Corentin (@corxntyn) reportedThe easiest way I've found to make Hermes much more powerful is Composio. Hermes already has a browser, terminal, files, memory, cron jobs, etc. The problem is that most of my actual work lives inside Gmail, Google Calendar, Granola, Slack, ClickUp, GitHub and a bunch of other apps. Composio gives your Hermes access to more than 1,000 apps through one MCP connection. This opens up requests like: "Find the email about this project, check my calendar and draft a reply with 3 available times" "Read this Slack thread, turn it into a ClickUp task. Assign it to X and set the due date for next week" "Research this lead, find our previous conversations, draft an offer and host it on our server" Hermes searches Composio for the exact action it needs. If an account is not connected yet, it gives you an OAuth link. Simple as that. You don't have to manually build a separate integration for every app or load thousands of tools into every conversation. Just send this to Hermes: "Open composio․dev/hermes and set up Composio for me. Once connected, find the apps and workflows that would be most useful based on how I use Hermes." That's it!

Kefayatullah Khadem (@kefayatkhadim) reported@PPRGamers @grok That's the requirement in a nutshell, though a couple of details worth adding to your ask so you don't lose people. Collecting Gmail addresses is step one, but each tester still has to actually opt in through your closed testing link, adding emails alone doesn't register them. And they need to keep the app installed and open it occasionally across the 14 days, not just download once. Also grab more than 12 as a buffer, since if active testers drop below 12 the clock can effectively restart, which is the last thing you want on day 12. Testing exchange subs like r/AndroidClosedTesting are good for finding committed folks. And if the spread-the-word route gets patchy on holding people the full window, Prime Test Lab handles the tester side so you can lock in the 14 days without chasing anyone down.

𝔽𝔼ℝℤ (♞,♞) (@ferz_erz00) reportedyou might not have noticed this, but, every blockchain app today makes a silent choice that most developers don't think about until it's too late; and it's, you pick a chain, you deploy your contracts, you build your community, and in doing so, you've decided that every user on every other chain doesn't get to use what you built. that's not a technical limitation, it's just how the ecosystem is currently structured, and everyone has accepted it as normal. @PushChain is built on the premise that it doesn't have to be that way. it's a Layer 1 where developers deploy once and immediately become compatible with every supported chain; Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, and more. a user on Solana and a user on Ethereum can interact with the same app, the same smart contract, the same state, without either of them bridging or switching chains. the app never needs to know or care what chain the user came from. the three primitives that make this work are any-chain transactions, wallet abstraction, and universal fee abstraction. any-chain transactions means the routing between chains is handled at the protocol level, not the application level. wallet abstraction means users can connect with MetaMask, Phantom, Coinbase Wallet, or even a Gmail account, no new wallet, no seed phrase. fee abstraction means the "you need ETH for gas" problem is gone; users pay in whatever token they already hold on whatever chain they're already on. the practical implication is that the addressable user base for any app built on Push Chain isn't one chain's community. it's every wallet across every supported chain simultaneously. that's not a marketing claim, it's what the architecture actually enables. built an interactive product experience with a live universal app simulator showing exactly how a user from any chain onboards to a Push Chain app, without bridging, without friction. powered by @goldrushdev .

VC Intern (@the_vc_intern) reportedAndrew Ng’s previous open-source project made AI models interchangeable. AI Suite gives developers one interface for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and other providers. Switching models can be as simple as changing a name in the code. The project now has more than 15,000 GitHub stars. OpenWorker began inside AI Suite. Ng has now separated it into a complete AI coworker built around the same idea. Ask it to prepare a customer brief and it can search your files, Gmail, Slack and HubSpot, assemble the information and return a finished document. Ask it to fix your calendar and it can identify conflicts, propose changes and wait for permission before editing anything. It can create spreadsheets and web pages, respond when mentioned in Slack and run recurring tasks such as morning briefs or weekly reports. More than 25 integrations are included, with MCP support for adding others. Users bring their own model key. OpenWorker can run on GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen and several other providers. If one becomes cheaper or better next month, the model can be changed without rebuilding the agent’s integrations and workflows. Ollama allows the model itself to run locally. The agent loop, conversations and credentials live on the user’s computer. Data leaves through the model providers and external tools the user selects. Its permission system separates preparing work from committing an action. Sending a message, modifying a calendar or executing a command requires approval. Scheduled tasks place those decisions in an inbox until the user returns. The repository is MIT-licensed, allowing startups to fork the complete coworker and build specialized versions for sales, recruiting, finance or legal work. That changes what an AI-coworker company can defend. Model access alone is insufficient when users can supply and replace the model themselves. The durable value has to come from workflows, reliability, permissions, compliance and distribution. AI Suite made the model call portable. OpenWorker is trying to make the coworker portable around it. The model can change. The work it has learned to perform does not have to.

