  Hey creators & @TeamYouTube @Google, I really need your help! I’m completely locked out of my Google Account/Gmail due to an identity verification issue during login. Because of this, I’ve lost access to my monetized, fully compliant YouTube channel for over a week.

  @LLMJunky I’ve found it to be quite reliable with some boring regular tasks with existing plugins, like Gmail and calendar. It’s seems to reflect how I would write a response and manages issues quite well on email and seems to just get jobs done without much intervention. Not using it for coding more personal and admin tasks. Saying that also experimenting with it managing some marketing for couple iOS apps I don’t want to do!

  @jyn_urso Sure. I’ve self-hosted since the 90s. The biggest problems have almost always been with DNS instead: such security as others require (eg Gmail) almost always require familiarity with it as well.

  I built a Grok Bot agent whose only job is to book golf tee times for me. Saturday mornings before 8:30am (and the heat) are the most popular and hard to get. Slots disappear in minutes. If someone cancels at 2pm or 11pm. Or while I'm driving or in a meeting and can't login. So the bot watches for me. A Noteefy alert hits Gmail. The bot reads it, logs into the booking platform, uses the credit card on file, and books the time before I would have even opened the email. Grok Bot did in 5 minutes what took me months to set up in OpenClaw. Really does feel like a big step forward in mass adoption of ai agents. Also multi agent layout is the part I like most. One bot=one job. Makes it easy to spin up a new agent for a specific task. I've built a few for work as well. One checks Slack for messages I missed. One checks Gmail for the same. One posts action items into Slack after meetings. So far all of them are running more reliably than the same jobs I tried with Claude routines or ChatGPT scheduled tasks.

  So, I jumped on the @bot wagon. First stupid task after I connected Gmail: trash all the emails in the Promotions tab, around 48000. It was deleting just a bunch of them and really slowly. So he asked me to login directly. I did. You can look at the conversation, the bot was deleting one row at a time. Even after pushing it, despite saying it was going to select all, it got stuck. I had to stop it and doing the task myself, after 15 minutes and 21% of usage. 21% for failing deleting a bunch of emails. Now, I don't doubt Bot is an incredible tool for developers, on specific technical tasks. But if they want the masses to adopt this tech, not the way to go. And I'm saying that from 30 years in IT, I enjoy playing with it, I have also Hermes on trial. I still don't see the appeal for the common people, for now. I don't see them spending a lot of money in subcriptions/tokens for tasks that are easier and faster done in person (exactly 3 clicks on Gmail for mine). Potential is enormous and it will be probably reached in a few months (thanks to all of us training them while paying for it). I think a lot of people here on X are just "pumping" their posts to get engagement, telling the world how bots/harnesses are changing their life

  @milan_milanovic @dhh @lexfridman Judgment beats horsepower even in tool selection. I spent a weekend comparing Rube against Composio for my Nanobot setup, and narrowed the whole thing down to one hard spec: Gmail read and send, no delete, plus Linear. Tight requirements beat clever prompts.

  My voice agent pages a human when something on a call can't wait. It emails whoever's on duty with an acknowledge link. Click it, the alert is marked handled, the ladder stops climbing. Every single one was getting acknowledged within seconds. Before a person had opened the message. Enterprise mail security fetches every URL in an inbound message at delivery. SafeLinks, Proofpoint, Mimecast, Gmail prefetch. This is not new, the email marketing world has been fighting it since at least 2019 when Office 365 started unsubscribing people who never clicked anything, and the fix is the rule HTTP has had for twenty five years: a GET doesn't get to change things. Which I know. Everybody knows. My route had a comment on it saying "GET, because it is the target of a link in an email," which is true, and is not a reason to make it act. GET now renders a confirm button and changes nothing. POST records. There's a test that fetches the URL and asserts the alarm is still armed.

  Feature 3: He set up Do Not Disturb While Driving — the setting that automatically silences every non-essential notification the moment Android Auto connects. "How many notifications buzzed the dashboard during 12 hours of driving?" "Constant. It never stopped." "That's the problem. Instagram. Gmail. News apps. Shopping alerts. Group chats. Every single notification popped up on the Android Auto screen while someone was driving at highway speed. Every banner pulled attention. Every buzz moved eyes from the road to the screen, even for a fraction of a second. Over 12 hours, that's potentially hundreds of interruptions on a dashboard designed to keep a driver focused." "Android's Do Not Disturb While Driving mode silences all of it. You set it up once in your phone's Settings under Do Not Disturb, then add an automation rule that activates it when Android Auto connects. You choose which contacts can still reach you, family, your partner, close friends, and everything else goes silent. An auto-reply sends itself to anyone who messages during the drive telling them you're on the road." "It activates automatically every time the phone connects. No manual toggle. No remembering. Plug in. The noise stops. Unplug. The notifications return. One setup, one time, and every drive afterward is distraction-free."

