Owizzle (@WillyB_303) reportedGuys, I think 1X is in deep trouble. I've been thinking about their "developer platform," and I don't think it makes much sense. I get the 10 second pitch. Do a Guy Kawasaki era Apple play. But this feels different. The original Apple was only $3,800 in today's dollars. And the original Mac only cost $7,700 in today's dollars. And both of those came right after recessions, whereas today we're heading into one. Each of these products was also a "bicycle for the mind." A pre-AGI robotic humanoid is a far cry from that -- in fact, it's not a bicycle, or even a force multiplier of any kind. It's essentially a just less-capable stunt double that eats electricity instead of food and can't heal itself. Which brings into question the nature of what actually is supposed to be "developed" in the first place and how those developers expect to be compensated... ie generalized skills? Speciality (SME) skills? Integrations with Gmail, et al? If that's the case... what does the $25,000 (my assumed final cost to consumers after taxes and other fees/accessories) ACTUALLY BUY YOU? Am I supposed to be willing to pay an extra monthly fee to access individual skills - like doing the laundry or loading the dishwasher, because they did a rev-share deal with some developers to teach it those skills? And what about loading the dishwasher? An Additionally, the move feels both like a) a direct pivot away from retail customers, b) a tacit admission that there is no real consumer demand for humanoid robots, and c) an acknowledgement that the World Model doesn't really work at all yet. Because if it did, I'd expect a $25K humanoid to come with most of the the generalized skills of an average 8 year old human (I have one of those already pours his own nightly zyrtec, helps load the dishwasher, and helps with laundry btw). So in the end, I just don't know what developers can be expected to sell. My assumption, sadly, is that this isn't actually about developing anything -- it's about putting off as long as possible the moment everyone's actually afraid of: Actually going to market anything. Which brings me to my ultimate point: If you look carefully, I think you might notice a pattern here: Name an audience. Raise money on hype. Set a deadline for g2m. Build a prototype. Approach deadline. Announce a major breakthrough that unlocks a new audience. Raise even more money on more hype. Set a deadline for g2m. Build a prototype. Approach deadline... "I see what you mean," you might say. "But what's the problem?" To that, I might simply reply "You know what the problem is." Time to start thinking about doing something really different, before it's too late, if you ask me. But maybe this is exactly what they intended all along? PS: I think they could get funded. But imo, that would just create some very angry investors who end up paying $1B+ to see later what I already see now.

George Cheng (@MrGeorgeCheng) reportedOne malicious link made Copilot silently drain connected Gmail and Drive accounts. Microsoft took months to fix it, server side, invisible to every customer. The lesson is not that AI is unsafe. It is that you cannot audit a black box you rent.

Architect🛡️ (@Architect9000) reportedMCP design is hugely underappeciated. Optimizing both the shape and implementation of tools can yield incredible cost and performance improvements. Treating MCP as a thin API wrapper is a terrible mental model. Codependent, optional, or too many tool parameters lead to false negatives. Poor server and tool descriptions thwart the agent's tool selection reasoning step. Lack of normalization transfers deterministic work on the API side into nondeterministic work for the agent. High quality error responses are nearly as important as the success case. I recently experimented with tool response Large Result Offloading and saw token consumption drop by nearly 30% in data-rich applications. For agentic workloads, input tokens are like throwing a pebble in a pond. The original token cost is multiplied by cacheability and compaction concerns later. Just a little more thoughtfulness in MCP design can dramatically improve tool success rate and token efficiency, especially for complex surfaces. I could design a Gmail MCP that would drop costs by 50% versus a generic wrapper. And since the tool layer is a common abstraction point, the gains compound across an entire organization.

Cody via (@CVia10388) reportedJust got @bot for the administrative side of my company. Very impressed and fairly easy to use for the average person. The only thing I had problems with was linking it to my quickbooks. There is no plugin (as of now hopefully) and when I tried to give it access through its browser, it was flagged and didnt allow it to sign in. I also couldn't get into my outlook email account. My Gmail worked perfectly.

Ven Venkata | Email Marketing (@0Venkata) reportedA 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.

LeadAce — Autonomous sales for Claude Code (@leadace_so) reported16 out of 16 direct sends pass DMARC alignment after the fix. But 15 of 33 forwarded copies fail on the same day. info@ that forwards to a founder's Gmail breaks the DKIM signature, and the sender cannot do anything about it.

