Mat Velloso (@matvelloso) reportedHey @madebygoogle, found the root cause: Your August update broke the magnification shortcut: With that enabled the scroll gesture becomes flaky, misfires and fires backwards. Disabling it makes it go away. I can repro that in 3 different devices. You can repro it in most apps if you try to scroll fast enough: Gmail and Instagram in particular. Also: Please fix your support. That was a massive waste of time. Thanks.

Altor (@GoldDelacr86694) reported@TeamYouTube My channel got terminated by KGH media and got 10 copyright strike from them, even though my video is heavy edited and followed the fair use and they just falsely claim the video that they don't even owned. They simply repost videos they do not own and claim rights over them and they just lists clips in a library and may still find the same clips on other channels/platforms. They continue to claim rights to videos they didn't create and which the creators have clearly stated that KGH Media does not own the rights to. And there's Multiple posters compare KGH's tactics to known copyright-troll patterns (demanding fees, aggressive takedowns) Even if i email them to remove the copyright strike, they will demand me for $250 to $500, and I will not going do it because, people reported it that they pay them and there channel is still terminated and not removed the strike, Please i need your help, they are abusing it without any consequences. I did what you said to me that, but my channel was not even in there anymore, I tried to scroll down and up but I can’t see my channel, This is the gmail of my channel and my channel is not in here anymore, only my brand accounts You said that you take this copyright trolls very seriously but it’s been almost 2 weeks and still no update or any actions I’ve been waiting for you DM for a long time but still no update

SanguineX (@Sanguine_Hood) reported@msrasberi @GenXspeakUP @proamericapol You showed literally nothing. Why would someone sign in onto his own gmail account (on someone else’s phone) before doing a search to kill? You restarted or something?

Richard de los Santos (@ZeusRadls) reported@atmoio Grok Bot is wild. For fun I had it review and fix my LinkedIn page. It asked me some questions and went to the page and made the edits in its local browser. It will now respond to people and pass along useful connections to me. I asked it to push a local Grok Build project to GitHub. It found the project folder fixed some issues and pushed it to GitHub. I asked it clean up my downloads folder. It did it instantly. I asked it to review and clean up my old Gmail account. It went through thousands of old emails. Wiped out my quota doing it, but it was insanely easy. I activated the 𝕏 connector and had it advise me on my 𝕏 activity. It told me to stop positing garbage and clean up my act (basically). I need new tires so I asked Grok Bot to create an agent to monitor prices and let me know when a deal comes up. The list goes on…

emanuel rudas (@emanuel_rudas) reported@TeamYouTube account associated with this Channel ID. Unfortunately, none of our known Google accounts has access to this channel. So the issue is not recovering my known Gmail account – I need help identifying the recovery path for the Google account that owns Channel ID 2/

I GOT BANNED (@Abd_samad03) reported@FiverrSupport I reached out via Gmail regarding an issue with my withdrawal, but I haven’t received a response yet. Could a human support agent please review my case and assist me? I’d really appreciate a prompt response.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedChatGPT agents can finally get past the login screen. That was the wall for years. Every time an agent hit your CRM, your ad dashboard, or your invoicing tool, it stopped dead at the password field. Here's how it works now. It runs on a cloud computer, not your machine. Your tabs, cookies, and passwords are untouched. When it hits a login, it stops and shows you a form. You type it yourself. OpenAI says the model never sees it. Then it keeps working, even if you close the app or shut your laptop. There's more nobody is covering. It can now fire on a trigger. A new Gmail message, a new Slack message, a new pull request. It starts working with no prompt from you. And you can hand a whole task to a teammate. They connect their own apps and run their own copy. Days ago the docs said the cloud browser would never accept logins. Now it does. Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

آلیس در سرزمین حقایق (@khargiush) reportedHey 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.

Kaden M. (@kadenm37_l) reportedYour AI first line is a spam signal. "Congrats on the Series A" tells Gmail one thing: template. Prospects smell it too. Relevance is knowing their problem. Personalization is knowing their dog's name. Fight me.

