anshuman (@athletic_coder) reportedokay, 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.

Matt Wright (@MattWrightMCT) reportedEvery business that reaches seven or nine figures has an aha moment. Mine came two hours into day one. An aha moment is when you find the one thing that gives your business an edge. For Facebook, it was working out that a new user who made seven friends in their first ten days was unlikely to ever leave the app. So that became the only number the company chased. For Gmail, it was working out that somebody typing their password was almost certainly about to open their inbox, so they started loading it right then and killed the wait everybody else was making you sit through. At Cars4Us, it came two hours after we opened the doors, when I bought the first car and two things were obvious. Buying cars was far easier than I'd assumed it would be. And what made that bloke say yes had far more to do with how fast we moved than with the price I gave him. Everything else about us was worse. We were four people using a cheap transport company, and nobody had ever heard our name. He sold to us anyway, because we got to him first. That was the edge. Speed. I couldn't be bigger than my competitors on day one and I couldn't outspend them. But I could be the quickest, and that was the one area nobody was competing in. So the whole company got built on that. Enquire at 9:30 in the morning, inspector standing at your car by 1pm, money in your account by 4. Within 60 days we were the largest online car buying company in the country. So stop trying to be better at everything, because that's the one game every competitor in your market is already playing. Go and find what your industry is slow at, and own that instead. (And yes, I used the F1 car pick because I'm talking about speed here)

Get video calling, typing indicators, payments through GPay, location sharing, and more. Default to SMS and RCS with no Gmail account. Polished and uniform. @GoogleDesign

Steven Pu (@reedvoid) reported@pitdesi Summer of 2004 I built an app that used gmail attachments as cloud file storage, I called it Goggles. I showed it to a few classmates who worked at Google, they told me to shut it down immediately b/c I'll get sued. Keep wondering what've happened if I didn't listen.

Chaotic (@Chaotic_sama) reported@MRHarleyson Both cases I submitted is close, I told Discord supports (on Direct message Twitter/ X) and the support ticket about my gmail have been also hacked that I have no way to sign in. I told them that the gmail account have been hacked and brushed me off that (1/2)

Mathieu (@mathlleu) reportedLinkedIn bought the best Gmail extension ever made. Then killed it. Twice. 2012: LinkedIn buys Rapportive for a reported $15M. The sidebar showed you who any email sender really was. Salespeople used it for something else entirely: type a guessed email into Gmail, and if Rapportive lit up, the address was real. 2017: rebranded into "Sales Navigator Lite for Gmail". 2020: shut down. Official reason: low adoption. Then it happened AGAIN. The most recommended replacement, Clearbit Connect, died in April 2025. (HubSpot bought Clearbit, and that was that.) Rapportive died twice. The job never did. Find a work email, prove it's real before you hit send. People did that by hand, address by address, in the To: field. Today it's verification against live mail servers, and if the lookup misses, you don't pay. We wrote up which famous "Rapportive replacements" are actually still alive in 2026. The graveyard is longer than you think. Link in the replies 👇

The Valehart Project (@ValehartProject) reported@nicdunz It's cool. You can just utilise the bug in their billing to get access to other accounts that they won't fix despite it being on the dev forums. I used this on a Gmail account to "breach" my own business account for a proof of concept to get them to fix it. Didn't need to provide consent or anything. Just sitting there draining my own business account via a gmail.

Amine (@halalmails) reportedFounders 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

David Marlow (@theikigaiguy) reported@DavidAvromBell Got a similar email today. Must say, it was well written. If not for the gmail address and an error in the Instagram account name I might have thought it was real.

Mayank Parmar (@mayank_jee) reported@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

Tony Tong | Founder | Ancient Systems x AI (@tonytonggg) reported@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.

Bhagyesh (@bhagyeshsp) reportedMost of the SaaS software we use have a major flaw in them and most people aren't aware of it. I'm not going to breadcrumb you to read the full writeup. The main flaw is that there's no pause button. We can't pause our account. That's it? You might think. But think about all the SaaS software you use on a daily basis, which is almost 100% of all software. Take an example of Gmail workspace. If you've been using it (which is a SaaS), the moment you stop paying, your account access is gone. And if you don't pay the subscription (aka ransom), you lose your data and work. All modern SaaS platforms are aimed at keeping revenue alive. And I understand that economic need. But that doesn't mean I agree with this practice. That is the reason, for all my clients at Sisyphus Consulting, one of the most important filters used in services and advisory is: can we press breaks without losing data? That is one of the problems I wanted to address. So, we launched Self-hosted Software Management service almost a year back. It is our end-to-end service helping businesses setup, scale and maintain their own open source applications and servers. The ability to pause the whole setup, stopping the monthly billing and still retaining ownership of the accumulated data, is one of the things that I'm proud of offering. The interesting matter is that, most of us do not think about this. Because none of the major SaaS providers offer this pause button. What we don't see, we don't think about. Out of sight, out of mind. For example, have you thought about having your free Gmail account emails having physically backed up on your own device or server? I too, hadn't thought about it few years ago. We build our entire work and life around a Gmail account and we don't even think about owning our emails. Almost a year back, finally I switched to Thunderbird, backed up all of 10k+ emails of past decade in a readable, open format. Now I have no worries about Gmail going down tomorrow. It is crazy how many things the modern SaaS business model has taken away from us: ownership, longevity, interoperability and joy of using the same tools for years.

Pers (@0xPerser) reportedGave 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.

Daryl Mendoza (@darylemb1) reported@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.

Lee Schmidt (@leeschmidt123) reportedLocal open source agents and models will never be both (a) runnable on consumer hardware, and (b) as intelligent as frontier models. Seems to be something forever stuck as an indie toy for tinkerers, like running an email server in your basement instead of using gmail. And if you're using OAI or Anthropic models, I don't see a benefit in using an open source agent harness - just use CC, Codex, Grok, etc.
