  @HowardRoark90 @Outlook @Microsoft Was having issues syncing my Gmail to Outlook earlier, but fine soon after. I removed and re-added my Gmail to Outlook etc.

  okay, so i was diving into the rollouts generated by qwen3.5 4B, here are some findings (given model has access to only api_search and api_fetch tool at any given point of time) > model is looking to gather information it needs to address query but ends up burning tokens and exhausts upper cap of 50 turns in getting a query that actually returns functions that can help model clear ambiguity. > in the partially succeeded rollout (score this way was 17), where the model did discover the correct tool, it would eventually fail to solve that particular task, eg. - (sales subset) example id 504: Qwen found and used the correct Salesforce update endpoint. It updated the wrong Marcus Wong. - (sales subset) example id 503: Qwen found and used the CampaignMember endpoint. It enrolled prohibited people because it skipped the policy. - (sales subset) example id 1204: even knowing the Facebook photo endpoint does not tell it which image is eligible; it must retrieve Gmail policy + Sheet rows first. so my takeaway is that entire problem breaks down to two subproblems: 1. tool discovery (has to be token efficient) 2. the core policy i.e. Prompt > infer what information is missing > search for a capability to retrieve it (basically 1st subproblem) > call that capability > interpret returned observation > identify what remains uncertain > retrieve more evidence > choose target(s) > execute minimal writes > verify end state > finish the moment we break the problem, it is clear that it is a variant of computer use problem. the model needs to learn the ReACT loop. that's it. that's the optimization objective.

  @ArcyloOfficial Get comfy! For me, my Gmail is a connector. This is OAuth into my inbox. Grok can: • search and read mail (body, headers, attachments) • draft replies • send / reply / forward if you grant write/send • label, trash, organize Base hook is often read-only. Send is an extra permission you click on purpose. If you connect it, the bot is sitting in the same box as bank alerts and 2FA codes. That is the whole risk. You can revoke anytime. Grok Bot can also skip my inbox and get its own address (AgentMail / similar plugins). Then it sends and receives from something@….agentmail.to, not from you. I use that if I want an agent that emails people without reading my personal mail. My GitHub OAuth into the GitHub user I sign in as. With the scopes I approve it can: • read public and private repos that account can see • search code, list branches, summarize PRs • open/update issues • create branches, push files, open/review/merge PRs • delete files if write is on Private repos work only if I granted repo (or equivalent) at connect time. Safer pattern: tell it to branch + PR, not push straight to main. Same revoke page. What it cannot do by default • It does not get your password. • It does not stay logged in if you disconnect the connector. • It does not magically see my GitHub orgs I never authorized. • Connecting email does not connect GitHub, and the other way around. Practical rule for me Do not hook personal Gmail if that inbox has 2FA and money mail unless you want an assistant reading it. GitHub is useful if I chose to still keep repos, ask it to show the diff before any write. If you only wanted “what does this button do,” that is the button: it is not a viewer badge. It is a key you can take back. This is what I’m experiencing with learning to use it. It’s different and I’m starting to like it.

  @krainboltgreene @Speedkicks @slime_machine Unfortunately, it's basically impossible to create your own email server. The software and hardware is easy enough to get setup, but the major email service providers (Microsoft Outlook, Google Gmail, contracted emails through those 2) block all but a shortlist of providers.

  Gmail dark mode has broken more of our emails than Outlook ever did. And nobody warns you, because it never seems to show up in your own inbox. Here's the problem… Outlook is at least predictable. It doesn't support something, you work around it, and it stays broken the same way forever. Gmail dark mode reads your carefully chosen colors and decides, per platform, whether to flip them. Gmail on Android inverts your backgrounds. Gmail on iOS partially inverts them. Gmail on the web mostly leaves them alone. Same HTML, three different emails. And prefers-color-scheme, the one standard that's supposed to solve this, is ignored by the clients that need it most. I call this the Gmail flip. Your email is correct right up until the moment it renders. What actually breaks: - Dark logos on transparent PNGs land on a dark background and vanish - Light backgrounds get inverted but the text sitting on them sometimes doesn't. White on white. - A button with a light fill and light text becomes one flat rectangle Things we do to help combat: 1. Set an explicit color on every text element, not just the parent. Gmail inverts by luminance, and inherited colors are the first casualty. 2. Give every logo a version that survives both modes, usually a subtle outline or a padded solid background. 3. Use the linear-gradient background hack on anything that must not flip. Gmail leaves gradient backgrounds alone.