Sahil Patel (@sahildotcom) reportedthis was spot on from @friedberg on this week’s @theallinpod and is part of the reason why some beaten-down SaaS stocks ripped this week vibe coding makes it easier than ever to build a tool that gets you 95% of the way there, but I’ve heard from so many teams who get stuck on the last 5% - spending more and more time trying to fix bugs, and eventually let the project fall off everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. do you really want your team spending that time maintaining software that isn’t core to the unique value you deliver to customers? and what happens when the person who built it leaves, gets fired, changes roles, or simply doesn’t have time to keep supporting something the rest of the company now relies on? when you pay for SaaS, you’re also paying for someone else to fix the bugs, keep adding features, provide support and make sure the product continues to work.. and the ROI on that will often be far greater than the money you save by building and maintaining it yourself here’s what Friedberg said as he was talking about his vibe coding journey, which eventually led to his company switching to Salesforce - landing him an invite to be on the $CRM earnings call with @Benioff: “We started building all these internal tools and eventually realized our time, our efforts, our energy is better spent building the workflows that are unique and create value for our organization uniquely versus recreating a bunch of software that other people have already made. Where’s your best ROI, your best return on time spent and your best return on dollars spent? It’s not on rebuilding a communications tool like Slack or a messaging tool like Gmail or a CRM tool like Salesforce.”

dewey intern (@trydeweyai) reportedThe browser acts alone now. Dewey Pulse #13 @AnthropicAI made Claude in Chrome generally available on every paid plan. Claude can click, type, and fill forms across tabs without asking for each step. A safety classifier checks the action against what you asked for before it runs. You can turn that auto-approve off. @Google shipped agent work into Gemini Live. Say a messy idea out loud and Spark can turn it into a Docs outline while you keep walking. Ask "What's my daily brief?" and you get a spoken digest of Gmail and Calendar. You can star, archive, or delete mail hands-free. Google also put Gemini 3.5 Transcribe into the Gemini macOS app and Rambler on Android. It cleans filler words, handles "Tuesday, no, Wednesday," and can talk to type. Artificial Analysis measured a 2.6% word error rate on non-streaming audio. Chrome talk-to-type is coming.

Umar (@umzrs) reportedPromotions tab is a death sentence for your emails. 8-9 figure brands aren't clicking send and hoping for the best. They're guaranteeing inbox placement using tools like Maverick, MailMend, and Zaymo's inbox booster. All three do the same thing: they add a block of code to your emails that forces them into the Primary tab instead of Promotions. Why this matters more than most brands realize: An email in Promotions competes with 50 other brand offers the customer will never scroll through. An email in Primary sits next to messages from their mom and their boss. The attention quality is completely different. Primary tab emails get significantly higher open rates, more clicks, and most importantly, more replies. Those replies signal to Gmail that your emails are wanted, which trains the algorithm to keep routing you to Primary on every future send. Most brands spend thousands on copywriters and designers to improve email performance while 60% of their list never even sees the email in the first place. Fix where it lands before you fix what it says.

Tony Tong | Founder | Ancient Systems x AI (@tonytonggg) reported@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.

Kairo (@kairo_leg) reportedMost people use GrokBot like ChatGPT with extra steps. The ones getting real work out of it treat it like a company. A SpaceX-adjacent builder just walked through nine hacks that do not require you to be technical. First move: stop dumping random tasks. Run Grill Me. The skill interviews you relentlessly until the bot actually understands the business, the quarter, and the goal. Then every other agent inherits that context. Second: talk to one person. Name a Chief of Staff. Klaus, in his case. Klaus is the only bot he messages. Before doing anything, it checks which specialist owns the job and delegates. Motion makes the graphics. Eyes does research. Coffee plans the morning. Views owns content strategy. Third: after Grill Me, ask the Chief of Staff to design the rest of the team. It will tell you what not to add. No second chief. No generic helper. Add the roles that actually compound. Fourth: split the memory on purpose. Shared knowledge is who you are, where you work, the funnel, and that Composio is how you reach YouTube, LinkedIn, and Perplexity. Private notes stay with Klaus. If one reply is gold, start a thread on it instead of burying it in the main chat. Fifth: when GrokBot does not have the plugin, connect Composio. Hundreds of apps the native marketplace still misses. Sixth: log the work. A simple skill writes every task into ClickUp with owner, status, notes, and a link. You can see Eyes via Klaus researching voice providers without opening five chats. Seventh: if the job is visual, record your screen. It watches you search, click, save, log in. Then it turns the recording into a reusable skill. Eighth: turn the repeats into routines. Hourly, daily, or on a Slack or *** event. They keep running in the cloud after your phone is face down. Ninth: save the browser profile on the agent computer. Log into School, Gmail, whatever once. The bot uses that session. No passwords pasted in chat. Role. Tools. Skill. Routine. Team. The catch is the same as hiring a human. New bots still need context. Would you rather keep prompting a box, or build a desk that works while you sleep? #GrokBot #xAI #Grok

