-
Dead Simple Email (@DeadSimpleEmail) reportedAI 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

Symoné B. Beez (@SymoneBeez) reportedI don't even login to my Gmail account anymore. I use Grok @bot to read, reply, organize, and give me a daily overview for all 4 of my email addresses.

Martin Szerment | Practical AI (@MartinSzerment) reportedClaude can now run your Mac in the background while you do something else, and that quietly ends the debate about whether AI agents need your full attention. Everyone assumed autonomous computer control meant giving up your screen, watching a cursor move while you wait. That assumption is wrong now, at least on macOS 15. Sonnet 4.6 scores 72.5% on OSWorld, up from under 15% when computer use first shipped in late 2024. Two years took the model from novelty to something close to reliable. Yes, it's Pro and Max only, macOS only, still marked research preview. None of that changes the direction, it only changes the rollout schedule. This isn't a new feature, it's a shift in where automation lives. For a decade we treated automation as an API problem. Now the interface itself is the integration layer. Give it three years and clicking through a UI will be the fallback path, not the exception, for every agent that lacks a direct connector. Connectors like Slack and Gmail stop being the main event and become a shortcut Claude reaches for first, before it falls back to acting like you would. Engineers who spent years building bespoke API integrations are about to watch screen control eat a chunk of that work. Multitasking on a Mac just got a second set of hands, and most people haven't noticed yet.

THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot⚛️♿️#FLTG OG👴🏼#ZERORGB (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported@MisterSpace3 Yes if you don’t log in after a certain amount of time to PSN account they class as abandon. It is in ToS when sign up. I had to login recently as they email you to inform that not logged in for so long. Google do the same with Gmail accounts.

Shripal Gandhi (@ishripalgandhi) reportedThis has become a recurring problem. This has happened earlier too (maybe 2 months ago?), and its happening again. Entire businesses run on Whatsapp (I am NOT a proponent of that!) and this kind of an advance hoc review/hold can bring businesses to a standstill! Solution: 1. Move back to good ol' email. 2. For IM and VCs, use Meet/Teams/Zoom. 3. For channels, try Slack. 4. For OTPs, use SMS 5. Want to save on call charges then use the voice call feature on Meet/Teams. There is nothing unique that Whatsapp offers that your life cannot get by without. It's just that we are way too deep in a comfort zone and Zuck is exploring that to the fullest! If you have a damn smartphone then you sure as hell have a Gmail account or you wouldn't have been able to download Whatsapp. So move your arse out from WhatsApp and explore other options.

Osnat Lidor (@lidor_osnat) reported1. Find intent before you write anything Grok’s real advantage vs other models is live public X + web search. Use that for signals, not generic “write me a blog.” Ask it to: Pull how your ICP actually describes the problem this week (exact phrases, not marketing-speak). Find posts where people complain about a competitor, ask for alternatives, or announce a relevant hire/launch. Scan a target account’s recent news, jobs, and exec posts and extract 2–3 business priorities you can attach your product to. That language becomes better ads, landing pages, and first lines than anything invented from a persona doc. Treat every list as a research draft and verify people/companies yourself. Starter prompt: “Search X and the web for the last 14 days. Find posts from [title] at [company type] describing [problem you solve] or looking for an alternative to [competitor]. Quote the original language. Score each 1–10 for buying intent. Ignore generic venting.” 2. Build inbound assets that both humans and AIs can cite Website + content still drive a large share of B2B pipeline, and “generative engine optimization” now matters: buyers ask Grok / ChatGPT / Perplexity for software recommendations. Structure pages so an answer engine can extract a clean definition, comparison, and proof. Have Grok: Turn one customer win into a case study, comparison page, implementation guide, and FAQ cluster. Write definition-first sections (“X is…”, “Choose X when…”), question-style H2s, and short self-contained paragraphs. Produce an SEO/GEO brief: primary query, related questions, stats to source, internal links, and a “quotable” 2–3 sentence answer block. Then publish the best facts in crawlable HTML, not only behind a form. Gated PDFs are leads; public HTML is how AIs mention you. I can also turn those briefs into a Word doc, one-pager PDF, or slide deck you can ship. 3. Multiply one asset across the funnel One strong source (webinar transcript, customer interview, product changelog, whitepaper) should become: 1 long-form page 3–5 LinkedIn posts / X threads a 3–5 email nurture ad variants a sales one-pager Grok is good at this if you lock voice and constraints: tone, claims you can legally make, words you never use, CTA by stage. Ask for variants, not one “perfect” draft. Human-edit anything that goes live. 4. Personalize outbound without sounding like a bot Grok does not replace your list, sequencer, or judgment. It is best at research and tightening copy you already have. Workflow that actually works: You pick the account. Paste homepage copy, a press release, two job posts, and a LinkedIn About. Ask for priorities + one specific observation that ties to your offer. Ask for a 20-word opener that references a real detail—or “nothing specific, don’t invent.” You send. Never let it invent titles, emails, or flattery. At a startup, quality of 30 messages beats volume of 3,000. 5. Arm sales so marketing-sourced leads don’t stall Pipeline dies in the handoff. Use Grok to produce: Account briefs the morning of a call Objection handling from real competitor language on X Battle cards and “why us vs them” one-pagers Recap emails from call notes Simple decks for a first meeting If you connect CRM / Gmail / Slack (where available), it can draft in your tools and leave send/update for a human. That is the safe pattern GTM teams are using with Grok Bot-style workflows. 6. Run a weekly operating rhythm, not random chats The teams getting leverage treat Grok like a junior analyst with a standing brief: Monday: competitor and category scan (what changed, what buyers said). Midweek: content and ad variants from one approved source asset. Friday: “what should we test next” from performance notes you paste in. You can also use scheduled Automations so a research prompt runs on a cadence and you wake up to a digest instead of a blank page. What not to do Do not auto-send cold email or LinkedIn from raw Grok output. Do not use generated images as finished brand creative for customer-facing campaigns; they are fine for internal mockups and ideation. Do not treat citations or company facts as final without a source check. Do not optimize only for “more MQLs.” Optimize for meetings and opportunities with your ICP. Highest-leverage first week for a small SaaS team Feed Grok 3 customer calls + your ICP and extract the exact problem language. Rebuild your top 3 high-intent pages (comparison, use-case, pricing/FAQ) so they are quotable. Turn one closed-won story into a case study + LinkedIn series + 4-email sequence. Build a 15-account research pack and personalized openers for outbound. Give sales a one-page “how to talk about us vs [top competitor]” they will actually use. If you tell me your product, ICP (title + company type), and whether you lean inbound or outbound, I can draft the first asset set in this chat—positioning lines, page outline, email sequence, or X/LinkedIn posts—ready for you to edit.

