  And there is an even bigger strategic idea which government can implement. If India wants domestic messaging companies to succeed without banning WhatsApp, the best government intervention isn’t “Please download Indian apps.” It is interoperability and portability. Think about mobile phones. If Airtel subscribers could only call Airtel subscribers, Airtel’s network effect would be enormous. But because an Airtel number can call Jio or Vi, companies compete on service instead of holding users hostage through their social graph. Email works similarly. Gmail users can email Outlook users. Imagine an open messaging standard where: Arattai ↔ another Indian messenger ↔ eventually WhatsApp/other compliant platforms could exchange basic encrypted messages with user consent. Then a new messaging company wouldn’t need 500 million users on day one. That would fundamentally change the competitive structure. There are serious technical, spam, identity, encryption and regulatory problems to solve, so it isn’t something Zoho can unilaterally impose on WhatsApp. But Indian government could encourage open messaging standards and data portability rather than bans. I think that’s a much healthier form of digital sovereignty. 3/4

  The Pricing Page Says Everything. Except the Number. Everyone covered the Grok Bot expansion: Pro+ and Plus tiers, free trials, access for all. Yet most observers missed the real story. This isn't an access announcement. It is a case study in selling a percentage of a secret. The Numbers Behind the Hype • $60/month Pro+ — five checkmarks on the page, zero quantities • 48% of the weekly pool gone in under a day — a Pro+ user, day one • 14 hours — how long a $300 Heavy user's week lasted cleaning up Gmail • ~30 distinct users reporting 1–2 day burnouts in the first week • 1 documented spend cap: "There is no Grok Bot-specific spend cap yet" A weekly allowance with no published size is not a plan—it is a percentage of a secret. Three Takeaways from the Fine Print 1. "Usage Included" Is Doing All the Work Every subscription on earth sells a quantity. This page sells a vibe. Users only ever see a percent of an unstated pool, and they're publicly begging @cursor_ai and @xai for the number. When your customers reverse-engineer your pricing with spreadsheets—one measured ~247M tokens for the whole weekly pool—opacity isn't a bug in the pricing page. It is the pricing page. 2. You Pay for What the Filter Deletes Failed generations count. Server errors count. One user lost half a week to errors that returned nothing. Another went to sleep at 2% and woke at 100% with no clients open. In what other industry do you pay full price for the meal the kitchen refused to serve—then get told an audit view is "coming"? 3. The Funnel Got Wider. The Pool Did Not. Today's expansion added Pro+, Plus, and every Teams plan. What it didn't add: quota, spend controls, or a number on the page. Two subscriptions still don't stack—you get the max of two pools, never the sum. Widening the funnel into an opaque pool isn't growth. It's a queue for the same complaint. The Founder's Dilemma: The Number or the Vibe Every usage-based founder faces this fork: publish the allowance and let value do the selling, or hide the denominator and let the meter do the surprising. The winning pitch: "Here's exactly what a week of my usage buys." The losing pitch: "Weekly usage included. Amount: nowhere." If your pricing page needs an FAQ that says "not yet" on spend caps, you didn't ship a plan. You shipped a meter without a denominator—and that's not a limit, it's a mood. So—what's a subscription worth when the customer can't know what they bought? If you found this breakdown useful, follow for more insights on the shifting AI subscription landscape.

  I'm sick of Google's constant privacy grab. Signing into gmail now means auto signin into Chrome. And they make your life miserable if you try to prevent it. Also, NO I WILL NOT TAKE A SELFIE. This denigrating practice has to stop. If this ever becomes mandatory I will switch.

  @clairevo @openclaw I used to do the same - all my claws have their own identities. I kept running into a series of Gog issues for Gmail connectors and just could not resolve. So thought of going down the eve route.

  @kevvOH_ It's time we went passowrdless. Sign up page, password recovery, login with passwords are the major security risk, especially when dealing with your own domain. Make it passowrdless, export the risk to accessing Gmail or the Microsoft blue team for login OTPs

  One malicious link made Copilot silently drain connected Gmail and Drive accounts. Microsoft took months to fix it, server side, invisible to every customer. The lesson is not that AI is unsafe. It is that you cannot audit a black box you rent.

  Skill, connector, subagent, hook. Four ways to extend an AI agent, and most people pick by whichever word they heard first. Pick by what is working failing instead. An agent does not know how to work → skill. : A folder of written instructions it loads when relevant, or you invoke by name. Your proposal format, your brand voice, your QA checklist. It cannot reach your tools → connector. : Notion, Gmail, HubSpot, your database. That is reach, not judgment. It runs out of room/context → subagent. : A side task in its own fresh context window. That is exactly why it cannot see your conversation, and why you have to brief it properly. It only does the thing sometimes even if i tell it → hook. : Fires on an event, not on the model's judgment. Every single time. The trap is reaching for one when the problem is another. A skill will not get you data. A connector will not teach it your method. And there is a fifth failure none of the four touch: it starts every run knowing nothing about the last one. That is a memory problem, and it needs a different answer.