Fabian | AI Agency & SaaS (@fabianherh) reported2/ So this week I tried Grok Bot. Pretty damn good. Easy to use, which is rarer than it should be. Wouldn't let me connect Gmail. The app just gets blocked on the connect screen. That's the job. Try the thing. Hit the stupid error. Find out what's actually ready.

Mr Market (@dogreadsnews) reported@shiplogged @shirshakchavan Not quite there yet. Too many basic integration issues but we are getting closer. Grok Bot spent all afternoon adding basic images to Gmail for me. It got there in the end but it isn't slick. Not ready to run a business IMO. But closer.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedCHATGPT WORK JUST REMOVED ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLOCKERS IN AI AUTOMATION. The login screen used to kill the workflow. Now the agent can keep going. What changed: → ChatGPT Work runs inside a separate cloud-based browser → When login is required, you enter the credentials yourself → OpenAI says the model doesn't see or store your username/password → After authentication, the agent resumes the task What this unlocks: ✓ Persistent authenticated sessions using cookies ✓ Background work even after you close the app ✓ Webhook triggers from Gmail, Slack, and GitHub ✓ Shared tasks your team or clients can copy and run ✓ Site Tools/WebMCP for more direct website interaction The practical shift: ChatGPT isn't just answering questions anymore. It can research, navigate apps, pull data, create deliverables, and continue multi-step workflows while you're doing something else. That's a much more useful definition of an AI "agent."

Amin (@eCom_Amin) reportedevery untapped google ads strategy i know, from easiest to most degenerate most brands are running maybe two of these 1. the low-friction front end offer. free trial or a cheap intro product on your shopping listing while every competitor shows a $40 price tag. wins the click on price perception, then upsells into bundles and subscription rebills on the back end. lumin does $1M/mo on this exact structure 2. sending search traffic to advertorials instead of product pages. cold CVR roughly doubles in every niche i've tested it 3. sending SHOPPING traffic to a comparison page for high-consideration products. everyone assumes shopping goes straight to the PDP. for anything above $150 AOV it doesn't have to 4. quiz funnels on demand gen traffic. each question is a micro-commitment. by question five they're invested enough that leaving feels like abandoning something 5. native ads. discover feed, gmail promotions, MSN placements. they look like content, so the scepticism reflex never fires. CTRs run 2-5x standard display 6. VSLs and long-form sales copy for high ticket. the depth itself signals authority 7. conquest campaigns on competitor brand names, pointed at a comparison page 8. bing. same campaigns, one-click import, 20-40% lower CPCs, older and wealthier buyer now the one almost nobody outside europe knows about: > double CSS on shopping normally your store enters the shopping auction through ONE comparison shopping service. one route, one placement opportunity per search connect through two CSS providers and google now has two separate routes for your products to enter the same auction so a shopping row that looked like: competitor, competitor, you, competitor becomes: you, competitor, you, competitor > and the part that makes CSS genuinely broken google shopping europe deducts a fixed margin from your bid BEFORE it enters the auction. roughly 20%. independent CSS partners don't have that margin bid €1.00 through google shopping, about €0.80 competes. bid €1.00 through an independent CSS, the full €1.00 competes same invoice. ~25% more auction power this exists because the european commission forced google to open the auction after the antitrust ruling DM me "EDGE" if you want these built into your account amin
