  Zapier built a 5 BILLION-dollar business by ignoring the keyword everyone else was fighting for nobody searches "automation platform", which is exactly the term most of their competitors optimized for so Zapier skipped it instead they built a separate page for every tiny thing someone might actually search: - connect Gmail to Slack - sync Shopify orders to a spreadsheet - send Typeform replies to Notion 50,000+ of these pages, one for every app combination people look up each one is boring on its own, a few hundred searches a month at most but stacked together they pull in MILLIONS of visitors, and Zapier shows up the second someone has the exact problem it solves the lesson: the big keyword in your space is crowded and barely converts the thousand specific ones your buyers actually type are sitting wide open most companies write one page chasing the term everyone wants the winners build a thousand pages for the terms nobody's claimed

  Zapier cracked the SEO game and built a $310M+/year business from it open Google search: “Slack to Google Sheets automation” “Gmail to Notion integration” “Shopify email automation” you’ll see Zapier every time they turned thousands of tiny use cases into thousands of pages each one solving a problem right when someone searches for it you could do the exact same thing take what your product already solves, and turn every single use case into its own page now every search becomes a chance to acquire a new user

  @CashionEast Most people login to Claude through their Gmail. You want Spotify? Just add it through Claude onto your account and now Claude is an extra $10/month. Don’t even have to go to Spotify’s website. Spotify will do it too because if they don’t, someone else will and users want the least friction possible.

  What is this? This a login on an ipad for a gmail account that I've NEVER used on an iPad. See that little notice on the login? "This session was only used briefly, and not recently. It's probably safe, but if you're concerned you can sign out of it." Oh gee ... can I really? Thanks SO much. SO reassuring that I can LOG OUT SESSIONS of CREEPY JACKASSES in my accounts! Just FYI, I have literally logged thousands of hacked sessions. 👇 This is not a normal log in. Like I said in one of my #HackedtheSaga updates, I think this is a "notice" from some criminal "law enforcement agency" or another that they accessed my account.