HVAC SEO (@HVACSEO) reportedGoogle is retiring the Local Services Ads dashboard! Over the next several months, every home service business running LSAs gets migrated into Google Ads as a Performance Max campaign built for pay-per-lead. The name is misleading. It does not run on YouTube, Gmail, or Display. Still Search and still Maps. Still the same ad positions. Still pay-per-lead, not pay-per-click. Still key wordless, meaning it goes off of your services on the linked google business profile What carries over: your "verified badge", your past leads, your message history, your old call recordings. If you are already verified, no insurance or license reverification What does not carry over: your performance reports. The day you migrate, the old dashboard redirects to Google Ads and your historical reports are gone. Export them before your date or lose them to the google black hole Heres what's changing Manual bidding is deprecated. Google's automated bidding sets your cost per lead now Vertical Target CPA is gone. You get one campaign-level target across every service, so if you want to bid HVAC different than plumbing you need a separate campaign for each Your weekly budget is divided by 7 into a daily average Monthly spend is capped at that daily number times 30 No more BBB callouts Add at least 6 structured callouts in the assets tab or you blend into the pack Your profile is tied to your ads tighter than ever. Change your name, address, or primary category on your Business Profile and it can pause your campaign for 24 to 48 hours while Google reviews it The timeline on all of this starts next month! Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, appliance repair, house cleaning, lawn care, roofing, pest control, and moving. Service-area and custom setups late 2026. Everyone else in 2027. You get one email 14 days out, a reminder 7 days later, and up to two weeks for performance to settle after you move. What to do before migration day -Export your Local Services Ads reports now. They do not carry over, and the dashboard is gone the day you migrate -Record your current cost per lead for each service, so you can tell if it moves after the switch -If you bid different amounts by trade, build a separate campaign for each one. A single campaign means one target across every service -Add at least 6 structured callouts in your assets tab. They replace the BBB callout you are losing. Overall, I see this as a good thing. LSA has been broken for new accounts for a while now. I'm hoping this will allow some of the newer accounts to have a chance at bidding because the last six months have not been kind to many new accounts, especially in competitive areas

Ankit Pandey (@iamankitpande) reportedMy friend lost his Google account today. Then his entire digital life started disappearing. At first, he thought it was just Gmail. He was wrong. Years of emails. Google Drive. Photos. Calendar. YouTube. He had also used Google to sign in to X, LinkedIn, and dozens of other apps and websites. In a matter of minutes, he lost access to almost everything tied to that account. Watching him realize how much of his life depended on a single login was honestly terrifying. It made me wonder... Have we made a huge mistake by trusting one company with our entire digital lives? Or is that simply the price of convenience?

Ryan J. Shaw (@RyanJamesShaw) reportedWeek 3 of building a local newsletter: - sent my 3rd issue out to 59 subscribers (up by 28 since previous issue, a 90% week-on-week growth rate!) - open rate is 44% after 10 hours, which I think is pretty decent - 1 person unsubscribed 🥺 - I made it look way nicer, I think - current distribution strategy is sharing on WhatsApp groups, asking friends to do the same, and talking about it everyone I meet (only 1 person was dismissive!) - word-of-mouth is unpredictable and I'm getting nervous that the newsletter won't grow over the next week - so I'm considering printing business cards/A3 flyers with a QR code and leaving it at local hotels; might also do FB/IG ads, but more out of curiosity to understand the CAC so I sympathize with my future partners - my pain points remain sifting through the volume of posts, and editing it down to <= 95KB so gmail doesn't clip; I have a plan for both of these

Kefayatullah Khadem (@kefayatkhadim) reported@ClipX0_ Clean setup, using a form to collect Gmails then sending invites is a tidy way to manage the list. Good luck shipping ClipX. One thing worth reinforcing to people who fill out the form: submitting their Gmail is step one, but they still have to actually opt in through the test invite link once they get it and keep the app installed the full 14 days to register as active toward production. Grab more than 12 as a buffer since dropping below 12 active can effectively restart the clock. And if the form route gets patchy on holding people through the full window, Prime Test Lab handles the tester side so you can lock in the 14 days without chasing anyone down.

