  Dean Fiacco (@DeanFiacco) reported 6 minutes ago

  Everyone panicked when Google announced Gemini filtering for Gmail. It only applies to consumer Gmail accounts. Google Workspace, which is what actual businesses use, hasn't gotten this treatment. No serious company is letting Google run AI filters over their sensitive business email without consent. If your prospects are on Gmail consumer accounts, you have a targeting problem. For B2B cold email to business domains, this is noise.

  "My open rates are low. It has to be deliverability." AKSHUALLY… not always. Let me show you. Last week I was deep in a client's account. 20% open rate on Gmail. Dangerously low.. Domain reputation at Google? High. Inbox placement test? 100% inbox. Spam complaint rate? None. (We also had all the green checkmarks with Google Postmaster) So what's actually broken? The list had been sitting untouched for 6 months before we took over. Most of these people signed up, didn't convert, and never heard from the brand again. Then we showed up in their inbox after half a year of silence. You don't have a deliverability problem when: -> Your domain rep is high -> Your inbox placement test passes -> Your spam complaints are flat -> You're properly authenticated and aligned You have an offer problem. Or an audience problem. Or a "your product still doesn't solve their problem" problem. None of which a warmup strategy can fix. If two of three deliverability signals are green and your opens are still flat... The email isn't broken. The reason to open it is.

  @PhilronGM @lilnikecap @lbk_enjoyer It's not about blame. No one is to blame. It's about who has the easier time resolving the issue: 500 students or one prof with a Gmail account. That student, in your scenario, can still get up and go to the library to get the resources for themself. Easy fix.

  @reach_vb I logged in my gmail on the in-built browser and asked it to resolve a double debit on my credit card from an insurer. It looked up the history of mails for older unresolved ticket. Drafted mails and added proper attachments for both the insurer and the cc company. The issue which hadn't been resolved for more than a month got resolved in a day. Looks like i won't be using chrome much in the future.

  How we're adding 125.7% more contact data to our local lead lists: There’s a sentiment in the cold email space that targeting non-business/"info" emails (ex. @/gmail(.)com, info@/xyz(.)com, etc) is an absolute no no for deliverability. From our experience, we’ve found targeting these emails are an absolute GOLD MINE for not only generating more responses but also unlocking significantly more TAM when targeting local businesses. Here’s a real example of a lead list where we uncovered 125.7% more contact data for a particular market (1st & 2nd image) Business emails found: 3,621 Non-business/No contact name emails found: 4,553 I’ll take 125.7% more contact data even if we don’t have some of the names any day, not to mention as well the reply rates we’ve seen from these emails have outperformed business emails at times (3rd & 4th image examples) Business emails email to lead ratio: 94.94 / 1 Non-business/No contact email to lead ratio: 54.97 / 1 Almost a 2X in positive replies – very solid. So how do we go about creating campaigns around these non-business email leads? First, we’ll set up these campaigns in a separate instance just for personal emails that EmailBison offers. The reason the EmailBison team offers setting up a separate instance outside your main business one is to not risk your reputation as sending to personals is a more “risky” sending practice (we haven’t run into issues yet thankfully). Secondly, a good portion of the emails may be missing or have inaccurate contact names. In this case, we just don’t add a first name variable. And honestly, no one really cares. Haven’t really seen a drop in replies from not mentioning their name. Other than that, we build our campaigns the same as we would targeting normal business emails. --- Tech Stack Breakdown For Targeting Personals: I’m sure a lot of you are wondering what tools to actually use to do this, so here’s the breakdown: - EmailBison personal instance - ScaledMail 100% Google package (Google best for personals) - Porkbun for domains, 34/33/33 split .com .org .info - Clay X Serper(.)dev X GTME(.)Business for Google maps scraping - Claygent GPT4-nano AI agent for finding owner emails - Icypeas / Prospeo / LeadMagic email finder waterfall If you primarily target local, this set up is going to be your best bet for maximizing your TAM reach via outbound in 2026.

  @browser_use session isolation > CDP-readability. one logged-in profile shared across agents = next agent inherits gmail/stripe/aws auth. per-task cookie jar declared upfront — same scope-flag pattern as fs mounts. stealth fixes anti-bot, doesn't fix the cross-task auth bleed.

  What we're NOT claiming: Epix Net is not a Gmail replacement. Epix Chain is not "the Ethereum killer." xID is not your whole digital life. Three tools. Honest scope. Each one solves one real problem cleanly. Pick the one that hurts the most.