  Your cold email isn't getting ignored. It's getting filtered. Burned domain. No warm-up. One inbox pushing 150 sends a day. Gmail decided you're spam before a human ever saw a word. Fix the infrastructure first. Deliverability is the game before the game.

  social media farming myth #7: a 14-day warmup + any us vpn = a us account myth: scroll like a monk for 2 weeks, hit nordvpn, you’re american. or the opposite: you need a us-bought iphone, us gmail, us app store, us voip, and a guy in USA or the account is dead. reality: tiktok is matching signals. warmup is just “don’t look like a bot on day 1.” people **** this up by mixing 6 countries in one setup. if you already live in the usa on your own phone: no farm warmup. don’t dump 8 videos day 1. that’s it !! if you’re outside the usa and want us viewers, keep one story: must match - ip: us residential or us mobile/4g. not a cheap shared vpn - phone language + region + timezone: united states - you watch us english content during warmup - you post in english - same device every time usually does not need to be “born in america” - the physical phone can be bought anywhere. a used se/x is fine. factory reset it. - gmail does not need to be created in the us. a normal unique email is enough. - “us device” means settings + network, not the box it shipped in. ios extra - us app store / us apple id helps consistency on iphone. - a french apple id + us proxy + local sim is how accounts get confused. phone number - best: real us sim or us esim in that phone, used on wifi + that sim. - mid: trusted us number that can actually receive sms, kept on that account. - bad: random voip (textnow, many google voice, textplus). tiktok burns these constantly. - worse for farms: smspool / sms-activate / 5sim rented +1 numbers. they work once, then the number is recycled across 200 farms and the account dies later. do not - leave your home-country sim in while “being us” - turn vpn on/off between sessions - create the account on home wifi then switch to a us ip - hire a us person only for 10 minutes of warmup then log in from pakistan the next day. t he login geo has to stay us. simple warmup people skip because they overthink the rest 1/ lock the us network first, then open tiktok 2/ 3–7 days scroll us niche, light likes, no bots 3/ one original in-app post 4/ analytics → audience country. if it’s your home country, the geo isn’t set. more scrolling won’t save a ***** ip. warmup is easy. mixed signals are what kill the account.

  On Shopify + Google Workspace and notice customers going silent after they order? We send a confirmation, then a design proof. The proof often gets no reply. That’s a problem. Shopify wants fast fulfillment for fraud protection. We don’t pull stock off a shelf. We make the thing. Waiting on proof approval burns the clock. Checked the domain. No DKIM. No DMARC. Our emails probably looked like spam. Turns out the customer might not be ignoring us. Gmail is because of our configuration.

  Day 2 of (not) using Grok Bot: ...I burned through my entire month's(?) SuperGrok Bot usage in the first day, with 1 bot, just using a mobile device (still haven't gotten the desktop app to work on Windows). Pretty sure what inefficiently used my tokens was an "email inbox cleanup" task.  My bot reported that it was rate limited by gmail, and was unable to further batch-delete junk from my inbox, but it would 'try another way'.  I'm guessing this way was prohibitively token-expensive.  It was helpful, and did delete thousands of messages, but it was working for many minutes... could have been an hour+  just deleting emails before my usage was up.  Again, I'm just on mobile, because the desktop app was giving me an error, so the details of the "thinking" were not visible to me. Somewhat on me for not putting a token use safety-check in there... but I had never hit the ceiling before. Some of the things it did on day 1 WERE amazing. When on mobile, it prompted my to use the mouse on a virtual PC desktop, on my phone, to enter a OTP for a different email account. It's not elegant, but it just worked. The voice interface for just searching email and Google drive in vague terms has been awesome. @johnennis @bot @web4O