  The AI word of the week has been "loops" — adding yet another piece of jargon to the non-technical vocabulary. This is leaving a lot of people asking: what are they, how are they different from prompts? In a lot of non-technical circles the level of grey about what the parts of agentic AI actually are (and how to use them) can be overwhelming. What's more, they're not static — as things develop, so do their uses and how they work together. Loops themselves have evolved over the last few years. So, here's a little primer to make things easier: Prompt — we know this one. It's the instruction you write for the LLM. You send it, get your output, and any tweaking happens off the back of that output. Prompts are for one-off tasks. As you build reliable ones, you reuse them by pasting them into the terminal or chat. Agent — (this one we know too) the LLM running on its own, doing a series of steps without you watching each one. You give it a goal and walk away. Call — to invoke something by name so it runs. You "call" a skill (or a loop, a tool, an MCP) by typing its name and the LLM loads it and executes the setup. When you ask your LLM to use a skill, hook or loop you are calling it. Skill — a packaged set of instructions, files, and tools the LLM loads when you call it by name. A prompt is just one-off instructions; a skill brings the working setup with it — what to read, what rules to follow, what tools it can use, what to produce. You call it once and the whole setup runs. Some people stuff all this into their CLAUDE.md, but bloating CLAUDE.md causes context issues and the LLM starts ignoring your instructions. That's why skills are for specific contexts and tasks, not general ones. The rule of thumb is: when you have a task you do over and over, with rules → make it a skill. Call it by name instead of re-explaining the rules every time you want it done. Hook — a rule that says "when X happens, do Y." It executes automatically when triggered — a file is saved, a meeting ends, a session starts — and the hook runs the action you tied to it. These are basic automations. Use them when one task is dependent on a different event. Example: You save a new invoice PDF in your invoices folder → a hook automatically triggers your expense categorization skill and logs it in your accounting sheet. Loop — a small program you write that runs a prompt for you, over and over, and checks the work was done properly. It isn't the prompt itself — it's the thing that runs the prompt without you in the middle. Loops are more complicated than hooks and are not prompts. Where a hook does one thing from start to end when triggered, a loop initiates a process from start to end automatically at a time you define. Where a prompt is instructions, a loop is the directive to use those instructions. Use it for repeatable tasks where you're confident in the output and want them running without starting each one yourself. The loop runs the skill, checks the work, stops when the rules say so. Example: A daily "process inbox" loop that runs every morning at 9 a.m., summarizes new emails, extracts action items, self-verifies, and only pings you if something needs your attention. Loops only work if you set them up properly. A few things worth understanding before you do: - Self-verify — a step inside a loop where the LLM checks its own work against the rules before saving or moving on. Without it, the loop produces confident garbage. With it, the loop catches and fixes its own mistakes. - Simple loop vs supervisor loop — a simple loop is one LLM doing one task on repeat. A supervisor loop is a top loop that spins up several workers in parallel, each running its own prompt, then combines their output into one result. - Token budget — a hard cap on how much the loop can spend before it has to stop. Tokens are what the AI charges for, like minutes on a phone bill. Without a cap, a stuck loop can rack up hundreds overnight. Remember when you write you see words, the Agent sees tokens. - Orchestration vs execution — the loop orchestrates: decides what runs, when, and in what order. The LLM executes: runs the actual prompt and produces the output. Two different jobs. - .md files (markdown) — a plain text file the LLM can read. This is where most of your directions for an AI — instructions, rules, context — live. It's how you tailor an LLM to your project. Common ones: CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md (depends on the LLM you're using) — master instructions for a folder or project. They live in the folder you launch the LLM from. The LLM reads them automatically when it starts working. These are the house rules for your project or workspace. SKILL.md — the instruction file at the heart of a skill. Tells the LLM what the skill is for, when to use it, and how. ADR (Architecture Decision Record) — a decision written as a rule the AI can apply. Format: what was decided, why, and what to do or not do because of it. ADRs are a development artefact, so most non-technical users don't touch them — but using them can substantially improve the output of your agents. If there's a rule you want the AI to always check its work against → write it as an ADR in a .md file. Any skill or loop can then check its output against the ADR before saving. This is one way of "harnessing" the agent — making sure its output matches what you're actually building, from meeting notes to full products. SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) — the process for a recurring task, written step by step so the AI can follow it. One SOP per repeating job, just like any standard process. The skill running the job reads the SOP for the steps. Note on terminology: The concepts above are fairly universal, but exact names, file conventions, and implementation details vary by tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.). You might see CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, or different triggers depending on which system you're using. Other things you might be reading/hearing: CLI (Command Line Interface) — your terminal or Command Prompt window, where you type commands instead of clicking buttons. Most coding AIs live in the CLI. MCP (Model Context Protocol) — the standard that lets the LLM talk to outside tools and services. Without MCP, the LLM only sees what you paste in. With MCP, it can fetch your Gmail, read a Notion page, update a Google Doc, post to Slack — directly, on its own. How they fit togetherPrompts live inside skills. Skills live inside loops. Loops initiate via hooks or schedules. All of them read .md files — CLAUDE.md for the house rules, SOPs for the process, ADRs for the rules they have to follow. The prompt is the smallest piece. Everything else is a way of wrapping, packaging, or triggering prompts, so you don't have to type them in by hand.These are the concepts. The specifics — where files live, what triggers what, whether you write a loop or call a built-in one — vary by tool. If i've forgotten anything or you need more info let me know. #AgenticAI #AI

  Hot take: Most people don’t want better grammar. They want to stop thinking about grammar. Nobody opens Gmail thinking: “I hope I can fix some commas today.” They just want their messy thoughts to become clear and sendable. Curious where others stand on this: Would you rather have: A) AI that points out mistakes one by one B) One button that instantly makes the entire message clearer

  Your 100-person SaaS company does not need an in-house deliverability engineer. If you are trying to hire one, stop. Email deliverability is getting harder. Gmail and Yahoo change rules. Outbound campaigns are hitting spam & notifications are lagging. A frustrating problem.