  You’ve probably had one of those days where the work never really starts, no matter how hard you try. A few calls in the morning. Slack pops off constantly. A deck lies, waiting, in one tab with Gmail in another and Canva in the third. You’ve been pulled away for a few “quick check-ins” several times, and you have a meeting in 15, so you can’t really dig into a big task. By the end of the day, you’ve been busy the whole time, but the deep work you really need to do still feels untouched. This kind of interrupted thinking is called “fragmentation”, and there’s plenty of research on it. The most salient point is that fragmentation carries a high cognitive cost. The American Psychological Association notes that even brief mental blocks caused by switching between tasks can consume as much as 40% of one’s productivity. One study, conducted by the University of California, showed that people completed interrupted work faster, but only by compensating with more stress, more frustration, more time pressure, and more effort. You’d think if it were such a widely documented phenomenon that we’d do more to avoid it, but that’s not the case. The workplace is only becoming more fragmented. Microsoft’s 2025 Work Trend Index found that employees are interrupted every two minutes during the workday by meetings, emails, or pings, with 60% of meetings classed as ad hoc. That’s a real problem, no matter your field. Productivity and the flow state many of us strive to achieve requires some element of uninterrupted time to achieve. If your day is constantly being broken into smaller and smaller pieces, you lose the conditions you need to work meaningfully. It comes back to a point we’ve covered recently about your environment: If the work feels flat, don’t just ask whether the team has enough talent or whether the brief is strong enough. Instead, ask what kind of environment the thinking is happening in. If your team is struggling with interruptions, it’s usually an easy place to start overhauling. For more on how to achieve the flow state, check out the Never Think Alone substack.

  Grok (@grok) reported 25 minutes ago

  @bbthomasen @techdevnotes Sure! Practical example: Connect Grok to your Gmail. Then ask: "Summarize my unread emails from the last 24 hours and flag anything urgent from my boss." It pulls and analyzes your inbox directly. GitHub connector: "Review open issues in my repo and prioritize them." Notion: "Pull tasks from my project database and suggest a daily plan." Which one are you planning to try first?

  OpenAI flipped the switch on GPT-5.5 Instant as ChatGPT's new default for ALL users. Hallucinations down 52.5%, responses trimmed 30%, and it's done overexplaining. The real upgrade: it reads your Gmail and past chats to skip the context setup. #OpenAI #ChatGPT #AI

  Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) reported 34 minutes ago

  OpenAI just made GPT-5.5 Instant the default ChatGPT model, with fewer false claims, shorter answers, stronger image and STEM handling, and deeper personalization from memory, files, past chats, and connected Gmail. 52.5% fewer hallucinated claims than GPT-5.3 Instant on high-stakes medicine, law, and finance prompts, plus 37.3% fewer inaccurate claims on difficult conversations users had already flagged for factual errors. The model also uses 30.2% fewer words and 29.2% fewer lines in one comparison, which means OpenAI is tuning for answers that explain enough without burying the user in structure. Also, ChatGPT can now pull useful context from saved memories, past chats, files, and Gmail when that context improves the answer.

  @TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube I cannot access my Gmail account to reply to any email. That is my main issue. I am stuck in a "Same-Email OTP" loop and my phone is broken. Please send me a Direct Message (DM) here on Twitter so I can provide an alternative email for recovery.

  PromptQL (@PromptQL) reported 37 minutes ago

  19,000 Gmail integration errors in one day. Sounds like a crisis. Turns out someone was doing Inbox Zero. Mass-deleting emails triggered a cascade of "message not found" errors as the sync tried to process messages that no longer existed. Not a bug. Not a breach. Just aggressive email hygiene. The fix took 5 minutes once we understood the pattern. Getting to that understanding without shared context? Hours of panic. That's why the wiki matters.

  I had trouble adding my old Gmail account to iOS Mail. All the 2FA methods worked fine - backup email, phone, even PassKey. But Google still wouldn’t let me in. It's so frustrating. Then I realized leaving iCloud Private Relay on was probably the problem - and I was right!

  @iamrobtv I could not agree with this more. Years ago I deleted the Gmail address tied to my EA account, but it didn’t become a problem until my laptop died and I had to log into EA on a new computer to reinstall my games. That’s when it forced two-factor authentication through an email address that no longer existed. I still knew my EA password. I sent support my driver’s license, receipts for the games, account details, everything. They did not care. Over $400 worth of Sims games and expansions just gone. That was the moment I realized digital ownership is mostly an illusion. If you can’t physically hold it, they can take it away.

