  @keven_ink @grok @bot If I can somehow figure out to get my email bot to attach pictures in my gmail, we'd be good to go. I keep getting an error message that it can't handle attachments over 2mb. I feel like I'm "right there" to getting this optimized. I have a small biz with high volume emails so if I can unlock this, it would be huge. I have an auto responder script that is able to draft emails in my voice. Its just the attachment piece that is clunky and spotty in terms of getting it to work.

  Hey @gmail not letting me permanently sort my e-mails by “Most Recent” and it default to “Most Relevant” is not okay. Who are you to deem what’s relevant? What’s relevant is the order in which they are received. I found an e-mail BURIED in bs and ads because of this. FIX IT.

  Most businesses don't have a data problem. They have a data location problem — quotes in Gmail, pipeline in a spreadsheet, ops notes in Slack. Consolidate the sources first. Then the agents have something to act on.

  I built this in a single day. Gmail inbox triage. Auto-tagged leads. Kanban pipeline. Synced to a Google Sheets lead tracker. Two years ago agencies would have quoted 2 months and $15K for this. Lovable is not a UI builder anymore. You can build literally ANYTHING inside it. I've used it almost daily for over a year. Shipped 50+ MVPs with it. For clients. For myself. For the agency. I finally wrote down the whole system. Full breakdown in the article below.

  @TechnicallyTee I set my calendar to sync to my gmail account. It syncs between Apple’s Calendar app and Google Calendar. Never had any problems. Just make sure all of your events that you want to sync are added to the calendar under that email address and they’ll show up on Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS and even Windows if you set it up to.

  there are people building an entire AI company on one shared computer right now and none of the coworkers have ever met each other i didn't believe it until i saw the demo myself, xAI just shipped this as Grok Bot, and every other AI tool you've used just became a chatbot next to it setup is 4 moves: 1/ download the Grok Bot app, works on phone too 2/ tap new bot, tap chief of staff, the first hire exists 3/ open your profile tab, go to plugins, connect Gmail, Google Drive, and Calendar 4/ point it at your company's Drive folder, that's the actual context a chief of staff runs on each bot signs into your real tools with your real login. it doesn't hand you a draft, it finishes the job inside the actual app the part most people miss: this scales past one bot. build a research bot, a writer bot, a chief of staff bot and they pass work between each other without you routing anything the whole roster shares one computer, one browser, one set of logins. sign in once for one bot and the rest are already signed in most people are treating this like a smarter search bar the ones who already set it up have a small team that never clocks out

  Every AI agent that can browse the web eventually hits the same wall. A login screen it has no way past. CitroLabs just open sourced the fix, and it is called Ego Lite. It gives Claude Code, Codex, or any agent its own browser that is already signed into your accounts. Gmail, X, your dashboards, all of it. For the past two years, agent builders solved this the hard way. Paste cookies manually, spin up fresh sessions, fight captchas that flag headless browsers as bots, then watch the whole setup break the next time a session expires. Until now. Ego Lite runs in its own lane on your machine. It shares your logged in session instead of faking one, so the agent skips every login wall and captcha without you touching a cookie. You keep browsing normally while it works in the background. It never touches your main browser setup. The benchmarks are notable: CitroLabs ran it head to head against Vercel's agent-browser on four complex automation tasks. Ego Lite finished each one up to 2.5x faster, using substantially fewer tokens per task. The repo is MIT licensed and fully open source. It crossed 2,500 stars and 121 forks within its first few months, with some trackers later citing figures as high as 6,300 to 9,800 stars as more builders picked it up. It is macOS only for now, Apple Silicon and Intel, with Windows and Linux still on the roadmap. Every agent demo that stalls at a login screen was solving the wrong problem. The session was never the hard part. Getting an agent to skip it was.

  Built something that's been quietly saving me every morning. I work with a US client, so most bug reports land in my inbox overnight while I'm asleep. Used to mean waking up, opening gmail, reading through everything, mentally triaging what's actually broken before I'd even had coffee. Now there's an @evedev_ agent connected to my Gmail that runs at 8am. Goes through the night's emails and pulls out anything that's actually a reported bug or issue. Posts it into a Slack channel. From there another agent, @cursor_ai, sitting in that same channel picks it up. It has access to my GitHub repo, so it checks the issue against logs, traces it back to the actual code, and debugs it. By the time I open my laptop there's a full report waiting. What broke, where, and what the fix looks like. I've only given it read access everywhere. Not because it hasn't been reliable, it has. I just still want to be the one reviewing and merging anything that touches the codebase. The automation does the investigating. I still make the call. Works better than I expected it to.