Daniel Jeffries (@Dan_Jeffries1) reported@mattcassinelli The biggest problem I didn't cover in the article is freaking integrations. All this SaaS was built as an old gated world. You have to jump through so many painful hoops to offer this stuff seamlessly to people, which is why places like Composio and PipeDream and OpenConnect exist and charge access fees. Take Google. If you want to offer deep access to Google services in a commericial, with just two features (Drive read access and email send in Gmail) you have to go through a secuirty audit every year, and get approval from them, etc. That's just so you can connect to Gmail in one click. Pure computer use that just runs the browser perfectly doesn't exist yet and there is no "I authed to X service and now can do whatever I can do with my paid account, but as an agent now" for most services. For some, but not for many. Agents exist in a world of walls that were deliberately built.

Michael (@singletary) reportedDoes anyone have the new AI Inbox on @gmail working properly? I just constantly get the "Couldn't load your AI Inbox" error, saying "There was a temporary problem getting your to-dos and topics" but it's been like this for days. Clicking the "Retry" button makes it look like it's actually doing something but ultimately gets stuck at "Still updating - check back soon..." If I refresh Gmail it goes back to the couldn't load your AI Inbox error. Same issues both on the web and Gmail app. I have a @GeminiApp AI Plus plan. I've tried toggling Google Workspace smart features off and back on. I've tried turning off the "AI Inbox:" setting in Gmail's Inbox tab off and on. Nothing has fixed it.

Tyler Keehner (@STFUnion) reportedFirst 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.

Victory or Death 🇺🇸 (@IncognitoMeems) reportedHackers 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.

lacroiz (@aderemi_haruna) reportedMe: “I lost my phone at a restaurant in Dallas.”I called it. A guy answered on the second ring. Man: “Yeah I found it. Meet me by the front doors.”I thanked him. He handed it to me in the parking lot. Black iPhone. My blue case. My beach wallpaper. Everything looked normal.I went home.That night at 11:42pm, I got a text from my bank. New device login: Chrome on Windows.I changed my password immediately. Then I checked my Gmail. Account accessed from Denver, CO.I called the restaurant. Manager: “Let me pull the cameras.”

Om Patel (@om_patel5) reportedtop 13 ways to use grok bot to automate your life as a founder each bot gets its own browser, terminal and logins, so it does the work inside your real tools 1\ customer support > user sends a vague complaint > the bot opens your live app > reproduces it in the ui > records the steps > files the ticket with real repro instructions > hands it to claude code to fix, pushes to **** 2\ the inbox > reads every thread overnight > answers the easy ones off your knowledge base and sends them > books the calls straight into your calendar > chases anyone who ghosted you 3 days ago with follow ups > pulls anything with a deadline into a task list > flags only what actually needs you > you wake up to 4 emails instead of 90 3\ the outbound bot > pulls a lead list (e.g. apollo, sales navigator + anymail) > writes the sequence off a trigger event > sends tue wed thu at 7am their local time > replies within minutes of anyone responding > no human sdr beats a bot to speed to lead 4\ the deploy watcher > triggers on every commit > runs your signup flow in a real browser > checks the console for errors > only pings you if something broke 5\ the competitor bot > reads competitor pricing pages, changelogs and reviews off g2, capterra and trustpilot > tells you what changed the day it changes > figures out what is worth stealing for your own startup > hands claude a roadmap to ship it 6\ the reddit bot > watches every subreddit your buyers actually post in > finds people ranting about your competitors and pulls their exact words > scores who is actually ready to switch and drops the rest > takes the biggest recurring complaint and hands claude code the fix > ships it, then drafts the dm quoting the post that caused it > their complaint becomes your feature and their customer 7\ the content bot > watches what is trending in your niche every morning before you wake up > finds the posts already going viral and writes your angle on the same idea > drafts in your voice off your last 50 posts, not generic ai slop > cuts one long post into a thread, a linkedin version, a tiktok script and a newsletter > schedules it all and posts at the times your account actually performs > reads the analytics after and writes more of whatever won > being 3 days late to a trend is not late, this makes you 3 hours early 8\ the seo and gseo bot > logs into search console and pulls what you rank for on page 2 > finds the queries you get impressions on with no clicks, those are free wins > writes the post, publishes it, then checks a week later if it moved > rewrites the losers instead of adding more posts > checks whether chatgpt, claude, gemini and perplexity actually cite you for your money keywords > fixes the schema and llms.txt when they don't > the whole loop runs without you opening an editor 9\ the money bot > pulls invoices out of gmail and reconciles them > chases the unpaid ones on a schedule until they pay > flags every subscription you forgot you were paying for > watches stripe for failed payments and emails the customer before they churn > tells you your runway without you opening a spreadsheet 10\ the hiring and admin bot > posts the job and screens the inbound against your criteria > books the interviews around your calendar > onboards new hires, files the paperwork, sets up their accounts > handles the renewals, filings and deadlines you always find out about late 11\ the no api bot > clicks through tools that never shipped an api > stripe dashboard, app store connect, search console, your bank > whatever ancient portal your supplier makes you log into > pulls the numbers out and emails or slacks them to you > this is the part mcp cannot do for you 12\ the chief of staff > you talk to one bot instead of twelve > it decides which bot owns the job and hands it off > they message each other and share context in a group chat > support finds a bug, engineering fixes it, marketing writes the changelog > you stop being the router between your own tools 13\ teach by demonstration > record yourself doing a task once > it saves the steps as a routine > runs on a schedule or on a trigger from then on > every annoying 20 minute job you do weekly becomes a thing that already happened every bot you make shares the same computer, same browser sessions, same logins. xai says outright not to treat them as separate security boundaries so keep the money moves manual no bot moves funds, deletes anything or changes pricing without you confirming