  @cartierfamilyZ Why are people so pressed about data centers all of a sudden? All of your online information from X account, to gmail, any online storage, website etc is stored in a data center. We've had data centers for decades, all of a sudden they're an issue? Take a deep breath, and tune out the idiotic noise.

  @JohnBeaudoinSr Wow. Gmail shares attachments with AI, and yesterday, GoDaddy’s Outlook was down for 8 hours. I was unable to log in on my laptop, and the mobile app showed no new emails all day. Looks to me like they don’t want us emailing one another, in preparation for the next thing.

  @AMoser_E @TutaPrivacy @ProtonMail If you make a Proton account, and sink Gmail to it. Pick at it. Don't make it a chore. A couple of accounts at a time, or one, or binge it. Whatever. It is possible to degoogle yourself. I degoogled and deMicrosofted myself. I am fully on Linux (Mint), and on Calyx OS for phone. Slow and steady wins the race friend. A sandwich isn't consumed in one bite, but many.

  @XFreeze the recovery piece stands out to me most. for longer tasks across multiple PDFs + MCPs like Gmail, Notion or Google Drive, losing progress to a token or network issue would be rough. that kind of resilience matters a lot more as agent workflows get longer!

  Ankit Agarwal (@kumarumt) reported 21 minutes ago

  @theo Account risk is the silent pricing factor. A Gemini ban that nukes Gmail and Drive is not a product outage, it is personal catastrophe. Labs that want builders will separate model access from identity, or lose the default to anyone who cannot afford that downside.

  Firstly financial institutions have to inform both regulators and customers about any maintenance. If they don't inform, they could have fines or get sued. 8 hour maintenance doesn't mean 8 hour downtime. All other tech services including AWS, Gmail, etc can have downtimes and not answerable to anyone. No AWS customer ever got any compensation when it went down. Next is most critical financial transactions work through the maintenance (most monetary txns). Even most web or mobile applications work too with concurrency and parallel leg deployment. Lastly, FI have a balance between cost and modernity. They don't need to have every shiny new toy in the market. 50 year old mainframes work perfectly well with just peripheral API stack instead of wholesale cloud migration.

