  ChatGPT can now read ALL your Gmail accounts at once. Work inbox. Personal inbox. That old one you forgot about. Until this week, it could only see ONE. The rest were locked out. That just changed. And barely anyone noticed. Here's the setup (it's stupidly simple): Go to plugins. Pick Gmail. Click the gear icon. Hit "Connect another account." Sign in. Done. Repeat for as many accounts as you want. Calendar and Contacts work the same way. Now try this one prompt: "Review my emails and give me a summary of the last 3 days." It reads everything. Tells you what matters. Tells you what to handle FIRST. No inbox dread. Just a clean starting point. And the questions that were impossible a week ago: "Find that email from Sarah." Work or personal? Doesn't matter. It checks both. "What do I still owe replies to?" Across every account. One answer. "When am I actually free this week?" Both calendars. The REAL answer. No double-booking. Two smart habits: Start with read-only permissions. Let it summarize first. Open up sending later, once you trust it. And name the inbox you mean. "Work inbox" gets you a clean answer, not a mixed one. The biggest win isn't the summaries. It's never logging out and back in again. Stop checking your inbox. Let your inbox report to you.

  okay, so i was diving into the rollouts generated by qwen3.5 4B, here are some findings (given model has access to only api_search and api_fetch tool at any given point of time) > model is looking to gather information it needs to address query but ends up burning tokens and exhausts upper cap of 50 turns in getting a query that actually returns functions that can help model clear ambiguity. > in the partially succeeded rollout (score this way was 17), where the model did discover the correct tool, it would eventually fail to solve that particular task, eg. - (sales subset) example id 504: Qwen found and used the correct Salesforce update endpoint. It updated the wrong Marcus Wong. - (sales subset) example id 503: Qwen found and used the CampaignMember endpoint. It enrolled prohibited people because it skipped the policy. - (sales subset) example id 1204: even knowing the Facebook photo endpoint does not tell it which image is eligible; it must retrieve Gmail policy + Sheet rows first. so my takeaway is that entire problem breaks down to two subproblems: 1. tool discovery (has to be token efficient) 2. the core policy i.e. Prompt > infer what information is missing > search for a capability to retrieve it (basically 1st subproblem) > call that capability > interpret returned observation > identify what remains uncertain > retrieve more evidence > choose target(s) > execute minimal writes > verify end state > finish the moment we break the problem, it is clear that it is a variant of computer use problem. the model needs to learn the ReACT loop. that's it. that's the optimization objective.

  @mdreinders @bdsams It's pretty garbage for work account use cases as well, at least in my case. It nags you daily with summaries, which are basically just prompts that you could have used yourself from the left sidebar or ribbon menu. Copilot in Outlook is really horrible (overall). It can't find emails. It can't make basic changes to the emails I've written. It simply doesn't follow my instructions most of the time. "Can you just fix grammar" > proceeds to rewrite the entire email. Gemini in Gmail is also pretty trash. I do not understand how AI in email can be so bad, as it's a pretty good use case for AI, imho

  @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...

  cold email explained Low IQ: Get a list of people with the problem. Send them four sentences about the problem and one specific offer. Send a lot of them. Midwit: 40 domains, 120 mailboxes, a rotation schedule, and a spreadsheet tracking mailbox health Warmup tools running permanently at 30 emails/day forever Spintax on every sentence, {{first_name|there}} fallbacks nested three deep "Spam word" avoidance — rewriting "free" and "guarantee" out of copy like it's 2011 Gmail Open tracking on, via a custom tracking domain (open tracking is itself a deliverability liability) AI personalization on the wrong variable: "Noticed you studied at Michigan State — go Spartans!" 9-step sequences ending in "bumping this up," "did this get buried?", and the breakup email 14 micro-ICP segments with bespoke copy for each A/B testing subject lines on 200 sends and declaring a winner Reporting reply rate as the KPI When it doesn't work: buy more data, add more mailboxes High IQ: Precise list, short email, one specific offer, high volume, hygiene done once. Measure meetings held and pipeline, nothing above it.

  Founders think BFCM prep starts in November By then it’s already too late Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook don’t judge your emails on Black Friday. They judge you on what you’ve been doing in the weeks leading up to it The emails you send this month decide whether your November campaigns land in the inbox or rot in spam If you email subscribers who open and click, better placement, more opens, better reputation. The loop pays you If you blast a full list that mostly ignores you, promotions tab, then spam, then a reputation that keeps sliding. The loop bleeds you By the time Black Friday hits, the loop is already locked. You can’t fix it in a weekend What to actually do this month: → Send only to subscribers who opened or clicked in the last 90 days → If above 40% open rate ibcrease to 120 days if less decrease to 60 days → Exclude Marked as spam, unsubscribed, dropped and suppressed atleast once overall time. → Keep sending consistently 3-4 a week, 80% designed, 20% plain text →Clean your list every 2 weeks Black Friday is won in the weeks most founders spend ignoring email

  @JohnBeaudoinSr Wow. Gmail shares attachments with AI, and yesterday, GoDaddy’s Outlook was down for 8 hours. I was unable to log in on my laptop, and the mobile app showed no new emails all day. Looks to me like they don’t want us emailing one another, in preparation for the next thing.

