  @IAMERICAbooted Am I wrong that DLP is often a fruitless endeavor if you haven’t done the preceding hard work of limiting egress paths? Why would you go hard in Purview if Todd can send emails to his personal gmail without problems. Gotta win those hygiene wins first with the brass

  People have been asking about the kinds of things I’ve been utilizing Grok Bot for as an average joe. I’ve posted elsewhere, but I’ll park some of it here for context of what someone who can’t use it on work systems (restricted from doing so) sees as a real use case for AGI: - Search for and book plane international first class (lay flat) tickets utilizing best award redemptions. (It found them, and were now going to Japan) - Dispute a significant Lexis Nexis error with supporting documents that reside in my email. - Provide me a policy analysis hourly based on various publicly available congressional bills and documents - Go into my AT&T bill and average my family’s monthly usage across 14 devices and see if it can negotiate a lower rate or see if I’m being overcharged (it found a lower rate and grabbed it) - Clean and organize my gmail inbox of 40,000 emails, and unsubscribe me from spam Granted, most of this stuff is not going to be done on a regular basis. Particularly the email organization. But these are the types of things that new general users are going to want to do. And if they run out of compute while doing it in the first few hours, they’re going to be more unlikely to resubscribe.

  Founders defend their calendar like a moat and bleed three hours a day into their inbox. Built Dawnbrief to fix that — it watches Gmail overnight, drafts in your voice, chases stalled threads, books meetings. Sixty-second review, nothing leaves without your tap. Coming soon.

  @infosec_james 100% and completely practical for elderly parents who get confused why Google on tv would ask them to sign in when they signed into gmail 4 days ago from their laptop. I know mom, it’s stupid, let’s get the book out snd sign you in.

  Ven Venkata | Email Marketing (@0Venkata) reported 14 minutes ago

  A list with 500 genuinely engaged subscribers will outperform a list with 5,000 loosely relevant ones on every metric that connects to revenue. Not because 500 is a better number. Because engagement quality determines inbox placement, and inbox placement determines whether the email gets seen, and whether the email gets seen determines whether any of the other decisions matter. The 5,000-subscriber list with 40% disengagement is sending to 2,000 people who are either not opening or not clicking, dragging the aggregate engagement signal down for every send. Gmail sees this. The inbox placement for the whole list reflects the behaviour of the disengaged portion. The 500-subscriber list where 80% click regularly sends a strong positive signal on every send. Inbox placement stays high. The engaged subscribers reinforce the reputation that makes the next send land well. The number that matters is not total subscribers. It's the percentage of total subscribers who are genuinely engaged, and whether that percentage is growing or declining as the list grows. If the list is growing and the engagement percentage is declining, the growth channel is importing dilution, not subscribers.

  Open Mousebot runs a whole AI agent team on the Claude plan you already have. Grokbot launched behind a waitlist. My trial tokens died in 20 minutes. One day later, a builder shipped this free open-source version. No waitlist. No new plan. It plugs into the Claude, Codex, or Grok tools you're already logged into. → Each agent gets its own model picker: fast brain for research, best brain for writing → It inherits the skills you already taught Claude. Zero re-setup. → Connects to 500+ apps: Gmail, Slack, Notion, one click → Everything stays in a folder on YOUR machine Honest catch: agents can't talk to each other yet, and computer use is slow. But two teams shipped the same "agent team" design one day apart. That's where this is heading. Save this. You'll want it later.

  You didn't pick your AI assistant. You typed the name you'd heard of into Google one day and the default stuck, and now it knows your business, holds your files, and leaving means teaching a new one from scratch. That was a free decision a year ago. It isn't anymore. Memory, uploaded files, custom instructions, app connections. All of it piles up inside one account and none of it comes with you. Here's what moved underneath you. Similarweb's July report puts ChatGPT at about 53% of global generative AI web traffic, down from 76% a year earlier. Gemini climbed to roughly 27%. Claude went from barely 2% to close to 9%. People are re-choosing. Most owners aren't. The prices are all the same, which is what trips people up. ChatGPT Plus $20, Claude Pro $20, Google AI Pro $19.99. This was never a price decision. It's a fit decision. Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar? Gemini. Reaching the work you already have beats any feature list. Proposals, contracts, careful client writing? Claude. Long documents, and the writing holds up when tone matters. Want the most tutorials and ready-made helpers? ChatGPT. Still the biggest by a wide margin, so the how-to content is everywhere. People ask which one I use. Claude, mostly. I run an ad agency and a consulting practice on it every day. But that's my answer for my businesses, not yours. A comparison like this has a shelf life of about three months, because all three ship features constantly and pricing moves with no notice. Which is why we re-verify ours every quarter instead of writing it once and letting it rot. The mistake I watch owners make isn't picking the wrong one. It's picking three. Free tiers everywhere, one paid plan nobody has trained, and you get three shallow acquaintances instead of one assistant that knows how you work. Three subscriptions and one habit is $40 a month donated to the AI industry. Pick one. Set up your custom instructions the day you subscribe, upload your price list and service descriptions and brand voice samples, give it one real job this week. If you want a second opinion before your team standardizes, that's what our Fractional AI Advisor does. We don't sell software, so we evaluate the tools against your actual workflows, get your team onto one standard, and keep you current as they change. Did you actually pick the assistant you're using, or did you just keep the first one you tried?

