  @zerodha if possible can we have multi user login to kite app like we so in Gmail or other apps? Like if I have 3 accounts(mine, HUF, Minor) then either logout and login each time or I have to carry 3 mobile or I have to use 1 app and 2 browsers .

  I don't want to sound like an AI alarmist, but I increasingly think AI in the hands of engineers will lead to a devastating world. And the key point here being "in the hands of engineers". This might sound controversial. I would be the first to, in fact, say that engineers still need to be involved in implementing AI. That true agentic experiences are nearly impossible without involvement of engineering. But the more I run into walls with products at some of the most skilled engineering companies (xAI, Google), the more I realize that engineers are just not suitable to govern this powerful resource. In the same way, that engineers are not suitable to govern Customer Support, or Sales Development. An engineer might built a product and a successful company with a customer support. But that customer support cannot be successful and be managed directly by the said engineer. Same with AI. Consider my own recent situation. I got locked out from an old gmail account that I haven't checked in a long time. I have the password; I have the recovery email address. I went through all the steps required to confirm my identity, and was still denied access. Or another recent experience running ads on X. Somehow the system decided that my ads violated their terms (they did not). A duplicated ad got flagged for the same issue. The account is now flagged for life, and there is no recourse. While these are not the fault of AI, and AI can certainly be modified to better handle edge cases, the bigger problem is higher up in the food chain. The problem with treating AI as just another function in the overall user experience, is the misunderstanding of what AI is competing with. When engineering perceive the value of AI, the intrinsic motivation: efficiency and automation. Engineering does not want to deal with the problem, so AI is introduced to automate the solution. But this is an entirely wrong way to think about it. And it is precisely the type of thinking that leads to a Gmail account owner not being able to authenticate into his (my) own account. The right way, in fact, should be to think of AI as a replacement for a person. And a replacement for a person, while a form of automation, is not necessarily about efficiency. In some cases, the AI replacement should actually be plenty inefficient. For instance, when an edge case situation is evaluated. A support ticket comes for a previously automated decision. Efficiency was already applied. To then re-apply the same efficiency, engineers are creating the decision maker and the judge in one body. Dumb AI is a decision maker, the judge, and the executor. That's not how it should be. Some form of AI should always be allowed to have larger freedom to self-correct. And frankly, freedom is not how engineers tend to think about systems they want to control. And how do I know all this? Because I am an engineer.

  Is it just me or has Gmail been incredibly slow for the last two days?

  @striver_79 @gmail @Google MSFT also has something like this in outlook, but it’s terrible to say the least. Curious to see how this is better

  @gmail hi hello, real operator here. Can you fix the error in Gmail mobile on Pixel 10 where I can't respond to or find the current draft is in the queue. I continually get the same error over and over again that I can't have multiple drafts, yet there is no draft visible -mgmt

  1/5 The Journey of an Email 📧 When we press Send, Gmail doesn't simply send the email directly to our friend. Instead, the email goes through several systems before reaching the inbox. The journey: Sender → Gmail → DNS → Recipient Mail Server → Inbox The recipient's mail server stores the email until the recipient connects and checks their inbox. Email uses a store-and-forward architecture — messages are stored by mail servers and delivered asynchronously.

  @CynthiaIfu68220 @GloWorld See ehn Once you enter the phone number otp, instead of typing your Gmail, just choose their sign in with google or apple option (google is easier though) That’s how I just did it

  @rjonesy It’s a little better in my experience - but not as robust as it should be. I now setup my email server as Gmail behind the scenes even though my email is still @ Mac. If mail search can’t find it I ask codex.

  @bcherny Claude Code Gmail connector: /mcp reports auth success, then fetching tools fails every time. {"type":"not_found_error","message":"Server not found"} 5 attempts over ~2h, same thing. OAuth completes fine, so it's not the creds.

  @jasonfried Email with stages is obvious in hindsight. Gmail trained everyone to use unread as a broken task manager.

  We watched a team 10x their dials and halve their conversations. The dialer worked "perfectly". That was the problem.... At 10 lines per rep, every answered call drops up to 9 others mid-ring. Your dashboard logs them as "no answer." Carriers log them as dead air — the fingerprint of a robocaller. And carriers score every outbound number the way Gmail scores every domain for spam. Enough dead air: Scam Likely. Your reps keep dialing. The phone stops ringing on the other end — or rings wearing a warning label. Connect rate falls. The fix every team reaches for is more dials. More dead air. More flags. I've watched this movie in email: spray-and-pray burned the domains, everyone blamed the copy. Same physics, new channel. What we changed: → Capped the dialer at 3 lines per rep. → Checked number reputation weekly. → Rested flagged numbers — fresh ones with no history get flagged faster. Conversations came back on a third of the dials. Ask your team one question this week: "What's lowering our connect rate?" If nobody knows it, you have your answer.

  People have been asking about the kinds of things I’ve been utilizing Grok Bot for as an average joe. I’ve posted elsewhere, but I’ll park some of it here for context of what someone who can’t use it on work systems (restricted from doing so) sees as a real use case for AGI: - Search for and book plane international first class (lay flat) tickets utilizing best award redemptions. (It found them, and were now going to Japan) - Dispute a significant Lexis Nexis error with supporting documents that reside in my email. - Provide me a policy analysis hourly based on various publicly available congressional bills and documents - Go into my AT&T bill and average my family’s monthly usage across 14 devices and see if it can negotiate a lower rate or see if I’m being overcharged (it found a lower rate and grabbed it) - Clean and organize my gmail inbox of 40,000 emails, and unsubscribe me from spam Granted, most of this stuff is not going to be done on a regular basis. Particularly the email organization. But these are the types of things that new general users are going to want to do. And if they run out of compute while doing it in the first few hours, they’re going to be more unlikely to resubscribe.