  Tern sync used to take ~20 seconds. Now it's roughly one 🫡 The trick was asking for less. Before, every check would fetch folder lists, old threads and a pile of mailbox data that hadn't changed at all. Now Tern just asks "what's new?" It grabs the latest mail, pulls in what's needed and gets out of the way. The heavy stuff (folder structure, backfilling old mail) happens quietly in the background. It also adapts to what you're doing: Looking at it? Checks every 5 seconds Inactive tab? Slows down to save battery New mail mid-check? Checks again straight away Gmail, Outlook and IMAP all sync in parallel, so multiple accounts still feel like one inbox. Small change on paper. But the inbox finally feels alive 👀

  August 11, 2026. xAI gave Grok its own computer and a 24/7 shift. Close your laptop and it keeps working. Then one Grok Bot can place itself above the others as a chief of staff. Grok Bot runs on a cloud computer and signs into the same websites and apps a person uses, including tools with no clean API or MCP connection. xAI says its internal Bots already update CRMs from call transcripts, process invoices from Gmail, reproduce software bugs, file tickets and hand the fix to a debugging Bot. You can demonstrate a workflow once and save it as a routine. The Bot remembers corrections and runs the job later. Several Bots can share context, message one another in group chats and work under a chief-of-staff Bot that assigns jobs to specialists. Your approval becomes the checkpoint. The wider system is taking shape around it. Grok 4.6 supplies the reasoning. Build handles code and office work. Voice turns Grok into a phone agent. Imagine produces media. X provides live information and distribution. Grok Bot operates the tools. xAI prices Voice at $0.08 per minute and says it has already A/B-tested the model on Starlink sales and support calls. This is no longer a collection of AI demos. It is the early version of a labor stack. Benchmark positions will shuffle every month. Access may be the durable advantage: a system that remembers how you work, signs into your software and delegates jobs to copies of itself. Comment GROK and I’ll send the official demo and every source page in DM.

  The spirit of Spirit just sold for $10 million Google is buying Spirit Airlines' data out of bankruptcy. Emails, internal communications, spreadsheets, bookings, frequent flyer and HR records, all de-identified, for $10 million. Judge Sean Lane rules on the sale Wednesday. The obvious read is that Google wants more data. But de-identified data doesn't work for advertising, since you can't target someone you can't name, and Google already sees more airfare information through Google Flights than Spirit ever generated internally. An airline that went under in May is also a strange place to look for pricing wisdom. What's worth buying is the internal material. The emails and the spreadsheets they reference record how work moved through the company: a question gets asked, a document gets built, a decision gets made, a system gets updated. Consumer text is everywhere, and records of how an organization actually functions are not, which is what you need if you want models that operate inside workflows rather than talk about them. Google's own statement uses the word enterprise, and the runner-up bid of $7.5 million came from Mercor, a company whose entire business is sourcing training data for AI labs. When the second bidder isn't another airline, the market has told you what was being priced. The strange part is that Google isn't short on this data at all. It runs Gmail and Workspace and sits on possibly the largest collection of business correspondence in the world, and it has promised enterprise customers it will not train on their content, which is not a promise it can quietly break. So it has the material and no permission to use it. What $10 million buys is clean title, a court approved dataset nobody can sue over, at a moment when everyone else is defending scraping claims. Dead companies can agree to things live ones can't. Any of this is worth paying for because the public supply is running down. Epoch AI's 2024 analysis put the stock of quality public human text at roughly 300 trillion tokens and projected it would be consumed between 2026 and 2032, a window that opens this year, and access has closed faster since than the arithmetic alone suggests. A census of the top 100,000 domains this July found 19.1% blocking at least one AI crawler, and in September Cloudflare begins blocking mixed use crawlers by default across its entire free tier. Private operational records are the obvious next reserve, and they are almost untouched. Epoch left them out of its estimate because private data is fragmented and legally too messy to use at scale, which is precisely the condition a bankruptcy court removes. That makes Wednesday's ruling more interesting than the sale. If it goes through, every bankruptcy from here has a new asset to offer, and the value will depend on how well documented the industry already is. A corner store has nothing worth buying, since you can watch how it works from the sidewalk. A hospital or a law firm is the opposite, because even with names removed the record shows how a case moves through the organization, who escalates what to whom, and which exceptions get made. That knowledge lives in internal systems and in people's heads and appears nowhere public. The catch is that the supply is biased toward failure, since no healthy company would sell its internal record, so every dataset that reaches the market comes from an operation that didn't work. That's useful for learning how a process runs, and much less useful for learning what good judgment looks like.