  Hackers should rot in hell. I have an old gmail account that got hacked, but I haven't shut it down yet because it has hundreds of genealogy emails from my now-deceased uncle stored in it which need to be printed out. Someone just signed up for the dating app OurTime, (not with my name, just the email), so now I get "match" emails, even after unsubscribing. I hate hackers.

  @bcherny Claude Code Gmail connector: /mcp reports auth success, then fetching tools fails every time. {"type":"not_found_error","message":"Server not found"} 5 attempts over ~2h, same thing. OAuth completes fine, so it's not the creds.

  Spam filters gave up on keywords years ago. What gets you flagged now is sending patterns. 40 emails in 60 seconds from one domain. Same body to 5,000 people. Zero replies coming back. Gmail reads behavior, not copy. Fix the cadence. The words are fine.

  First thing was have it ho through my Gmail and have it clean up my 40k emails, now it maintains my email every day, I also have it take long form video content and cut it down and edit it to make 9:16 short form content for YouTube. I would suggest just brain dump on Grok Bot, once it knows you, it will start making suggestions yo automate.

  UK (@mindacuity_ai) reported 35 minutes ago

  Grok Bot’s multi-account connectors solve a problem every other agent platform seems to ignore.Most platforms assume each person has one Gmail account and one Slack workspace. I had 3 email addresses and 3 Slack workspaces. Grok Bot let me connect all of them to a single bot, which made it genuinely useful from day one in a way that Codex and Claude still have not matched.

  Rohil Agarwal (@rohil_ag) reported 39 minutes ago

  @GaddipatiHarsha @ksw_arman Honestly a ton of it comes down to efficiency. Gmail is processing billions of emails per day, and at that scale you can’t just throw an expensive LLM call at every email (not to mention the hundreds of other things the servers have to detect, e.g. spam). Even if something costs a fraction of a cent per email, the compute + cost would be nuts But the move for email clients/startups just gotta be to do things that dont scale until that becomes an issue The other big difference is gmail has to cater to 5 year olds learning how to read, startup bros, retired seniors, and everything in between. Making a feature intuitive for basically every person imaginable is hard

  Seeker (@bykushnir) reported 41 minutes ago

  THE MOST EXPENSIVE AI MISTAKE ISN'T A BAD ANSWER. IT'S A BAD ANSWER THAT RUNS EVERY TUESDAY. A chatbot hallucinating once is annoying. An agent with Gmail, files, dashboards and scheduled routines hallucinating the same workflow every week is infrastructure failure. That's what I like about these 15 Grok Bot examples. Almost every workflow is built around the same boring rules: source every claim never guess when data is missing keep write actions behind approval make failures explicit test manually before scheduling None of that makes the agent look smarter. It makes the agent safe enough to stop watching. And I think that's where people misunderstand the agent era. We don't need AI that can complete the perfect task once while we're watching the screen. We need AI that can encounter a broken page, stale data or missing input on its 47th unattended run and decide: “I don't know enough to continue.” Intelligence gets an agent through the happy path. Boundaries are what let you trust it on Tuesday #47.

  CyberSignal | Cybersecurity News (@XQOPTRX) reported 44 minutes ago

  @saen_dev Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’d frame it too. Right now, prompt injection is still the more common entry point I’m seeing in published enterprise research. The tool-call side becomes more interesting once the agent already has access to things like SharePoint, Gmail, Drive, CRM, APIs, or internal search. That’s where the risk changes from “the model said something weird” to: the agent retrieved something sensitive and then used a legitimate tool to move or expose it. We’ve already seen researchers demonstrate this kind of chain with Copilot and connected services, but I wouldn’t say widespread real-world tool-call exfiltration is proven yet. Public evidence there is still much thinner than prompt-injection activity. So my current view is: Prompt injection is the entry vector. RAG, memory and tool permissions are the blast-radius multipliers. Once an agent can read data, retain context, call tools and communicate externally, the real security problem becomes much more about authorization and data flow than the model itself.

  @em_az When it is Gmail accounts there really is no choice. You are forced to use their OAuth and API system. This is has been the issue with clients I have paid for in the past. They did not use Google's user flow and eventually quit working. For most other email providers I think POP or IMAP will work fine.

  I'm sick of Google's constant privacy grab. Signing into gmail now means auto signin into Chrome. And they make your life miserable if you try to prevent it. Also, NO I WILL NOT TAKE A SELFIE. This denigrating practice has to stop. If this ever becomes mandatory I will switch.