  @joeygems @Stron__ @elenadesaa1999 Your data is cheaper than the infrastructure behind your Gmail account. They can read your emails because it’s their platform; you can set up your own SMTP server or even in fact, you can pay (once again, it’s not free) for an email account with end-to-end encryption.

  @Mikadzyki_NFT Handing off a shift to a stack of workers only holds up if the plumbing actually connects. My own Nanobot instance runs on MiniMax 2.5, and getting a Composio MCP server wired in just for Gmail access ate a stubborn chunk of my week.

  Firstly financial institutions have to inform both regulators and customers about any maintenance. If they don't inform, they could have fines or get sued. 8 hour maintenance doesn't mean 8 hour downtime. All other tech services including AWS, Gmail, etc can have downtimes and not answerable to anyone. No AWS customer ever got any compensation when it went down. Next is most critical financial transactions work through the maintenance (most monetary txns). Even most web or mobile applications work too with concurrency and parallel leg deployment. Lastly, FI have a balance between cost and modernity. They don't need to have every shiny new toy in the market. 50 year old mainframes work perfectly well with just peripheral API stack instead of wholesale cloud migration.

  Gave 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.

  Unsubscribe is them walking out. Spam is them telling the building you're a problem. Unsub hurts a dashboard. Spam hurts the next 10,000 people. Keep blasting people who already wanted out and Gmail starts taking their side. One-click leave. Stop mailing people who never wanted this cadence. I'd rather they walk out than burn the building.

  Shout out to @MailspringApp I installed it last year for a desktop app that had Gmail keyboard shortcuts. I just noticed it has an MCP server now. I don't have to do a song an dance to give my Hermes agent access to various email accounts. I can reference an account and subject when prompting my agent and it can read the email, screenshots, attachments, etc. It can even draft reply emails for me that I can go back an edit and send when I'm ready. Thank you!

  @_avichawla Cutting the redundant layer out of a pipeline is the same instinct I applied to my own inbox. I set up Opencode with a Gmail MCP server to triage which emails actually deserve a reply and read the warmth behind them, authenticated through the gmail-mcp auth step.

  @krainboltgreene @Speedkicks @slime_machine Unfortunately, it's basically impossible to create your own email server. The software and hardware is easy enough to get setup, but the major email service providers (Microsoft Outlook, Google Gmail, contracted emails through those 2) block all but a shortlist of providers.

  @stelzner_n1150 This has to be the stupidest comment ever sorry. 100% of cell phones, smart phones, cable boxes, electric meters, computer usage and email GOES THROUGH DATA centers and always has! Here are the facts: That claim is backwards. The internet and smartphones have always run on data centers (or the same thing under older names: server rooms, colo, hosting farms). What changed is the size, location, and branding — not whether the machines exist. The internet never ran without servers Commercial internet use took off in the early 1990s. From day one it needed: ISP modem banks and backbone routers Web/email/DNS servers Co-location and hosting facilities Those are data centers. Exodus, AboveNet, Equinix, and telco “carrier hotels” were already packing raised-floor rooms with racks in the mid-to-late 1990s. Google’s first big custom plants and Amazon’s early AWS rooms were 2000s expansions of that model, not a new species of building. You could run a static homepage off a PC in a closet. You could not run search, streaming, maps, payments, or “the internet” as people actually used it. Smartphones made the dependence worse, not optional The iPhone shipped in 2007. A phone is a thin client. Almost everything people treat as “the phone” lives off-device: iCloud / Google account sync Maps and traffic App Store / Play Store Gmail, Photos, Drive Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify Siri / Assistant Banking and payments That traffic hits someone’s data center. If those rooms went dark, the glass slab in your pocket would still make calls on a good day and not much else. Twenty years of smartphones is twenty years of more backend compute, not twenty years without it.

  @ArcyloOfficial Get comfy! For me, my Gmail is a connector. This is OAuth into my inbox. Grok can: • search and read mail (body, headers, attachments) • draft replies • send / reply / forward if you grant write/send • label, trash, organize Base hook is often read-only. Send is an extra permission you click on purpose. If you connect it, the bot is sitting in the same box as bank alerts and 2FA codes. That is the whole risk. You can revoke anytime. Grok Bot can also skip my inbox and get its own address (AgentMail / similar plugins). Then it sends and receives from something@….agentmail.to, not from you. I use that if I want an agent that emails people without reading my personal mail. My GitHub OAuth into the GitHub user I sign in as. With the scopes I approve it can: • read public and private repos that account can see • search code, list branches, summarize PRs • open/update issues • create branches, push files, open/review/merge PRs • delete files if write is on Private repos work only if I granted repo (or equivalent) at connect time. Safer pattern: tell it to branch + PR, not push straight to main. Same revoke page. What it cannot do by default • It does not get your password. • It does not stay logged in if you disconnect the connector. • It does not magically see my GitHub orgs I never authorized. • Connecting email does not connect GitHub, and the other way around. Practical rule for me Do not hook personal Gmail if that inbox has 2FA and money mail unless you want an assistant reading it. GitHub is useful if I chose to still keep repos, ask it to show the diff before any write. If you only wanted “what does this button do,” that is the button: it is not a viewer badge. It is a key you can take back. This is what I’m experiencing with learning to use it. It’s different and I’m starting to like it.
