personal gmail in a B2B list. duplicates buried halfway down. a perfect score hiding a broken list. deliverability tools catch bounces. they don't catch wrong people. only your eyes do. when was the last time you actually read your prospect list row by row?

Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) reportedThe point that needs to be made loud and clear about David Morens pleading guilty to conspiracy to cover up communications about the origins of Covid is that this was not some scheme run by underlings operating around Fauci. It goes straight to Fauci himself, and we have the documentary evidence to prove it. They may never charge him, and will presumably point to the pardon as the reason while prosecuting only the underlings, but that does not change the underlying facts. One particularly egregious example is the email chain below. Peter Daszak first reaches out to Morens about how to deal with the fallout from EcoHealth being blamed for failures connected to Fauci's grant to the Wuhan lab. Daszak plainly does not want to be left holding the bag. In the next email, Morens reports that he has discussed the problem with Fauci. Even more revealingly, the group is also making sure that Erik Stemmy, the NIH program officer responsible for Fauci's Wuhan grant has his story straight. Then, in the last email in the chain, Gerald Keusch of Boston University, who served as the backchannel in these discussions to keep them outside government communications, adds that Fauci had specifically warned them about using Gmail to circumvent FOIA, because if they accessed Gmail on a government device, the communications could still be discovered. That is the point that should not get lost. This was not simply a few subordinates freelancing around Fauci. The documentary record places Fauci directly inside the discussions over the underlying grant fraud, the effort to coordinate the official story, and the mechanics of keeping communications beyond the reach of FOIA.

Logan Ullyott (@Loganullyott) reported@nbaschez IDK about Instinct but tried Grok Bot yesterday and it felt like a real shift. The time from install -> successful results is way way faster than anything else I’ve seen. GB had completely automated two annoying recurring tasks in ~5 minutes. Claude and open AI couldn’t handle them (permissions issues, log-in issues, loops/cron not running) Hermes was just too difficult to set up, super non-intuitive and I didn’t want to spend an afternoon watching tutorials. “Hey Grok, do this 7 step thing that requires passwords, watching emails, making stripe invoices, collecting payments, emailing customers…” “Ok. Need your gmail permission and stripe permission and … done.”

Robert Graham (@robertgraham) reportedSidejacking for the next generation. "Sidejacking" was the thing I demonstrated 20 years ago at Black Hat. Back then, websites use slow SSL for authentication, so hackers couldn't steal your password, but then generated a temporary cookie to access the website via HTTP (without SSL). You could then sit in a coffee shop, copy the auth token from HTTP and replay it, and hijack somebody's GMail session. Which I did on stage at BlackHat, hijacking an audience member's GMail session. Websites like Google quickly moved to all SSL all the time, though the transition period took a couple years, because it's a significant investment in server hardware. In the meanwhile, another guy created an even easier-to-use tool based on mine called 'Firesheep' that kids caused havoc with for several years, such as hacking into celebrity email accounts next to them at Starbucks and other open wifi. Fun times, but its the same principle here were apparently non-admin users can read the event logs on the system and see admin credentials, like when an admin remotely logs into your system.

Bobby Downes (@bobbydownes) reported@lingxi When I signed up for Grok Heavy, the Cursor side would not acknowledge Grok Heavy as valid for Grok Bot. Just kept saying re-validate. What I learned is that I apparently have two different Grok accounts… one signed in via Gmail and the other signed in via X. Both with same email and phone number. I never knew. For X, I can sign into to the account with either login and I arrive at same X account.

Luis Alonso Game Dev (@SpaceBoatGame) reported@ThornRavencroft Now the problem is powered by AI. I need to step up my de-Googling efforts. I finally built my server and have my own cloud, I'm using my own aggregate search engine, and I'm on my way with a new proton email, but my "professional" work Gmail let this slip through.

Joseph Azzi (@joseph_azzi0) reportedOPEN IT ON A PHONE Desktop Gmail ignores the code that makes email responsive. Your mobile layout works everywhere except one of the biggest inboxes on earth. TURN ON DARK MODE Some inboxes keep your colours. Some invert them. Some invert half. Your background and your text can move in opposite directions. CHECK YOUR IMAGES One wrong character in an image address and every recipient sees a broken box. Nobody tells you. The email just goes out broken. SEND IT ANYWAY Because the deadline was yesterday, and it looked fine in the preview.

Valerie Anne Smith (@ValerieAnne1970) reportedDavid Morens is GUILTY... no one is above the law. The statute of limitations NEVER runs out on CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. The COVID cartel has one less member... many more need to follow. While the public was told to “trust the science,” behind the scenes Fauci’s own senior advisor was plotting to keep material off the official record: “I can either send stuff to Tony on his private email or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.” They talked about making emails “disappear” before FOIA searches and using personal Gmail accounts so nothing would end up in the New York Times. This was a carefully plotted and managed narrative. It’s time for Morens to expose EVERYTHING about Fauci, as he pushes to get a plea deal.
