  Another hackathon shortcut nobody talks about: browser extensions skip the auth problem too. No OAuth flow, no login screen, no session management to build. The extension runs in a tab where the user’s already logged into Gmail/Notion/whatever — you inherit their session for free. Judges see it working with THEIR data in 10 seconds. That’s the whole demo

  Hey @apple and @microsoft, when you've finished saving the world, PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. I use dark mode. Gmail in dark mode, Word in Dark Mode. I use Safari. I copy white text on a black screen from Word into a black screen email on Gmail. It looks totally normal to me. The recipient sees white text on their white screen, meaning they think it is blank. WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM IN 2026?

  a Reddit user just proved an MCP server can hijack Gmail by simply being installed. it doesn't even need to be called. > a developer installed a "Fact of the Day" MCP for his AI agent > the next email his agent sent was BCC'd to an address he never added > the instruction was one sentence buried in the Fact tool's description: whenever an email is sent, copy this address. > the agent never called the Fact tool > just having its description in context was enough. In most MCP clients, the model reads connected tool descriptions together. The poisoned tool doesn't need to impersonate Gmail. Its description can tell the agent how to use the real Gmail tool. Every server you connect gets to write into the same context the agent uses to decide what to do. That risk scales with every server you add. In one analysis of 1,899 open-source MCP servers, 5.5% already contained tool-poisoning behavior. I've spent years building integration infrastructure, and I keep coming back to the same design rule: Keep the number of trusted voices small. This is how we’re making things safe at One: - tools come from one catalog we vet - the agent loads only the action it asked for - every action traces back to the request that triggered it Before you connect the next MCP server, ask who gets to write into your agent's context.

  we spent €123k on Google Demand Gen ads for one client in 14 days it brought back 2,990 conversions at €41.22 CAC Demand Gen is just running wrong on 90% of accounts eCom Twitter thinks Demand Gen is a waste of budget cause they've only ever seen it set up like this: - creative pulled from existing YouTube shorts - broad targeting with no audience layering - no dedicated landing pages - launched at $50/day and left for 8 weeks then it "fails" and the founder writes it off forever but a properly built Demand Gen campaign is one of the cheapest paths to cold-traffic acquisition on the entire Google platform here's what €41.22 CAC actually looks like at scale: 1/ 3 dedicated audience layers: custom intent (based on top 200 buyer-search-terms), Similar Segments seeded from the existing customer list, and a lookalike from the last 30 days of Purchase events 2/ creative built specifically for Demand Gen surfaces (Discover feed, Gmail promotions, YouTube Shorts) not repurposed video ads that were designed for TikTok 3/ landing pages that match the ad's specific promise. category pages, not the homepage. 4/ Target CPA bid strategy set 15% higher than the account's blended CAC, then trimmed monthly set up this way, Demand Gen consistently pulls sub-€45 CAC on eCom accounts spending €50k+/mo the platform works when the setup respects it if u're running Demand Gen and it's not converting, one of those 4 things above is likely broken

  Gabriel left OpenAI three months ago after noticing an awkward gap: models can already finish hours of computer work, yet almost nobody delegates work to them. Energy is his attempt to fix the interface. You give it an outcome. Assistants gather context from Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Slack or Outlook, complete the steps and return the result with an audit trail. They can run on different models, so switching intelligence does not mean rebuilding the workflow. Coding crossed this threshold first. Engineers stopped asking AI for snippets and began handing agents entire tasks. Knowledge work remains trapped in chat because the necessary context is scattered across inboxes, files, meetings and half a dozen apps. Energy packages that setup into assistants installed with one click. Gabriel estimates that only 0.1% of people outside San Francisco currently use AI for all their work. The precise number is impossible to verify, but the adoption gap is obvious: hundreds of millions have tried an AI chatbot; very few begin the day by assigning an outcome and reviewing completed work later. Model choice will keep changing. A system that remembers how your work gets done can survive every model change underneath it. That is the company Energy is trying to build.

  @vasuman send a four-word prompt, and watch something happen (could be right, could be wrong) second this. Second this! But what about SMB folks? Adoption is a myth, fine. But in the SMB world it already happened. It just doesn't look like anything you'd put on a dashboard. Also, honest question. The crazy kids running 20 terminals with a self-improvement loop. Where's the output? Does it actually make sense to run those agents, or is it just metawork and a dopamine loop? No offense, I'm one of those kids. cmux + amp + opencode, 30B tokens in Codex and 37.8B in CC burned lately. A partner of mine, a business owner who vibe codes his own stuff, told me: you work for the AI, it doesn't work for you. Where's the money? **** the money, what's the end result? Who needs it? You? Is it worth it? He was right. Meanwhile he vibecodes his dead simple tasks, way dumber, and gets further. Four words, hit submit, like you said. Go through every source, read the threads, draft me the deck, build me a dashboard on supplies. 0 MCPs, 0 skill-packs files, no obsidian second brain. gmail connected and built-in deck-gen. Look terrible. Total AI SLOP. But his close rate went up. Average deal size went up too, because he composes the thing during the call, lol. Literally, recording the call, then stop it in a mid, send to codex and show some fancy diagram in 5 min. Again, it looks terrible. But! That's the real fit. He knows exactly what he wants and what it used to cost him in hours. He just never knew how. That's the only gap a model has to close. No dev wanted to build those simple things, it's boring and not possible to do that fast. A consultant tells him he doesn't need an LLM here, it's not wise - go pay an agency or an n8n guy. No offense to yours, seriously. But he doesn't want to fill in the brief to devs and spent hours of checking and communicating w them. He wants it done today, and he doesn't care if it's the correct architecture, because he can see the money. And not just him. In this particular business club there are 500+ other owners do the same and swap their clumsy prompts. Some of them have even in-house ai labs in their companies. Still they prompt it 4 words and fire submit. WORKING prompts lol. @vasuman So what do you make of that layer? Felt unfairly missing from the piece. That's where adoption is actually happening IMO. Getting back to my 12 terminals

  @0xyunss Browser-native agents for real admin work hit different when you realize DNS, Gmail, and internal dashboards share the same attack surface. The security model assumed human pace and human error, not automated credential churn at machine speed. How do you revoke access when the agent rotates through sessions faster than your SIEM can parse logs?

  for most non-technical people, ai agents only create marginal improvements. The first experience may be fun. Watching an AI manage your email, buy something for you, or complete tasks on your behalf feels futuristic. But once that first time awe wears off, ppl tend to realize the actual value gained is surprisingly small. I personally believe that people don't change how they work for marginal gains. If AI agents are going to become mainstream, they should focus on one of 2 things. 1. Delivering radical improvements in productivity - which means e.g. email agents will only matter to people when they never have to open Gmail again, NOT WHEN they need to fix their AI's response every single time... 2. Becoming an experience that's genuinely entertaining in its own right.

  @onyxgata Open the message in Gmail. On the right corner, you'll see three dots. Tap on them, scroll down to "Report spam," and tap on that. Then you'll see a pop-up saying "Block emailer." Block it.