Matthew Tse (@MatthewTse_) reportedWe combat spam at @ImprovMX. I used to be on the other end too, complaining about ineffective gmail spam filters. The difficulty comes down to incentive. Your everyday user sends email for free and just expects it to work. Scammers make more money by adapting their scam mail "just right" so it makes it past the latest spam filters and successfully scams users. So every time we tighten the spam algorithm just a bit, we get a flood of angry users complaining that their poorly crafted emails (missing DKIM, DMARC, poor subject lines/content, etc.) got spam filtered, and they're not going to make their emails look more legitimate. Whereas the scammers are gonna spend 24/7 watching and adapting to the latest spam algorithms. The incentivized side is going to continue to win.

Krishna Singh (@krishnasinghdev) reportedI've reached a point where I genuinely don't trust Gmail's account recovery system anymore. Why does Gmail sometimes keep sending verification codes to the very email account I'm locked out of, instead of offering the option to receive an OTP on my verified phone number? Other times, it asks me to verify using a device I stopped using years ago, with no practical alternative. The most frustrating part is the lack of a way to contact a real support team. There seems to be no process where you can submit proof that you're the legitimate owner of the account—whether it's identity documents, recovery information, or any other evidence. For many of us, a Gmail account isn't just an email address. It's connected to years of personal memories, important documents, banking, work accounts, photos, and countless other services. Losing access can feel like losing a part of your digital life. I understand that strong security is important, but a recovery system should also be practical for legitimate account owners. Right now, it feels like the system can lock out the real owner while offering no meaningful way to resolve the issue. Has anyone else experienced this? Were you eventually able to recover your account, or did you lose access permanently? I'd really like to hear other people's stories and what worked for them.

Alex H (@alex_harl) reported@lydiahallie Improve the classifier. Mid work model switches lose in context knowledge, rely on perfect commits to not lose state, it’s tiresome having to keep mds of Fable hazards per repo (which part of codebase or tasks are not for Fable), handing off to Opus adds translation and reduces accuracy, compacts to return Fable are lossy. Classifier needs to infer from session context - long horizon potentially destructive actions are allowed for days then Fable switched on some keyword or even commits for work done by Opus*. Usage stats to show entire session not since last restart, nice to have would be /usage like codex - lifetime tokens, streaks. Don't enable by default all/never used MCPs in new CC sessions, not turn off all claude-ai MCPs but having to manually turn off individual ones like Gmail. Ability to send feedback without handing over the session - How is Claude doing do you want to share a session y/n freeform feedback no session grab. The new in-app permissions prompts are welcome and supersede a ~year of manual fudging to achieve the same, does this clone the repos to CC web, and can it be applied to older instances? We had /remote and that cloned, since last week permission prompts are in app but only new sessions. What is intended for older ones? Statusline to display what we are working on in already available text area but without us needing hooks + notes per session, you already have a recap which doesn't quite fit more work oriented (or as CC puts it a living work-coherence model). Ultraplan to not handoff to cloud repos that are not workable there, anything with secrets or session inheritance or specific permissions to systems not accessible from cloud. Native channels / messages between instances, not durable like custom MCPs (example agent mail). Cursor on Windows rendering is terrible if moved between different size screens, the entire session other than last page gets mangled as narrow text but codexes don't - sessions render properly. I don't use Cursor on Mac or move it about to test. *3 days Fable run to analyse my Databricks, ADO repos, my Az session inheritance, Databricks CLI, all pipelines, notebooks, jobs, warming up clusters and querying data - objectively a vast blast radius but that is my call. Classifier fires because some baby data engineer left a secret in a notebook 😭. How is that balanced? Equally ability to analyse own codebases for security should be a job for Fable.