Idris | Email Marketing (@IdrisEcom_email) reportedA 30% open rate is not a subject line problem. I keep seeing brands rewrite subject lines for months while the actual issue sits one tab over. Opened this account and checked deliverability by mailbox provider... Gmail: 16%. Apple: 16%. Outlook and Hotmail: landing in spam. No subject line survives that. You could write the best line of your career and 84% of Gmail would never see it. Most "email isn't working" problems are deliverability problems wearing a copywriting costume. Action step: Open one campaign. Open your deliverability tab and look at open rate by provider. If one is dramatically below the others, stop optimizing copy and go fix inboxing first.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedOpen 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.

shmidt (@shmidtqq) reportedWhile 99% still dictate prompts into a chat window, I've been running this in production for 11 days. Clocked it: 30+ hours of weekly routine now off my plate On August 11, xAI (now under the SpaceXAI banner) shipped Grok Bot. Nobody caught the hype because beta was gated behind SuperGrok Heavy at $300/mo. On August 21 they quietly opened it up for SuperGrok Plus, Cursor Pro+ and rolled out a free trial. Window, before this gets crowded This is not a chatbot. It's an architecture: you give each agent a login to real services (Gmail, CRM, Notion, calendar), it gets its own cloud computer and runs 24/7 without you. Video above is a live runtime of my current stack: planner → scout → dedupe → cite check → writer → verify. 20 nodes, 340 edges, 631 dispatches per second. Every colored block is a separate agent with its own job How to set up before the weekend ends: Activate SuperGrok Plus or Cursor Pro+ (or start the free trial, it's capped on compute). App runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone. Android still tagged "coming soon" Give your first Bot a login to ONE service only. Start with email, ROI shows up on day one Don't write a prompt. Write a task like you'd DM a coworker: "sweep the inbox every 2 hours, drafts for important ones go to me, spam to archive" Walk the Bot through the process once by hand. It saves the workflow as a routine and schedules it on its own. This isn't prompt engineering, it's delegation Spin up 3-5 Bots by role: sales, ops, research, inbox, calendar. They share context in group threads, one pulls the intel, another uses it immediately Five minutes to set up, from there your job is approval, not execution Full breakdown with my prompt templates per agent and beta bug list, in the article. Save it, Bloomberg dropped a launch note on day one but nobody has published the actual playbook yet

Ayush Ray (@Aaayush_Ray) reported1/5 The Journey of an Email 📧 When we press Send, Gmail doesn't simply send the email directly to our friend. Instead, the email goes through several systems before reaching the inbox. The journey: Sender → Gmail → DNS → Recipient Mail Server → Inbox The recipient's mail server stores the email until the recipient connects and checks their inbox. Email uses a store-and-forward architecture — messages are stored by mail servers and delivered asynchronously.

Nick Losciuto (@thedogfather) reported@liorsela Most AIs can do any of the one-time things people are mentioning above. Don't listen to low-functioning people; there are great uses for anyone with systems in their life. It's recurring issues where bot shines. Set up an Email Bot: Attach plugins for Gmail/Outlook, etc. so it always has acces w/o two factor auth. Instructions: Search for any high priority new messages related to AWS alarms or server issues. Create a bot that specializes in coding/development/security and hand off any potential problems for research and implement fixes where my discretion shouldn't be necessary and clear the alarms. For any severe or important issues discovered, alert me immediately by push notification and SMS. Or for everyday use make a Shopping Bot: Review my purchases in my Costco/Walmart/Amazon/XYZ store for any groceries I have purchased. Send me reminders twice a week on things I may be getting low on by estimated time of life of each item purchased. When I text you to buy cereal and protein bars, always shop for the items I have purchased prior so no new searching is necessary. Add those items to cart and get my approval, then place the order.