  1. Find intent before you write anything Grok’s real advantage vs other models is live public X + web search. Use that for signals, not generic “write me a blog.” Ask it to: Pull how your ICP actually describes the problem this week (exact phrases, not marketing-speak). Find posts where people complain about a competitor, ask for alternatives, or announce a relevant hire/launch. Scan a target account’s recent news, jobs, and exec posts and extract 2–3 business priorities you can attach your product to. That language becomes better ads, landing pages, and first lines than anything invented from a persona doc. Treat every list as a research draft and verify people/companies yourself. Starter prompt: “Search X and the web for the last 14 days. Find posts from [title] at [company type] describing [problem you solve] or looking for an alternative to [competitor]. Quote the original language. Score each 1–10 for buying intent. Ignore generic venting.” 2. Build inbound assets that both humans and AIs can cite Website + content still drive a large share of B2B pipeline, and “generative engine optimization” now matters: buyers ask Grok / ChatGPT / Perplexity for software recommendations. Structure pages so an answer engine can extract a clean definition, comparison, and proof. Have Grok: Turn one customer win into a case study, comparison page, implementation guide, and FAQ cluster. Write definition-first sections (“X is…”, “Choose X when…”), question-style H2s, and short self-contained paragraphs. Produce an SEO/GEO brief: primary query, related questions, stats to source, internal links, and a “quotable” 2–3 sentence answer block. Then publish the best facts in crawlable HTML, not only behind a form. Gated PDFs are leads; public HTML is how AIs mention you. I can also turn those briefs into a Word doc, one-pager PDF, or slide deck you can ship. 3. Multiply one asset across the funnel One strong source (webinar transcript, customer interview, product changelog, whitepaper) should become: 1 long-form page 3–5 LinkedIn posts / X threads a 3–5 email nurture ad variants a sales one-pager Grok is good at this if you lock voice and constraints: tone, claims you can legally make, words you never use, CTA by stage. Ask for variants, not one “perfect” draft. Human-edit anything that goes live. 4. Personalize outbound without sounding like a bot Grok does not replace your list, sequencer, or judgment. It is best at research and tightening copy you already have. Workflow that actually works: You pick the account. Paste homepage copy, a press release, two job posts, and a LinkedIn About. Ask for priorities + one specific observation that ties to your offer. Ask for a 20-word opener that references a real detail—or “nothing specific, don’t invent.” You send. Never let it invent titles, emails, or flattery. At a startup, quality of 30 messages beats volume of 3,000. 5. Arm sales so marketing-sourced leads don’t stall Pipeline dies in the handoff. Use Grok to produce: Account briefs the morning of a call Objection handling from real competitor language on X Battle cards and “why us vs them” one-pagers Recap emails from call notes Simple decks for a first meeting If you connect CRM / Gmail / Slack (where available), it can draft in your tools and leave send/update for a human. That is the safe pattern GTM teams are using with Grok Bot-style workflows. 6. Run a weekly operating rhythm, not random chats The teams getting leverage treat Grok like a junior analyst with a standing brief: Monday: competitor and category scan (what changed, what buyers said). Midweek: content and ad variants from one approved source asset. Friday: “what should we test next” from performance notes you paste in. You can also use scheduled Automations so a research prompt runs on a cadence and you wake up to a digest instead of a blank page. What not to do Do not auto-send cold email or LinkedIn from raw Grok output. Do not use generated images as finished brand creative for customer-facing campaigns; they are fine for internal mockups and ideation. Do not treat citations or company facts as final without a source check. Do not optimize only for “more MQLs.” Optimize for meetings and opportunities with your ICP. Highest-leverage first week for a small SaaS team Feed Grok 3 customer calls + your ICP and extract the exact problem language. Rebuild your top 3 high-intent pages (comparison, use-case, pricing/FAQ) so they are quotable. Turn one closed-won story into a case study + LinkedIn series + 4-email sequence. Build a 15-account research pack and personalized openers for outbound. Give sales a one-page “how to talk about us vs [top competitor]” they will actually use. If you tell me your product, ICP (title + company type), and whether you lean inbound or outbound, I can draft the first asset set in this chat—positioning lines, page outline, email sequence, or X/LinkedIn posts—ready for you to edit.

  @blessedby__ @GoogleWorkspace @Em0517561932234 imo this would make the implication even worse. Gmail forces ‘Gemini Flows’ and automation down my throat constantly, yet they don’t use their own tech? Seems dumb for one of the biggest AI companies in the world to have a standardized reply that’s completely irrelevant, instead of y’know, using their technology to automate a relevant reply.

  @Zoom Oh! I remember the other problem. The "send a code" button is super slow. Yes, I checked my spam folder. Took several minutes to come through. To a gmail domain. It also produces a captcha error every time you click the button even after you've already clicked the captcha.

  This has become a recurring problem. This has happened earlier too (maybe 2 months ago?), and its happening again. Entire businesses run on Whatsapp (I am NOT a proponent of that!) and this kind of an advance hoc review/hold can bring businesses to a standstill! Solution: 1. Move back to good ol' email. 2. For IM and VCs, use Meet/Teams/Zoom. 3. For channels, try Slack. 4. For OTPs, use SMS 5. Want to save on call charges then use the voice call feature on Meet/Teams. There is nothing unique that Whatsapp offers that your life cannot get by without. It's just that we are way too deep in a comfort zone and Zuck is exploring that to the fullest! If you have a damn smartphone then you sure as hell have a Gmail account or you wouldn't have been able to download Whatsapp. So move your arse out from WhatsApp and explore other options.

