Patrick Lu (@lightninglu10) reported@jjacky Yes, very easy. Use Google cloud, add Gmail api, add Gmail mcp or equivalent, may require you to add the secret json somewhere, oauth and login, but now ai has your inbox. If you want to give the agent its own inbox, just do the same thing

a (@adidogCEO) reportedand as we continue to see retail adoption events, the less crypto becomes crypto ppl don't want to know what is under the hood, they just want it to work they don't want to remember seeds, private keys, or even use a wallet address to signin they just want to login with gmail and have it work and they are not fee-sensitive as long as its not exorbitant cheap and fast doesn't matter as long as it is cheap and fast enough

Pers (@0xPerser) reportedGave Grok Bot a real assignment: run parts of my business like an actual employee, not a chatbot answering questions. First mistake, immediately corrected. I almost had it spin up its own Gmail account — Google's already catching and disabling Gmail accounts created by agents like this. Switched to AgentMail instead, since it's already a listed plugin in Grok Bot's browser. OAuth, three minutes, 24 email tools live and working. For payments, Stripe has a live MCP server — the agent can create customers, issue invoices, run transactions, all through plain language, no custom integration built by hand. Before any of it touched something real, I wrote the rules first. What it's allowed to read. What it's allowed to send. What it's allowed to spend, and the exact caps. What needs my approval before it happens. One command that shuts the whole thing down if I need it gone. Passport first. Rules second. Never the other order. The mistake almost everyone makes isn't giving an agent too much access. It's giving it access before the rules exist to contain it.

lasan (@las_nish) reportedComparisons of Free Trial Abuse Prevention Services If you're running a SaaS with a free trial or focusing on PLG, authentication and abuse prevention are not the same problem. - WorkOS: If you're already using WorkOS, WorkOS Radar is probably the first thing I'd look at. For a WorkOS stack, WorkOS AuthKit + Radar makes the most sense. You don't need to bolt another authentication system onto your app just to get abuse signals. - Auth0, Supabase Auth, Better Auth: These are primarily identity/authentication platforms. Integrating only these can't prevent free trial abuse. - Custom: Like the previous options, you need a custom way to prevent free trial abuse. Most free trial abuse methods involve disposable emails, Google dot variations, Google/Gmail domain variations, and plus addressing. That's why even when you block bots via Cloudflare Turnstile or CAPTCHA, you can still get these abusers. The industry standards: - Block free trial abuse using lists hosted on GitHub: This is a pain in the ***. If you don't want to pay money, you can use a service that offers a generous free tier. - WorkOS Radar: This is mainly used at the enterprise level. They focus more on WorkOS-related integrations rather than integrations with other providers. - ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, MillionVerifier, DeBounce: These are mainly used to clean/validate emails. There are 100s of alternatives, and most are similar with minor differences. They all have disposable email checking APIs. - UserCheck: This is also an email validation API, but they focus on blocking fake email addresses. It's better than a basic email verification API. - Autheona: This is in the same category as WorkOS Radar and UserCheck, but with more features. It also focuses on fake user detection and is growing with a real user base. Now, pricing: - WorkOS Radar: First 1,000 checks free, then $100 per 50 checks. No application-specific logic changes. Easy to integrate and manage. - ZeroBounce: 100 free validations in the free tier, then pay-as-you-go, starting at 2,000 for $39, and so on. - NeverBounce: No free trial or use case, $8 per 1,000 checks. - UserCheck: 1,000 API requests per month in the free plan. The rule-based engine is not included in the free plan, and you can get up to 1 request per second. - Autheona: 3,000 checks per month, with the rule-based policy engine included. Standard API request rate limitations apply, similar to paid plans. Now, use cases: - WorkOS Radar: Block disposable emails, plus addressing, and Google dot variations. - ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, etc.: Block disposable emails. - UserCheck: Block disposable emails, plus addressing, and Google dot variations; detect public emails; email suggestions; syntax validation; role detection. - Autheona: Everything included in UserCheck, plus business/free/government email identification, deliverability checks, fraud patterns, punycode and mixed-script checks, VPN detection, and bot detection (not necessary if you already use CAPTCHA, Cloudflare, etc.). Final decision from me: - Use WorkOS Radar if you're already in the WorkOS ecosystem. It's harder to integrate with other auth providers. - Use ZeroBounce-like APIs if you need basic disposable email checks. They're not as good if you need a better free tier. - Use UserCheck if you only need email-related validation and want to stay within the free plan. - Use Autheona if you need the most generous free tier available with a custom policy engine. All services take a maximum of a few hours to integrate and test. Both UserCheck and Autheona have a similar approach: integrate once and never touch the code again.

THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot⚛️♿️#FLTG OG👴🏼#ZERORGB (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported@MisterSpace3 Yes if you don’t log in after a certain amount of time to PSN account they class as abandon. It is in ToS when sign up. I had to login recently as they email you to inform that not logged in for so long. Google do the same with Gmail accounts.

Fatih Arslan (@fatih) reportedI sent my Grok @Bot to hunt down an out-of-stock book! It couldn't find any in stock, and the only copy left was way too expensive. But since it has access to my Gmail, it just started emailing publishers and bookstores itself. They're all Turkish, so it wrote the emails in Turkish. I would spent hours on this previously, now it's minutes. Let's see how it ends up :)

RAK (@rk9712246) reported@TutaPrivacy @PeteMundo, Happy Tuesday. Based on your gmail rant yesterday I wonder if it might have been a google AI glitch vs a hacker.

Tony Tong | Founder | Ancient Systems x AI (@tonytonggg) reported@Mikadzyki_NFT Handing off a shift to a stack of workers only holds up if the plumbing actually connects. My own Nanobot instance runs on MiniMax 2.5, and getting a Composio MCP server wired in just for Gmail access ate a stubborn chunk of my week.

Robin Swanson (@robin_swanson) reported@MSFT365Status I haven't gotten emails since 9:11 AM. What are you doing to fix this issue? How are you communicating to customers? This is beyond unacceptable. Yet again a major malfunction by Microsoft. I should just switch my business email to Gmail, which has never gone down.

Shripal Gandhi (@ishripalgandhi) reportedThis 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.

Austin (@IamAroke) reported@Harshsharma836 The issue isn't really about Gmail specifically being too broad, it's the leading % in the LIKE pattern. Even a rare domain would still force the same full scan since the wildcard sits at the start

The Dr. Margaret Show (@DrMargaretShow) reported@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.

Joshua D Morrison (@JMorrison2850) reported@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.

Boomer (@accesscode305) reportedFirstly 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.

Jordan Wiens (@psifertex) reported@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.

Matt Wright (@MattWrightMCT) reportedEvery business that reaches seven or nine figures has an aha moment. Mine came two hours into day one. An aha moment is when you find the one thing that gives your business an edge. For Facebook, it was working out that a new user who made seven friends in their first ten days was unlikely to ever leave the app. So that became the only number the company chased. For Gmail, it was working out that somebody typing their password was almost certainly about to open their inbox, so they started loading it right then and killed the wait everybody else was making you sit through. At Cars4Us, it came two hours after we opened the doors, when I bought the first car and two things were obvious. Buying cars was far easier than I'd assumed it would be. And what made that bloke say yes had far more to do with how fast we moved than with the price I gave him. Everything else about us was worse. We were four people using a cheap transport company, and nobody had ever heard our name. He sold to us anyway, because we got to him first. That was the edge. Speed. I couldn't be bigger than my competitors on day one and I couldn't outspend them. But I could be the quickest, and that was the one area nobody was competing in. So the whole company got built on that. Enquire at 9:30 in the morning, inspector standing at your car by 1pm, money in your account by 4. Within 60 days we were the largest online car buying company in the country. So stop trying to be better at everything, because that's the one game every competitor in your market is already playing. Go and find what your industry is slow at, and own that instead. (And yes, I used the F1 car pick because I'm talking about speed here)

THE ADIO SEQUENCE (@theadiosequence) reported@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube The issue is the YouTube channel, not simply recovering the Google account. The Workspace account was gone for years while our channel stayed active. Our Gmail was added as Manager in 2025. The channel suddenly vanished with no notice. Can we escalate for review?

Luck (@LuckLedger) reported@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.
