  @bot @bot i have been waiting for five days for Customer service to resolve a sync issue. I signed up mainly for GrokBot but have been unable to use it because it tries to sync my cursor to my Gmail account which is attached to my Apple account which is how my grok account logged in.

  It's crazy how everyone is praising Grok Bot, but let me be the annoying person who tells you why it still kinda sucks. 1. The actual capabilities of agents are not novel. Most of the demos I've seen can already be done with Hermes and similar setups, often with smarter models and more control. The difference is that Grok Bot gives you everything out of the box ,without setup and wiring things together. 2. The agent itself is still pretty weak. The UX makes you want to delegate ambitious tasks to it, but the underlying model/agent doesn't always live up to that promise. It takes dumb paths, burns through context/tokens surprisingly fast, and needs more babysitting than the "AI employee" framing suggests. Also, there's no native X search which is especially funny for a product coming from (you have x_search on @grok but not on @bot which needs to use x connection and burn credits). 3. The security model deserves way more attention. All your Bots share the same computer, including files, cookies, browser sessions, and logins. So once you start logging into Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, internal dashboards, etc., a prompt injection or compromised webpage suddenly has a much bigger blast radius. Well, these were the main issues I had with grok bot (apart from smaller issues like absence of read aloud) and why I stick with hermes. But on the other hand, the product is genuinely good, and this is why.

  @SmugAlana Honestly get rid of Gmail. Move to something like proton, somehow noticed friends have less issues with account security when they moved their emails from Gmail.

  @discord account is DOA for a while until i can get access to my gmail again. Waiting on @TeamYouTube to help. Sadly it looks like the thief has taken the youtube account down as well. How in the hell are people still have to take accounts with multiple levels of 2fa?

  xAI just handed Grok Bots the right to read, write, and act inside your Microsoft accounts. The timeline is fighting about whether that is safe. The real story is a single permission scope that almost nobody clicked through to read. Grok's Outlook connector asks for two things at sign-in: Mail.ReadWrite and Mail.Send. Full send authority from the first Accept. Grok's Gmail connector, by comparison, starts read-only and only earns send access when you turn it on. Read that again. The Microsoft account got the more permissive default. That is not a footnote. That is the exact line where an assistant becomes an employee. Now look at the screenshot everyone scrolled past. A left sidebar of named workers. Schedule Manager. Inbox digest. Bug triage. Expense digest. Launch post. That is not a chat window. That is a staff directory. First. The unit of AI work stopped being the prompt. You are not typing questions into a box, you are assigning roles to a roster. The interface is an org chart wearing the skin of a messaging app. Second. The permission is the product. For two years the bottleneck was never capability, it was trust. A model that drafts a flawless email but cannot send it is a brilliant intern who still needs you to press the button. Mail.Send deletes the button. The value was never in the draft. It was always in the authority to act without you standing there. Third. Each bot runs on its own cloud computer that keeps working after you log off. Persistence changes the verb. A tool waits for you. An employee works while you sleep. The 9:41 AM digest in that screenshot is a report on labor done in the hours the user was gone. Fourth. OneDrive and SharePoint access is gated to Business and Enterprise tiers, and setup routes through an Azure admin consent. xAI is not selling you a chatbot. It is selling your IT department a workforce. The Copilot war will not be won on model quality. It will be won at the admin approval screen. Fifth. The skill this rewards is not prompting. It is delegation. Deciding which bot gets Mail.Send and which stays read-only. Knowing what "make it 45 min instead" means when a human types it to a manager instead of a machine. The person in that screenshot is not a user. He is running a standup. The model can already do the work. The only decision left is what you sign it the authority to do without asking you first. That was never a prompting problem. It is a management one.

  @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

  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

  @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).

  @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

  @JakeLandauTO I'm always puzzled when people say this, because don't you have a work email? If you work for some weird place that doesn't provide one, I'd create a Gmail one just for work. And in both case, you shouldn't look at it when you're not working. You're no CEO here.

  @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

  Unsubscribe is them walking out. Spam is them telling the building you're a problem. Unsub hurts a dashboard. Spam hurts the next 10,000 people. Keep blasting people who already wanted out and Gmail starts taking their side. One-click leave. Stop mailing people who never wanted this cadence. I'd rather they walk out than burn the building.

  10. Check Your Login Devices Regularly 👀 Check your account activity at least once a month. Look for unknown devices or login sessions on Facebook, Gmail, WhatsApp, and other important accounts. See something suspicious? Log it out immediately.

  Nvm YouTube link is broken, so guess that means it’s not ‘contact us’ anymore..but ‘contact me’ now Meaning that email from that Gmail account wasn’t her saying all that. She also doesn’t talk like how the email was written either, so it’s more to show someone else still won’t let go of her
