luca | retention marketing (@lucamailz) reportedthe fastest way to fix your deliverabilityโฆ suppress 30% of your list. the dead weight that hasn't opened in 120+ days is killing your sender reputation. gmail sees you sending to inboxes that ignore you, and it quietly slides every future send into promotions or spam. your "list of 200k" is actually 140k engaged subscribers and 60k anchors pulling you under. cut them out. watch your inbox placement jump in less than 2 weeks.

Dennis Motta (@desno365) reported@andrewchen I am. the main issue is that only verified apps can access gmail and drive, so it will be much harder to set up openclaw/hermes to access your gmail

Dylan Mikus (@dbmikus) reportedMy Gmail is now 46,000 markdown files on my laptop. My agents can extract feature requests, draft follow-ups to people I ghosted, pull every invoice from Q1. Built it as an OSS tool with mbsync, a typescript markdown converter, ripgrep, and the Google Workspace CLI Now I load my email into @amikadev as a repo, and can ask my agent questions about my inbox from anywhere: Slack, my laptop, a Linear issue Happy to package up and share the code with whoever wants it

Harry Tandy (@HarryTandy) reported> open Hermes for the first time > looks like another ai chat wrapper > close it after 20 minutes > think โwhy would anyone pay for thisโ > then plug in Firecrawl, Reddit, YouTube transcripts > suddenly the agent has eyes on the web, ears on forums, memory from 3-hour podcasts > ask it to research a sponsor > it scrapes the site, checks Reddit rage, pulls YouTube mentions > drops a one-page โtake / donโt takeโ brief in Discord > add Browserbase > now it clicks through sites that block scrapers > add Bland > now it can call restaurants, vendors, support lines > add Stripe > now โwhy did this customer churn?โ comes back with refunds, failed charges, receipts > plug in Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets > now it lives where your work already lives > plug in GitHub > now it can triage issues and review PRs > plug in Obsidian, Readwise, Granola > now it remembers meetings, highlights, notes you forgot you wrote > wake up Monday > Hermes already pulled revenue, subs, refunds, churn, follower growth > posts the week-vs-last-week dashboard before coffee > realize the chatbot didnโt get smarter > you just gave it limbs

Aditya Patro | Founder, Inference (@AdityaRPatro) reportedGoogle's Universal Cart thing actually feels like a big deal. We've all been there: you're watching YouTube, see something you want, switch to Search, maybe check Gmail for a coupon, and end up with different carts. Half the time, you just give up. Now they're saying one cart for all of it. Search, Gemini, YouTube, whatever. Add once, and it just sits there, no matter where you spotted it. That alone is gonna cut down on so much stupid friction. The AI part is what I'm most hyped about. Gemini watches prices, telling you when something drops, reminding you if stock is running out, even checking if stuff matches or suggesting better options. Plus, it digs into your Wallet for random loyalty points and card perks you forgot you had. It's like having a shopping buddy who actually pays attention. Mind-boggling. For retail and e-commerce, this could quietly change everything. Right now, the whole game is fighting abandoned carts and broken journeys. If Google pulls this off, people stay in the flow longer, buy more, and smaller stores get a shot at customers they never would've reached. Amazon's had the single-cart thing locked down for years, now Google's bringing it everywhere. That pressure is gonna force a lot of sites to play nicer with integrations instead of building their own little walled worlds. I think this is the kind of boring-but-huge shift that actually moves the needle. Shopping becomes less of a task and more of something you just do while living in Google's apps. Summer rollout in the US, Iโm gonna test it day one and see if it lives up to the hype. Feels way more real this time. What do you think?

Rake Washington (@RakeWashington) reportedTuesday: debugged an OAuth refresh race in Gmail-to-HubSpot sync. 40 contacts stuck half-written. Fix wasn't smarter AI โ just a 12-line retry wrapper with idempotency keys. What's the ugliest edge case your agent workflow hit that no demo covers?

