  @lingxi @bot To be more specific, using the Gmail connector bot has huge trouble sending multiple screenshots from app he just made to my own Gmail. I thing he could make an app for doing this 10 times in the time it took him to use Gmail to do it (unsuccessfuly).

  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.

  AI agents are getting more capable. The conversation is shifting from “can they do work?” to “how do we keep them on-script?” For email, that means dedicated inboxes, scoped access, approval flows, and prompt-injection scanning. Not a shared Gmail login. #AIAgents #GrokBot #BuildinPublic

  Your business can be doing real work with real clients and still lose a prospect tonight because they searched your name and found an old number, an empty Instagram, and a personal Gmail address. They won't tell you. They'll just go quiet. We fix that at ORAC Partners.

  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.

Pauses at login, payment, or a decision it should not make alone. 7-day trial on all plans. Opened HN stamp: 19 hours ago on September 1, 55 points, 47 comments. Product Hunt: launched this week, 211 followers, 3.0 from 1 review. No rank on that page. No dollars on the homepage I opened. I did not connect Gmail. Not Runway's agent. Would you text a computer work, or keep a tab open to watch it?

  I 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 :)

  @deboochatterjee @TutaPrivacy My post was not a commentary on whether to turn off smart features in Gmail. It was a commentary on the ridiculous statement that "privacy is overrated. If you don't have anything to hide then you shouldn't worry about it." It's your attitude that "privacy is overrated" that has allowed companies to get as far as they have, and it's that attitude which will allow us to continue to slide down the slippery slope we're on. "Two out of our three doors are unlocked" is not solved by unlocking the third; it's solved by locking the other two.

  @Jaywash_1NFT @Cointelegraph @Yubico Yubikey is a security key that's acts as MFA for accounts such as Gmail, social media accounts, etc, it can't be used with Hardware wallets, unless there is an account login where you sign up with email or phone number and password. Most hardware wallets are not compatible with security keys because they simple don't require it as the hardware wallet acts as the authenticatior in that situation.

  Founders think BFCM prep starts in November By then it’s already too late Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook don’t judge your emails on Black Friday. They judge you on what you’ve been doing in the weeks leading up to it The emails you send this month decide whether your November campaigns land in the inbox or rot in spam If you email subscribers who open and click, better placement, more opens, better reputation. The loop pays you If you blast a full list that mostly ignores you, promotions tab, then spam, then a reputation that keeps sliding. The loop bleeds you By the time Black Friday hits, the loop is already locked. You can’t fix it in a weekend What to actually do this month: → Send only to subscribers who opened or clicked in the last 90 days → If above 40% open rate ibcrease to 120 days if less decrease to 60 days → Exclude Marked as spam, unsubscribed, dropped and suppressed atleast once overall time. → Keep sending consistently 3-4 a week, 80% designed, 20% plain text →Clean your list every 2 weeks Black Friday is won in the weeks most founders spend ignoring email

  The uncomfortable truth. Google and Microsoft have spent the last decade building the two most complete free productivity ecosystems in history. Word processing. Spreadsheets. Presentations. Email. Cloud storage. Video calls. Notes. Tasks. Projects. Forms. Websites. AI. Messaging. Calendar. PDF tools. Every category. Both companies. Free. And yet the average knowledge worker pays $80-$150/month for third-party apps that duplicate what these ecosystems already provide because Google markets Gmail and Microsoft markets Word, and neither company tells you about the other 28 tools sitting behind the same login. That’s not an accident. Google doesn’t make money when you use Google Keep. They make money when you use Gmail and Keep keeps you in Gmail longer. Microsoft doesn’t make money when you use To Do for free. They make money when your company sees you using To Do and buys Microsoft 365 Business for the entire organization. The free tools are loss leaders. They exist to acquire users, not to generate revenue. And because they’re loss leaders, neither company promotes them aggressively. You don’t see Google Keep on a billboard. You don’t see Microsoft Planner in a Super Bowl ad. The free tools are invisible by design because the business model works whether you find them or not. Meanwhile, 9 separate companies Notion, Zoom, Dropbox, Slack, Todoist, Grammarly, Adobe, Trello, and OpenAI charge you monthly for products that are often inferior versions of what Google and Microsoft give away. They survive because the free alternatives are invisible. Their entire business model depends on you not knowing that two companies already built what they’re selling. “You have two accounts. You’ve had them for years. Between them, they contain every productivity tool you need free. You’ve been paying $1,644/year for 9 apps that duplicate what your Gmail login and your Microsoft login already provide. The tools were never hidden. They were just never advertised. And 9 companies have been billing you monthly hoping they never would be.” One weekend. 9 apps canceled. $1,644/year back. The accounts were always free. The tools were always there. You just never opened them.

  Flaxen Media (@flaxen_media) reported 44 minutes ago

  @markdmei List size itself isn’t the problem. Uncontrolled sending is. A 100K list can outperform a 30K list all day long if the brand is actively managing engagement, segmentation, suppression and sending behavior. Where brands get into trouble is when they treat every subscriber like they have the same intent. Someone who purchased 7 days ago, someone who clicked yesterday, and someone who hasn’t opened anything in 300 days should not be receiving the same campaign frequency. And this gets even more important as you scale paid acquisition. You can spend heavily on Meta/Google, acquire thousands of new emails every month, and still watch email revenue flatten because your overall sender reputation is deteriorating underneath the growth. For the DTC brands we work with, I’d rather see: → Smaller, more engaged campaign audiences → Aggressive segmentation based on recent behavior → Proper sunset/suppression logic → Flows doing more of the lifecycle work → Different sending frequencies for different engagement tiers → List growth measured alongside revenue per recipient, not just subscriber count One thing I’d slightly disagree with is the idea that the ESP simply “decides” to deliver fewer emails. The bigger issue is that Gmail, Yahoo and other mailbox providers continuously evaluate your sending reputation and recipient engagement. Your ESP gives you the infrastructure, but the inbox ultimately decides where you land. So yes — 30K genuinely engaged subscribers can absolutely be worth more than 80K mixed-quality contacts.