mayrachm (@mayrachm) reported@egavrilenko11 @bot 2/3 GitHub didn't work either. I even tried creating a Cursor account, and it was the same. It only worked when I used the Gmail login option. I used another personal account and then linked it to my Supergrok account. I'm logged in that way, but when I connected the X plugin...

Robin Swanson (@robin_swanson) reported@MSFT365Status I haven't gotten emails since 9:11 AM. What are you doing to fix this issue? How are you communicating to customers? This is beyond unacceptable. Yet again a major malfunction by Microsoft. I should just switch my business email to Gmail, which has never gone down.

☆~ ASHTHA ~☆ (@DivyaKashy43898) reported@XSupport My friend is unable to access their X account @cuteshivi77. The password is correct, but X keeps showing “Incorrect Password.” We have requested a password reset several times, but the OTP/reset email is not being received on the registered Gmail account. Please look into this issue and help restore access to the account. Kindly fix the password reset/OTP issue as soon as possible. 🙏 #XSupport #AccountRecovery #PasswordReset

THE ADIO SEQUENCE (@theadiosequence) reported@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube The issue is the YouTube channel, not simply recovering the Google account. The Workspace account was gone for years while our channel stayed active. Our Gmail was added as Manager in 2025. The channel suddenly vanished with no notice. Can we escalate for review?

The Valehart Project (@ValehartProject) reported@nicdunz It's cool. You can just utilise the bug in their billing to get access to other accounts that they won't fix despite it being on the dev forums. I used this on a Gmail account to "breach" my own business account for a proof of concept to get them to fix it. Didn't need to provide consent or anything. Just sitting there draining my own business account via a gmail.

Pers (@0xPerser) reportedGave Grok Bot a real assignment: run parts of my business like an actual employee, not a chatbot answering questions. First mistake, immediately corrected. I almost had it spin up its own Gmail account — Google's already catching and disabling Gmail accounts created by agents like this. Switched to AgentMail instead, since it's already a listed plugin in Grok Bot's browser. OAuth, three minutes, 24 email tools live and working. For payments, Stripe has a live MCP server — the agent can create customers, issue invoices, run transactions, all through plain language, no custom integration built by hand. Before any of it touched something real, I wrote the rules first. What it's allowed to read. What it's allowed to send. What it's allowed to spend, and the exact caps. What needs my approval before it happens. One command that shuts the whole thing down if I need it gone. Passport first. Rules second. Never the other order. The mistake almost everyone makes isn't giving an agent too much access. It's giving it access before the rules exist to contain it.