Tag VinZant (@TagVinZant) reportedI wonder how much productivity the entire world economy has lost just from Microsoft products not working as intended. Freelancing for a new company, and they gave me my first Office 365 email that I've ever had to deal with on a professional basis. Within the first 2 hours, it's not even working and won't let me send emails. I'll take "things that would never happen with Gmail" for $500.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedChatGPT Codex Just Became A Full AI Worker Most people still think it only writes code. Theyโre about to get left behind. What Changed: โ Codex can now build full apps from one prompt โ Plugins connect it to Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Figma, Linear, Sheets, and 90+ tools โ It can wire APIs, read docs, test workflows, and fix bugs without you doing the painful setup The New Workflow: โ One agent builds the frontend โ One agent builds the backend โ One agent tests the app โ One agent writes docs โ One agent fixes bugs in parallel Real Example: โ Ask Codex to build a lead form โ Connect Gmail + Google Sheets โ Send thank-you emails automatically โ Log new leads without manual data entry The big lesson: Stop using Codex like a coding assistant. Use it like a builder that can automate the boring parts of your business.

LottBerson (@Berson_lott) reported@md_kasif_uddin Gmail. But now I built something called Mailclaw. It connects my Gmail with tools like Slack, Notion, Google Calendar, HubSpot, and Linear. Now, when I receive certain emails in Gmail, it can automatically trigger actions across those tools. For example, creating a Linear issue when a bug report comes in.

Avid (@Av1dlive) reported10,500 stars. #1 trending on GitHub. #1 on Product Hunt. an open-source AI harness for the 99% of people who don't live in a terminal just shipped. it's called OpenHuman, by @tinyhumansai. i've been running it. here's why it matters : even if you build harnesses for a living. [ what it actually is ] chat tab. not a wrapper. an OS-level harness that: sees your screen autocompletes in your voice, system-wide joins your Google Meets as a real participant (not a bot in the corner : an actual seat) builds a knowledge base from your emails, messages, and notes : all on-device think Claude Code's harness model, except shipped for people who have never opened a terminal. [ the 4 decisions that make it different ] 1. zero setup. no terminal. no API keys. no config.json. download, sign in, running. the harness pattern doesn't reach 99% of users until the install is one click. tinyhumans got there. 2. local-first by default. your data never leaves your machine. not to OpenAI. not to Anthropic. encrypted on disk. self-hosted sync only if you turn it on. day 1 it's useful. day 30 it knows you better than your calendar : because it's been reading the calendar. 3. 118 connectors, one click each. Gmail. Slack. Notion. GitHub. Instagram. Telegram. Discord. Drive. and 110 more. every "personal AI" before this punted on integrations. this one didn't. 4. $20/mo replaces the stack. ChatGPT Plus + Claude Pro + the rest = $100+/month for most of us. OpenHuman is GPL-3. $20/mo. one account. $1 free credit on signup : about 100 prompts to feel it. [ the part that surprised me ] it has a face. it speaks. it reacts to what's on your screen. it joins meetings as a participant and executes tasks in the background while you're on the call. this is what a personal AI should have been from the start. not a tab you open. a presence that lives on your machine. [ what to do ] bookmark this. download it tonight. run it for 30 days. the longer it runs, the more it knows you. day 30 is the day you don't go back.

There's a leaked Google agent buried inside Android beta 17.23 that runs in the background of your real life. โ Pulls from Gmail, Calendar, Drive, your logins, your location, and your habits โ 50 unread emails sort themselves before you open the inbox โ Monday catchup doc is drafted before you sit down โ Skills let you teach it a weekly task once and it repeats it for you โ The onboarding screen says it may make purchases without asking first โ Spark Robin layer renders cards, timelines, and dashboards instead of plain text You stopped going to the AI. The AI started running ahead of you. Read the permission screen before you tap turn on.

Ernie Maldonado (@ernielm) reported@taodan @gmail I used to love Inbox. I don't mind Gmail on the Mac that much. The painful part is using it on my iPhone (and it's pretty much the same in Android, so it's not an iOS issue).
