  @techAU The idea is good, but in having a lot of issues with Gmail and Google Calender. It Can read Them, but the write and delete functions really dont work

  @jam_thecreator @victor_bigfield This is a strange service. To get a rating for my own service, I have to rate someone else's. But I don't have an account and can't see the connection between my new account and my SaaS account. To register, I have to create a password... There's no Gmail login button or OTP registration. Too many steps for no apparent result. Maybe I'll go through all these steps and get a response like, "You have a great startup"... but why would I need such a review?

  I vibe-coded a tool that got me 250k impressions the next day. Here's exactly how it works - and the prompt I used to build it. I used to lose 45 minutes every morning scrolling Reddit for content ideas. I asked Perplexity Computer to build me a tool that would do it for me. 2 evenings. 5 conversations. 0 code I wrote myself. Perplexity called it Reddit Radar: → Scans 20 tech subreddits at 6am → Ranks trending visuals by potential → Writes 5 hook angles per saved visual → Syncs directly into my Notion pipeline Now my morning routine is 3 minutes with a coffee. Tap through the ranked posts, save what I like, choose from the best hooks. The next morning I posted one. It did 250,000 impressions and 500+ engagements. What's wild: I never picked the stack. Perplexity Computer chose Claude Sonnet for the hook gen, React + Tailwind for the frontend, Express + SQLite for the backend, Notion API, Gmail API, a cron job, and Python to parse Reddit RSS. All by itself. When the save function broke, I screenshotted the error and sent it back. It diagnosed the issue, refactored the flow, and deployed the fix - all in one message. You don't need a content team any more. You need content systems. Full prompt + live tool + deep dive article in the comments 👇

  Claude Cowork just got 10x more powerful! Glean benchmarked centralized vs federated MCP in Claude Cowork. Same harness, same model, same queries, different context layer. The federated approach: Each data source (Gmail, Slack, Drive, Salesforce) has its own MCP server. Claude calls each one separately. That's 5-10 tool calls per query. Each source returns results with different quality and ranking. Claude over-fetches to compensate for weak search. Then it filters and synthesizes everything with LLM reasoning. Often needs retry loops when results miss. Burns 50-80k tokens per query. The centralized approach: All data from every source gets indexed into one unified layer. Knowledge graph connects entities across sources. Claude makes one MCP call. Gets back the top ranked results. No over-fetching, minimal filtering needed. Uses 42-44k tokens consistently. The results: Centralized indexing preferred 2.5x more often. Federated consumed 30% more tokens on average. When federated finally got correct answers, it burned 83k tokens vs 43k for centralized. The gap widened as tasks got more complex. Simple tasks: centralized won 66% of the time. Complex tasks: 73%. Why centralized wins: Over-fetching doesn't just cost tokens. It dilutes the context window with noise and contradictory information. Models have finite attention. Cramming 50-100 items hoping the right ones are in there doesn't work as well as getting the right 5-10 upfront. Federated search also loses cross-application signals. Things like document relationships, who authored what, and how content is used across the enterprise. These signals improve ranking but they only exist when data is indexed together in one layer. The compounding problem: In multi-step tasks, each missed or incorrect retrieval compounds. By the time you reach the final output, you're working with flawed data. More tool calls and reasoning loops don't fix this. They just burn more tokens trying to recover. You can't brute-force around bad search. More tool calls, more data fetching, more reasoning loops don't fix poor context quality. They just burn more tokens. Why this matters: Token costs are surging. Reasoning models cost more. Companies are burning through AI budgets faster. Federated search compounds the problem. Better search architecture beats more compute. I've shared the link in the replies!

  At this point I genuinely have no words. I sat down in my office to start the workday and noticed I got charged $96 for something that should’ve been refunded. I told Codex: “Use my Gmail, find where this is, and go refund it.” While I’m working, I look over at my right monitor and it’s already on the payment eligible for refund page. Refunded. I just threw my hands up. I’m almost in denial at how easy this is. This feels like alien technology giving me free money.

  @LeekBuildSoc I'm trying to open an account, but every time I email from my Gmail address, your mail server rejects it with "554 Email rejected due to security policies". It seems to work with a different email host - is there a known issue with Gmail, for future comms?

  I previously had a Google AdSense account where my ID was verified. Later, I closed it since I no longer needed it. Now I want to use AdSense again, so I created a new Gmail and set up a new account. If I use the same ID again for verification, will there be issues? @TeamYouTube

  @ProgenticEngine @hiarun02 @thsottiaux so you started to pay for gmail usage or whatsapp usage and don't see the problem, because you want more you pay more, like a capitalist cheerleader. 🤡

  r/Entrepreneur asked "what's the most unhinged AI automation you've seen that somehow works?" and the answers are insane. someone automated their entire customer support with GPT and a gmail filter. another guy has AI writing his cold emails, scheduling meetings, AND following up. zero human touch. closing deals. meanwhile i'm over here with 9 products and still manually copying error logs at 2am. what's the most absurd automation you've set up that actually works?

  All AI apps asking user to login with mail id or phone nmber & want money from day1 , this is the main reason for AI's slow success- 90's Google, gmail, Facebook era was real open source system @sama @sundarpichai @vembu