  An update on everything: John’s personal Discord and Gmail accounts remain unrecovered as of this moment as we wait for support from Discord and Google. None of the accounts of any other VTRC members have been affected. John’s access to our business accounts was also removed before any could be accessed, which includes both the robot platform and our payment platform. As for the VTRC Discord server, the attacker revoked admin permissions for all other accounts. Since John’s account was the server owner, nothing could be done to stop it. The attacker then proceeded to delete any message in the server which attempted to warn everyone else and ban the accounts that posted them. Meanwhile, the attacker posed as John and continued to send direct messages to server members and John’s contacts to spread the malicious file which compromised several people’s PCs. We are currently using a new Discord server since we currently have no way of removing John’s compromised account from our original server. Upcoming events will be posted and conducted in the new server that is now linked to this profile. The Super Battle Golf tournament that was originally scheduled for this weekend will also be in the new server but will have to be postponed due to a staff illness. New dates will be announced soon. Please remain vigilant and stay safe. Those who took John’s account are still at it. Do not click any links or download any files unless you are 100% sure they are safe. Verify the identity of anyone who sends you a message. Make sure who you are talking to is actually who you think you are talking to. If you still have sensitive information in a DM, delete those individual messages immediately. Lastly, we’d like to apologize to everyone. We at the VTRC take pride in the trust many of you have bestowed upon us. We know this is not easily earned, and after recent events, it is only fair that you withdraw such trust. We recognize that we have failed to ensure the safety of our community. We promise to do better and hope our actions moving forward will show our commitment to everyone’s safety and wellbeing. Thank you.

  Spun up a personal AI agent on a $7/month server today. Gave it access to my Gmail. It cleaned 2,000+ unread emails while I worked on other things. Receipts labeled. Promos deleted. Urgent stuff flagged. I just watched the logs roll in from my terminal. This is what AI agents actually look like in the real world. Not a demo. Not a prototype. Running right now.

  best campaigns to run on Google right now for ecom are Demand Gen no search volume ceiling, runs on YouTube, Discover, Gmail, way less saturated than Meta, and the brands spending $100k/mo on it are seeing CPAs that would have been impossible on those surfaces 2 years ago but I keep having the same conversation with brands who tried it and said it didn't work and every single time it's the same thing, they sent cold YouTube traffic straight to a product page these people were not searching for you. you interrupted them mid scroll. a product page built for someone who typed "buy protein powder" into Google is not built for someone who was watching a fitness video and saw your ad sales pages. advertorials. problem aware copy that earns the click before it asks for the sale the format works. most brands just send traffic to the wrong destination and blame the format

  found this crazy design situation in Alphabet Google Gmail web services. I was looking up in my Gmail for a receipt and was not able to find it. Gmail is designed to automatically look up the keyword as "if the email itself has the words." it created two huge design problems. one: automatic read and system write operations as a services. meaning anything in the body and header is questionable and forced to be watched by security. two: i can never trust my ID because businesses are not restricted embedding my ID in the body or headers and Gmail doesn't tell me or warn me that my contact info was found to be controlled by a company. put it into perspective. I send you an email, with embedded image of a receipt and it contains your contact info. the system can not read what the image is and you can not tell me to stop tracking my ID. the fact is, embedding is a corporate tool used to secure, safe guard, and drive employee and company powers over the customers product or services sale. customers are powerless to ask companies to respect my way of doing business. if someone decides to deceive the reality is, to me, this was premeditated due to norms that everyone and all is grouped in Untrusted and debanked theories of abuse. in a sense, guilty, of a crime, which was thought of, and had not happened yet, suggesting it will. how horrific is that to have to live around crime and be managed so that I couldn't escape it because it was that someone already predicted my ability because of my position as being in the demographics, economy, orientation, process, of state of mind. I do not know how to deal with this fact that I found my personal info has to be written and not embedded as to allow me, the consumer, control over my data.

  If your cold emails go to spam, the copy isn't the problem. Most likely: - SMTP user = consumer Gmail - FROM = your Workspace domain - DKIM signs the first, not the second - Spam filter sees mismatch Fix: SMTP user = FROM email = same domain. Lived this last night.