  I’m building something I’ve been thinking about for a while an AI-powered document automation system for shipment and logistics operations. Because let’s be honest… A lot of businesses are still receiving invoices, shipping documents, packing lists, purchase orders, and other documents through email, then someone has to open each file, read through it, copy the information manually, validate it, enter it into a system, and finally store the document somewhere. That is a lot of repetitive work. So I’m building a workflow that handles that process automatically. The idea is simple: 📩 A client sends a document through Gmail. 📎 The workflow picks up the attachment automatically. 🤖 AI identifies what type of document it is. 📄 If it is a PDF, image, scanned document, or another supported format, the workflow processes the content so the AI can actually understand it. 🧠 The AI extracts important shipment information such as: • Shipment Number • Invoice Number • Purchase Order • Container Number • Booking Number • Vendor • Customer • Consignee • Shipper • Carrier • Origin Port • Destination Port • Departure Date • Arrival Date • Weight • Volume • Packages • Currency • Total Amount • Incoterms • Reference Number But I don’t want AI to just extract information and throw it somewhere. The workflow also validates the information. If the confidence is high and everything checks out → continue automatically. If important information is missing, the confidence is low, there is a duplicate shipment, the document cannot be processed, or something doesn't look right → send it for human review. Then the system stores the structured information in Google Sheets for now, while the original document is organized in Google Drive. So the complete flow looks something like: Gmail → Attachment → Document Processing → AI Classification → AI Extraction → Validation → Duplicate Check → Google Sheets → Google Drive → Notification And yes, I’m currently using Google Sheets as the ERP layer for the demo. The bigger idea isn't really about Google Sheets though. It is about showing how you can take something as messy as: “Here is an email with a PDF attached.” …and turn it into: “Here is a validated shipment record ready for your operations team.” That is the part of AI automation I enjoy. Not just adding AI because AI is trending. Actually looking at a business process, finding where people are wasting time, and building a system that removes the unnecessary manual work. I’m still testing different document types, OCR, validation rules, AI extraction and the error-handling side of the workflow. Because production automation isn't just: “It worked once.” It needs to handle situations where the document is missing information. It needs to handle duplicates. It needs to handle bad files. It needs to handle multiple attachments. It needs to know when to continue automatically and when to involve a human. That is where the real automation work begins. I’m building it, testing it, breaking it, and improving it. And honestly, this is the kind of system I love building. 🤖 I’m Agbaje Olarewaju AI Automation Specialist. I build systems that turn repetitive business processes into workflows that actually work.

  My Review of Grok Bot: I went into it with the intention to set it up to take care of some things for me later regarding travel type things. I ended up doing much more. Basically all the complicated tasks I was too dumb or impatient enough to do for (I’m not exaggerating) the last 9 years. Then I figured it did that much, I’ll have it do more stuff I’ve been putting off. I haven’t even gotten to its true purpose yet of setting up frequent tasks for it to run in the background. For me it would be simple stuff like meal planning, filling the virtual grocery cart accordingly, and having it delivered. I’m not exactly sure what else at the moment. But today as a first experience it was mostly smooth. It did have its own computer that ended up having a bunch of tabs it was navigating between. When ever it needed me to put in a password it would hand control over to me. Kind of like when IT takes control of your console at work. Same thing for the little “verify you are human” tasks. It would easily retrieve codes from my email while doing all the tasks it needed them for through websites. I had to put in the OTP codes sent to my phone. It navigated its web browser like a human would. It found me deals, added stuff to my cart, filled out name change forms and submitted formal documents, it checked me in for my flight tomorrow and my rental car, updated my calendar. All sorts of things. I am quite pleased with “having another me” to help me out. I had it help me out like an assistant. It did all of this while I worked my remote job, cooked fish for my dog, and rewired a light. This will be a great tool for busy people. I can’t wait to assign it regular tasks to free up more time. I love Grok Bot so far! ————————————————- I asked it for a summary of what it did for me this afternoon: **Travel** - Signed into the airline site, pulled the weekend itinerary, and completed check-in for tomorrow’s outbound flight (boarding group and seat assigned). Return still needs check-in later. - Found the rental-car reservation, put it on the calendar, and continued online check-in (skipped extra coverage). - Added a weekend event trip and lodging notes to Google Calendar. - Added a December group trip from confirmation emails (two different airlines, two households). **Calendar** - Added a batch of yearly all-day birthdays from phone screenshots and converted existing ones to all-day. - Set a daily morning check to ping 3 days before a birthday. - Added upcoming dentist, orthotics, a morning event, a ticket-buying reminder, and a yearly specialist appointment. **Pets** - Compared current prices for a 6-month chewable flea/tick/heartworm prescription and found the best online coupon deal. Checkout was started; the purchase was finished on the user’s phone. **Shopping accounts** - Untangled two retailer accounts (active Prime vs leftover unused). - Freed the current email on the unused account, then moved Prime sign-in onto the current email. - Closed the leftover unused account after email confirmation. **Airline loyalty** - Signed into the frequent-flyer account. - Submitted a legal name-change with government ID and court paperwork. Review window is 10–14 days; a follow-up check will watch email for the decision. - Another airline’s login was down; skipped (no flights there this year). **Old email** - Connected a second Gmail (the old address). - Reviewed a year of mail: keep it as a recovery inbox, not a daily one. Several logins and 2FA codes still go there; no banks, taxes, medical, or family mail. - Unsubscribed real marketing lists. Left account/security mail and the spam folder alone. Did not touch the current Gmail.

  @RebCoPTrainee I receive emails from patients’ hotmail/outlook etc accounts without issue. None go into my junk folder. I can also send reminders& forward stuff from my home accounts (gmx, gmail or yahoo) without the need to set an exclusion rule. I expect it depends on the individual Trust.