  @mdreinders @bdsams It's pretty garbage for work account use cases as well, at least in my case. It nags you daily with summaries, which are basically just prompts that you could have used yourself from the left sidebar or ribbon menu. Copilot in Outlook is really horrible (overall). It can't find emails. It can't make basic changes to the emails I've written. It simply doesn't follow my instructions most of the time. "Can you just fix grammar" > proceeds to rewrite the entire email. Gemini in Gmail is also pretty trash. I do not understand how AI in email can be so bad, as it's a pretty good use case for AI, imho

  One of my top media buyers told me my plan was wrong on Friday. He had the numbers. I was the one who had to change. I'd asked how he wanted to split brand and non-brand across Shopping and Performance Max on a client account. I already had a view. Shopping on brand, PMax on prospecting. Clean. Conventional. What I would have built myself. He came back with something different. Search and Shopping carry brand and non-brand. Demand Gen takes prospecting because Demand Gen lets you choose your placements and PMax doesn't. Then he showed me why. When we pushed PMax harder earlier in the month, the campaign quietly reallocated almost all of its spend into Gmail and the return collapsed. Pull the budget back down and it went straight back to Search. He'd also caught something I hadn't weighted. The branded PMax campaign in the same account is performing fine. So rather than shutting it off, he wanted to step it down gradually and watch whether Shopping absorbs the volume. That's a better plan than mine. Not even close. Here's the part I keep thinking about. He didn't ask permission to disagree. He'd already run the analysis, already built the counter-position, and sent it in a Slack message on a Friday afternoon. That doesn't happen by accident, and it isn't a personality trait. It happens when disagreeing has never cost anyone anything. The version of this that goes wrong is quiet. Someone sees the mix shift, assumes the founder already knows, and executes the worse plan anyway. Nobody argues. The account just underperforms for a quarter and nobody can point to why. I'd rather be corrected on a Friday than be right in a room where nobody talks. This is why hiring the right people is everything.

  Shout out to @MailspringApp I installed it last year for a desktop app that had Gmail keyboard shortcuts. I just noticed it has an MCP server now. I don't have to do a song an dance to give my Hermes agent access to various email accounts. I can reference an account and subject when prompting my agent and it can read the email, screenshots, attachments, etc. It can even draft reply emails for me that I can go back an edit and send when I'm ready. Thank you!

  @nicdunz It's cool. You can just utilise the bug in their billing to get access to other accounts that they won't fix despite it being on the dev forums. I used this on a Gmail account to "breach" my own business account for a proof of concept to get them to fix it. Didn't need to provide consent or anything. Just sitting there draining my own business account via a gmail.

  These capitalistic tech giants astonish me. They handed me a shiny free Gmail service, stealthily vacuum up my life, then either feed the data into their own next product or sell it to whoever pays. They want a front-row seat to almost everything I do—and then they have the nerve to charge me a subscription for the privilege. Classic move: invent the problem, monetize the “solution.” The whole racket of capitalists is so brazen it almost deserves a ceremonial send-off: wrap the lot of them in their own terms of service and drop them into the deepest trench the ocean has. Anyway. Time to say goodbye to Gmail.

  LinkedIn bought the best Gmail extension ever made. Then killed it. Twice. 2012: LinkedIn buys Rapportive for a reported $15M. The sidebar showed you who any email sender really was. Salespeople used it for something else entirely: type a guessed email into Gmail, and if Rapportive lit up, the address was real. 2017: rebranded into "Sales Navigator Lite for Gmail". 2020: shut down. Official reason: low adoption. Then it happened AGAIN. The most recommended replacement, Clearbit Connect, died in April 2025. (HubSpot bought Clearbit, and that was that.) Rapportive died twice. The job never did. Find a work email, prove it's real before you hit send. People did that by hand, address by address, in the To: field. Today it's verification against live mail servers, and if the lookup misses, you don't pay. We wrote up which famous "Rapportive replacements" are actually still alive in 2026. The graveyard is longer than you think. Link in the replies 👇

  Gmail search is broken. We're building an AI assistant which lets people talk to it. It tries to look up contacts by the name it hears. 60% of the time it failed. The reason it failed was because we were learning on Gmail search. Gmail's search doesn't understand that words can sound alike. It only matches from the start of a word, caps how many results it returns, and doesn't sort by how relevant a result actually is. Somehow it gets worse, because the old matching would grab any word containing the letters you typed. Searching for "Dr. Stevens" could match the "dr" hiding inside "Sandra" or "Pedro," and one of those wrong matches would often win. We got fed up and built our own directory instead.

  Have iOS @gmail notifications been completely broken for anyone else? For me, notifications stop for a period of multiple hours then I get like 45 at once. Notification settings are all correct, tried uninstall and reinstall which seemed to fix it for a day. Now, back to broken.
