biased opinion (@ahmedafatah) reportedr/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?

Big bro (@reactreaper) reportedalmost all "better Google" have failed imo 10+ seconds to load my emails? when google responds it via their api in <2s? 1s->server<->2.5s gmail->response 1s, 5s max roundtrip (being generous) the UI was better than Gmail, but no one wants to wait 10s for emails

Farhan (@mhdfaran) reported2. The inbox triage If you've got anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand unread emails in Gmail, the signal is buried under newsletters, marketing blasts, calendar pings, receipts, and cart-abandonment emails. The fix isn't to delete blindly. Get a sender-by-sender map first, then approve the cleanup in one pass. Prompt: I have Gmail open. Scan my inbox (Primary, Promotions, and Updates tabs) for the last 90 days. Classify each message into one of these buckets: 1. Promotional: marketing emails, newsletters, sales blasts, coupon codes. 2. Automated: receipts, calendar notifications, order confirmations, shipping updates, "your password was changed." 3. Personal or work signal: anything that looks like a real person writing to me, or an automated email I likely need to keep (invoices, tax docs, legal notices). Then build a single page in a new tab listing the top 20 senders from buckets 1 and 2, with: - Count of emails each sender has sent me in the last 90 days. - Date of the most recent one. - A one-line recommendation: "Unsubscribe and delete all" / "Keep but archive old" / "Review manually." Do not delete or unsubscribe yet. Wait for my approval on the list. Once I approve a sender, open their messages in the inbox, select them all, and move them to Trash in a single batch. For unsubscribes, click the unsubscribe link in their most recent email and confirm. Pause before any action that sends an email on my behalf or changes account settings.

Degen Protocol™ (@Degen__Protocol) reported@Stacey154117 That Gmail address is a known phishing trap, not official support. If they resolved your "issue," they probably just drained your wallet. Check the chain. No legit protocol uses a Gmail helpdesk. You got played.
-
Rendani (MBA - Wits) (@Rendani666) reportedThe criminals did not use everything immediately. That is why the chain was hard to see. First, they tested her Gmail. A login attempt failed. A password reset was triggered on an old shopping profile. Someone searched her mailbox for “ID copy”, “proof of residence”, “bank statement”, “bursary”, “CIPC”, “tax PIN”, “Sizwe”, “POP”, “application”, and “quote”. One security alert landed in her inbox, but it arrived between a school circular, a WhatsApp Web reconnection email, and a reminder about a staff meeting. That was the first near-miss. The warning was there. It just looked like more admin inside a life already drowning in admin.

Kody “KodeZero” | Take KTRL! (@iKodeZero) reportedWas working on something for KTRL that required an email to login to things with. The email got banned and now I have to wait for an appeal 👍 Not using Gmail next time…

Luca (@LukeScreamHNF) reported@MightyQ @Wizards i made an account today too, with gmail. searching via reddit i figured out the issue was when it says "invalid email", the site actually proceeded with the creation and i could login to then get a confirmation email never seen a site so broken..

~Reez (@FareezyCheesy) reportedHonestly learned my lesson with this when I used my university email (Gmail based) to login for everything and then they shut it down 10 years after graduation with no true way to integrate the info into another account

Rachel 🦥 (@RachelTheseDays) reportedAnyone else have Xfinity email that you check w/ the GMail app? Are you having issues? Mine brings the email in but when you click on one it opens but is blank. If I click so a drop down menu appears the body of the email shows up but as soon as you try to scroll or click... 1/3

Monday-Monday (@MondayMonday_2_) reported@OwenGregorian I will not go near anything that is Google. I don’t have a Gmail or any other apps associated with Google because they has cracks in the door where hackers can get in and there are aware of it and they don’t fix it. The hackers could be them? I bought an iPhone and stick with iCloud and the search engine under Norton. I have not had any problems since making that transfer. I WILL NOT DEAL AT ALL WITH GOOGLE.💪
-
LND (@y1vl3vy) reported@the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.

My business: [DESCRIBE IN 2 LINES] My role: [FOUNDER / FREELANCER / CREATOR] My biggest problem right now: [1 LINE — BE HONEST] My top 3 time-wasters: [LIST THEM] My tools: [NOTION / GMAIL / ZAPIER / OTHER] Now do this: 1.

Keanziyy (@Keanziyy) reportedMy friend caught his girlfriend cheating in the craziest way. She logged her Gmail into his phone and forgot Uber/Bolt receipts get sent there automatically. Anytime she went to see the other guy, the location would appear in her email. One day, he tracked the address and found her with him. When he confronted her, she said: “He funds my lifestyle. The nail business doesn’t make enough, I also don’t bill you that’s why we don’t have finance problems but I still love you.” What is he supposed to do in this situation?

Bharat (@bharatln) reportedCreator of Gmail, Paul Buchheit, revealed why all software based startups will get killed by AI. he talks about what is the EXACT reason almost all software based startups will die out and what EXACTLY will save the ones that don't. "If your startup's value comes from the limitation of any current AI model...your startup is surviving until a big AI company pushes a new update." we have seen the exact same pattern where thousands of startups and wrappers shut down overnight because Anthropic announced a new update in Claude... he also emphasized that since building a software is easier than ever...saying your startup is hard to build..is no longer a defensible moat either. the only survivor factor? your network. If you have a strong network..like uber or doordash, you are basically dominating a category then. you will win. he also talks about practical guide on how you should exactly be figuring out your network. watch the full video. bookmark it.