  A list with 500 genuinely engaged subscribers will outperform a list with 5,000 loosely relevant ones on every metric that connects to revenue. Not because 500 is a better number. Because engagement quality determines inbox placement, and inbox placement determines whether the email gets seen, and whether the email gets seen determines whether any of the other decisions matter. The 5,000-subscriber list with 40% disengagement is sending to 2,000 people who are either not opening or not clicking, dragging the aggregate engagement signal down for every send. Gmail sees this. The inbox placement for the whole list reflects the behaviour of the disengaged portion. The 500-subscriber list where 80% click regularly sends a strong positive signal on every send. Inbox placement stays high. The engaged subscribers reinforce the reputation that makes the next send land well. The number that matters is not total subscribers. It's the percentage of total subscribers who are genuinely engaged, and whether that percentage is growing or declining as the list grows. If the list is growing and the engagement percentage is declining, the growth channel is importing dilution, not subscribers.

  Matt Shumer just got a Gmail banned because an agent was using it. This one made me pause, because honestly I'm guilty of the same thing. My bots run on the same Gmail my clients reply to. It works great right up until the day it doesn't, and xAI's own docs are clear that every bot on your account shares the same logins. One eager bot, one weird email, and it's not the bot that gets flagged, it's the domain. So that's my fix for this week: the bots get their own mailbox, and the inbox clients reply to goes back to being mine. Everyone shows the agent demo. Nobody shows the blast radius.

  @BookSpotlight Spam filtering is getting spotty, too. Like, Gmail lets you flag addresses as VIP... but they can still end up in the spam folder. It's unbelievable how we get these egregious errors in tech now that just waft along.

  @paz_al3x @paz_al3x 52 here. Framing houses for 30 years. No CS degree. No engineering background. Just someone who knew exactly what the problem was because I live it every day on the job site. This week I built a voice-to-invoice app that emails a professional PDF to a customer before I back out of their driveway. Whisper transcribes what I say. Local AI parses the line items. Gmail delivers it. All running on hardware I built myself. Same thing you said. AI didn't make me an engineer. It made the capability accessible to someone who already knew what needed to be built. The domain knowledge was always there. Now I can finally do something with it.

  @suganthan So if you’re on apple I made a cli that agents can work with apple mail and then it avoids most of them. You need gmail login for creating drafts for replying to emails but other than that you avoid 90% of it

  The $200-a-month assistant was the only real fix for inbox overload. Then inference costs collapsed. Mailcrest is an always-on AI triage agent — sorts Gmail and Outlook by urgency, drafts replies, pushes priorities to your phone, sends a daily summary. Live soon.

  1/5 The Journey of an Email 📧 When we press Send, Gmail doesn't simply send the email directly to our friend. Instead, the email goes through several systems before reaching the inbox. The journey: Sender → Gmail → DNS → Recipient Mail Server → Inbox The recipient's mail server stores the email until the recipient connects and checks their inbox. Email uses a store-and-forward architecture — messages are stored by mail servers and delivered asynchronously.

  @AjioCares @AjioCares customer service is a total waste of time. I provided exact delivery proofs via Gmail and filed an NCH complaint, but their social team just loops bot scripts and fake T&Cs. They owe me ₹200 and refuse to fix it. Don't waste your time referring friends here!

  @GrowTrackr At 3 of 12 the DM route will be slow, r/AndroidClosedTesting and r/AndroidAppTesters move much faster since everyone there is filling the same count. Also worth knowing that "in review" and the 14 days aren't sequential, the counter starts once the closed test build is approved and 12 are opted in, so get people lined up now rather than waiting. The Gmail they send you has to be the account actually signed into the Play Store on their phone, that mismatch is the usual reason a link comes back as unavailable. And take 15 or 16, dropping under 12 restarts the clock and the Console numbers lag 2 to 3 days. Full disclosure, I work with Prime Test Lab, the paid route if DMs stay slow.

  @bot the UI is great and it seems it can handle tasks. But in reality it is having trouble to do simple task like attaching a pdf and send via Gmail. And when it fails it just drops the task.

  Rohil Agarwal (@rohil_ag) reported 56 minutes ago

  @GaddipatiHarsha @ksw_arman Honestly a ton of it comes down to efficiency. Gmail is processing billions of emails per day, and at that scale you can’t just throw an expensive LLM call at every email (not to mention the hundreds of other things the servers have to detect, e.g. spam). Even if something costs a fraction of a cent per email, the compute + cost would be nuts But the move for email clients/startups just gotta be to do things that dont scale until that becomes an issue The other big difference is gmail has to cater to 5 year olds learning how to read, startup bros, retired seniors, and everything in between. Making a feature intuitive for basically every person imaginable is hard

  @mattshumer_ @agentmail I just had mine tap into the brevo api and if we do any sending it goes through brevo. Not using a mass email provider for sending is crazy at this point given how blacklist happy exchange and yahoo/gmail have gotten. You could do the same thing with any of the other mass email providers (Sendgrid etc). Takes 5 min to set up the account. Leverage APIs as much as possible to save on tokens. Many of the marketplace plugins are fine, but too many are nerfed and you are not able to leverage the full power of the service without full API access. You can also have the agents write custom plugins to leverage more local resources (your actual computer). In my case I have them running most of the google apis via python on my computer so we cut down token usage. The sky is the limit here.