  1. The Newsletter Graveyard The Situation: You signed up for a 15% discount code from a trendy mattress company back in 2019. You bought the bed, ignored the emails, and never clicked unsubscribe. What you didn't read in their privacy policy was the clause allowing them to "share data with trusted third-party partners." Fast forward to today, and that single company has legally sold your email to 47 different data brokers, who then sold it to hundreds of affiliate marketers. The Mechanics: Every dormant newsletter in your inbox is a live wire. As long as you are on their list, your data is being refreshed in their CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software, marking your email as an active, deliverable address. The Fix: You need to aggressively audit the graveyard. In your Gmail search bar, type "unsubscribe". You will likely find over 200 active subscriptions you forgot existed. Do not just delete the emails, open them and kill the subscriptions at the source. Each one you sever closes a pipeline that is actively feeding your digital identity to data aggregators.

  @projekt100x If you were a developer, you’d be pissed to be unable to compete with Apple’s own apps. Just think of an email client, would it make sense to you that outlook or Gmail could not access your IMAP server because Apple think Mail is more secure?

  I've been thinking about email infrastructure for AI agents. Email is becoming a platform layer. Agents need reliable identity, sync, and offline-first state. That's architectural complexity most email clients never had to solve. For Spondr, this shapes how I'm thinking about the sync layer. Gmail is system of record, but the agent needs to work offline. That means SQLite caching, conflict resolution, and identity handling that's more like a database than a mail client. Eventually MCP Server and possibly CLI.

  Sending more emails doesn't grow revenue. Sending the right emails to the right people does. This is the mistake brands make when email performance plateaus. Open rates drop. Click rates fall. Revenue per send declines. The instinct is to send more. More campaigns. Higher frequency. More touchpoints. But if the segmentation is broken, more volume just accelerates the damage. Here's what actually happens when you send too broadly: Unengaged subscribers pull down your open rate across the entire account. Gmail and Outlook notice. Inbox placement suffers. Even your best subscribers start missing emails they would have opened. Unsubscribe rates climb. The engaged audience you built gets smaller every send. And the revenue per email drops because you're now dividing campaign performance across thousands of people who were never going to buy. The fix isn't sending less. It's sending smarter. Your engaged segment from the last 30 days should be hearing from you more than your 90-day unengaged segment. Your VIP buyers should be getting different content than your first-time purchasers. Your browse abandoners should be getting something completely different from your post-purchase sequence. Segmentation isn't a nice-to-have. It's what determines whether your emails land in inboxes or spam folders. Whether your list grows or quietly bleeds out. Whether email becomes 35% of revenue or stays stuck at 12%. The brands treating their entire list as one audience are paying for reach they're not getting. And damaging the foundation in the process.

  I'm surprised by the unreasonable effectiveness of giving people a small amount of money. When I launched the "Fast Biology" microgrants, people told me that: 1. You can't do anything in science with $1,000. 2. Nobody would submit good ideas, because good ideas are worth much more than $1,000. #1 is mostly true, and #2 is partially true, but neither is absolute. I did get many excellent ideas, especially from people who are too time-constrained to work on them. In some cases, $1,000 was enough to build an entire prototype (especially in hardware.) There seem to be a few benefits in giving microgrants, though: 1. They can subtly nudge people toward working on problems they normally wouldn't (and this can, in rare circumstances, take them down strange rabbitholes that then change the course of their whole life.) 2. They act as a vote of confidence, making it easier to raise additional funds from other sources. People tend to just follow the examples of others; VCs often copy investments made by other VCs, for example, and giving someone even a fake, made-up award seems to elevate their "prestige" in a tangible way. 3. They allow the funder to find interesting people. Giving out these grants connected me with ~6 super intelligent people who I was not familiar with ahead of time. Small amounts of money are a mechanism to surface talent. I continue to meet people who are working on super important or beautiful problems, and yet who struggle to raise even $10,000+ for their ideas, simply because they are a) bad at explaining their ideas or b) not working on a problem that is clearly VC- or philanthropically-fundable. I'd like to support as many projects as possible. Therefore, in the next week or so, I'll open up another ~$100K in microgrant funding. (When this goes live, you'll hear about it at my new microgrant website, tinybio[dot]org. More people with wealth should consider giving microgrants. If you'd like to do this for biology, but don't have time to allocate funds, I'd be glad to support or advise directly. My email is nsmccarty3 [at] gmail [dot] com.