  I used to think “agents in group chats” were a gimmick. Now I think the bigger problem is that too much strategy still lives in my head, and too many useful skills are too messy or sensitive to share cleanly. That’s what changed my mind. I’m starting to think a multiagent should become the default workspace for our growth team. Not because Slack or gmail are unusable. They’re just very good at holding messages, and not that good at holding work. What I actually want is one place where people can @ my Codex directly to ask positioning and strategy questions. A lot of the time the problem is not execution. It’s that people are operating on slightly different versions of what I want. For example, yesterday my growth team Mengyao and Alyssa pulled me into a meeting to ask what I meant by doing a small creator push for Okeight. Actually they could just ask my codex That kind of nuance gets lost constantly if the only interface is “ask Monica in a meeting.” And honestly, I also forget to sync strategy changes fast enough. Sometimes I change my mind on priorities, or realize an angle is wrong, or want to shift the goal slightly, and I just forget to tell everyone in time. Then different people are working off different versions of the strategy. Nothing is fully broken, but the team drifts. I also want the group to automatically turn the past week of work into a real weekly report. I’ve tried asking people to write trackers before, and it’s painful for everyone. Not everyone is trained to produce polished internal docs, and more importantly, they shouldn’t have to spend time doing that just to prove work happened. What I actually want from a weekly report is: - what worked - what didn’t - what content performed unusually well - whose priorities are off - where output quality is weak - which direction feels wrong That should be inferred from the work, not manually reconstructed afterward. Then there’s the skill-sharing problem. Some of the most useful internal skills are hard to share directly because they expose too much. Sometimes sharing a deep skill means exposing keys. Sometimes it means exposing messy internal setup. Sometimes it’s just too complicated to package cleanly. I built a pretty complex video editing skill recently, and it made this very obvious. In theory I want that capability to be reusable. In practice, sharing it cleanly is hard, and sharing it carelessly is dangerous. I also keep running into a simpler but equally stupid problem: the context already exists somewhere, but I forget to attach it. For example, Mengyao ran a Reddit reply test recently, and the doc from that experiment has a huge amount of signal in it. It could shape product direction, growth direction, and a lot of downstream decisions. But when I’m talking to Codex about strategy, I still sometimes forget to include it. That is such a stupid failure mode. I used to think “agents in group chats” were a toy. Now I increasingly think a lot of teams do not need a smarter agent first. They need a workspace where the agent is already sitting inside the context, absorbing strategy changes as they happen, and using the shared work without everyone manually re-explaining it. We’re going to test this internally for real. I’ll report back next month with what worked, what was annoying, and what turned out to be fake.

  Wild Gmail experience this week. I added a TXT DNS verification record to our return path subdomain (marketbeat dot analyst ratings dot net) in Cloudflare to add it to Google Postmaster Tools. Somehow that caused Gmail to think our CNAME record for that subdomain which points to SendGrid has no valid SPF record. Gmail starts blocking about 30% of our messages because they had no valid SPF record and weren't validated. Took about 36 hours to figure out. I removed the new TXT record and the issue fixed itself within an hour.

  🦠 THEY HID FEDERAL RECORDS FOR YEARS 🔒 On August 18 2026, David Morens, longtime senior adviser to Anthony Fauci, pleaded guilty to conspiring to conceal COVID origins communications by routing them through personal Gmail to dodge FOIA and the Federal Records Act. Five years of deliberate record management around a lab linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. If that level of institutional self protection was used on a public pandemic, the same machinery has had decades to lock down UAP retrieval programs, reverse engineering efforts, and the black budget networks that fund them. What else has stayed off the official servers?