Jordan Fry 🪐 (@jordanfry) reportedOne of my top media buyers told me my plan was wrong on Friday. He had the numbers. I was the one who had to change. I'd asked how he wanted to split brand and non-brand across Shopping and Performance Max on a client account. I already had a view. Shopping on brand, PMax on prospecting. Clean. Conventional. What I would have built myself. He came back with something different. Search and Shopping carry brand and non-brand. Demand Gen takes prospecting because Demand Gen lets you choose your placements and PMax doesn't. Then he showed me why. When we pushed PMax harder earlier in the month, the campaign quietly reallocated almost all of its spend into Gmail and the return collapsed. Pull the budget back down and it went straight back to Search. He'd also caught something I hadn't weighted. The branded PMax campaign in the same account is performing fine. So rather than shutting it off, he wanted to step it down gradually and watch whether Shopping absorbs the volume. That's a better plan than mine. Not even close. Here's the part I keep thinking about. He didn't ask permission to disagree. He'd already run the analysis, already built the counter-position, and sent it in a Slack message on a Friday afternoon. That doesn't happen by accident, and it isn't a personality trait. It happens when disagreeing has never cost anyone anything. The version of this that goes wrong is quiet. Someone sees the mix shift, assumes the founder already knows, and executes the worse plan anyway. Nobody argues. The account just underperforms for a quarter and nobody can point to why. I'd rather be corrected on a Friday than be right in a room where nobody talks. This is why hiring the right people is everything.

Sun Uther Wahn (@Stormwilliams) reported@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.
-
Austin (@IamAroke) reported@Spectra010s Right, full scan is the core problem. The Gmail example is probably just illustrative, same issue with any domain since it's the leading wildcard killing the index, not which domain gets searched.
-
Jojo (@Bangeek) reported@huacnlee Tried your app. Sign-in offers either Google Auth or IMAP. I went with IMAP, then found out Gmail no longer accepts password logins. Tried switching back to Google Auth: impossible. Uninstalled and reinstalled — still stuck on the "Add an IMAP mailbox" screen. Can you fix this?
-
A Mithra Is Fine Too (@Mithra_Is_Fine) reported@x_PuraVida_x @IntCyberDigest The age of spoofed email is basically over with near universal DKIM and SPF. You can’t even get delivered to gmail without those, and if you have them setup no real mail server will deliver a spoofed email from your domain.
-
Wogan (@WoganMay) reportedI think this is a symptom of the "internet" shrinking down to a handful of websites (Facebook, Gmail, X) for most of the population. They're not aware that outside of these walled gardens, everything is pretty much constantly on fire, all the time.

lasan (@las_nish) reportedComparisons of Free Trial Abuse Prevention Services If you're running a SaaS with a free trial or focusing on PLG, authentication and abuse prevention are not the same problem. - WorkOS: If you're already using WorkOS, WorkOS Radar is probably the first thing I'd look at. For a WorkOS stack, WorkOS AuthKit + Radar makes the most sense. You don't need to bolt another authentication system onto your app just to get abuse signals. - Auth0, Supabase Auth, Better Auth: These are primarily identity/authentication platforms. Integrating only these can't prevent free trial abuse. - Custom: Like the previous options, you need a custom way to prevent free trial abuse. Most free trial abuse methods involve disposable emails, Google dot variations, Google/Gmail domain variations, and plus addressing. That's why even when you block bots via Cloudflare Turnstile or CAPTCHA, you can still get these abusers. The industry standards: - Block free trial abuse using lists hosted on GitHub: This is a pain in the ***. If you don't want to pay money, you can use a service that offers a generous free tier. - WorkOS Radar: This is mainly used at the enterprise level. They focus more on WorkOS-related integrations rather than integrations with other providers. - ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, MillionVerifier, DeBounce: These are mainly used to clean/validate emails. There are 100s of alternatives, and most are similar with minor differences. They all have disposable email checking APIs. - UserCheck: This is also an email validation API, but they focus on blocking fake email addresses. It's better than a basic email verification API. - Autheona: This is in the same category as WorkOS Radar and UserCheck, but with more features. It also focuses on fake user detection and is growing with a real user base. Now, pricing: - WorkOS Radar: First 1,000 checks free, then $100 per 50 checks. No application-specific logic changes. Easy to integrate and manage. - ZeroBounce: 100 free validations in the free tier, then pay-as-you-go, starting at 2,000 for $39, and so on. - NeverBounce: No free trial or use case, $8 per 1,000 checks. - UserCheck: 1,000 API requests per month in the free plan. The rule-based engine is not included in the free plan, and you can get up to 1 request per second. - Autheona: 3,000 checks per month, with the rule-based policy engine included. Standard API request rate limitations apply, similar to paid plans. Now, use cases: - WorkOS Radar: Block disposable emails, plus addressing, and Google dot variations. - ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, etc.: Block disposable emails. - UserCheck: Block disposable emails, plus addressing, and Google dot variations; detect public emails; email suggestions; syntax validation; role detection. - Autheona: Everything included in UserCheck, plus business/free/government email identification, deliverability checks, fraud patterns, punycode and mixed-script checks, VPN detection, and bot detection (not necessary if you already use CAPTCHA, Cloudflare, etc.). Final decision from me: - Use WorkOS Radar if you're already in the WorkOS ecosystem. It's harder to integrate with other auth providers. - Use ZeroBounce-like APIs if you need basic disposable email checks. They're not as good if you need a better free tier. - Use UserCheck if you only need email-related validation and want to stay within the free plan. - Use Autheona if you need the most generous free tier available with a custom policy engine. All services take a maximum of a few hours to integrate and test. Both UserCheck and Autheona have a similar approach: integrate once and never touch the code again.
