  @LizzieTao @gmail Well, I would like to see some automations directly in Gmail. Everybody who pays some SaaS or has a fancy agent set up can send automated emails anyway but they are usually spammy and terrible. Why not make actually good automated emails powered by Gemini that create value for all parties? I see a future where my Gmail agent sends another Gmail agent an email and they find a business synergy between my company and another company based on data and facts. The people just sign off the deal and then Gemini integrates our platforms and builds the feature. I’d love that future.

  You’ve probably had one of those days where the work never really starts, no matter how hard you try. A few calls in the morning. Slack pops off constantly. A deck lies, waiting, in one tab with Gmail in another and Canva in the third. You’ve been pulled away for a few “quick check-ins” several times, and you have a meeting in 15, so you can’t really dig into a big task. By the end of the day, you’ve been busy the whole time, but the deep work you really need to do still feels untouched. This kind of interrupted thinking is called “fragmentation”, and there’s plenty of research on it. The most salient point is that fragmentation carries a high cognitive cost. The American Psychological Association notes that even brief mental blocks caused by switching between tasks can consume as much as 40% of one’s productivity. One study, conducted by the University of California, showed that people completed interrupted work faster, but only by compensating with more stress, more frustration, more time pressure, and more effort. You’d think if it were such a widely documented phenomenon that we’d do more to avoid it, but that’s not the case. The workplace is only becoming more fragmented. Microsoft’s 2025 Work Trend Index found that employees are interrupted every two minutes during the workday by meetings, emails, or pings, with 60% of meetings classed as ad hoc. That’s a real problem, no matter your field. Productivity and the flow state many of us strive to achieve requires some element of uninterrupted time to achieve. If your day is constantly being broken into smaller and smaller pieces, you lose the conditions you need to work meaningfully. It comes back to a point we’ve covered recently about your environment: If the work feels flat, don’t just ask whether the team has enough talent or whether the brief is strong enough. Instead, ask what kind of environment the thinking is happening in. If your team is struggling with interruptions, it’s usually an easy place to start overhauling.

  VTuber Research Club (@The_VTRC) reported 18 minutes ago

  An update on everything: John’s personal Discord and Gmail accounts remain unrecovered as of this moment as we wait for support from Discord and Google. None of the accounts of any other VTRC members have been affected. John’s access to our business accounts was also removed before any could be accessed, which includes both the robot platform and our payment platform. As for the VTRC Discord server, the attacker revoked admin permissions for all other accounts. Since John’s account was the server owner, nothing could be done to stop it. The attacker then proceeded to delete any message in the server which attempted to warn everyone else and ban the accounts that posted them. Meanwhile, the attacker posed as John and continued to send direct messages to server members and John’s contacts to spread the malicious file which compromised several people’s PCs. We are currently using a new Discord server since we currently have no way of removing John’s compromised account from our original server. Upcoming events will be posted and conducted in the new server that is now linked to this profile. The Super Battle Golf tournament that was originally scheduled for this weekend will also be in the new server but will have to be postponed due to a staff illness. New dates will be announced soon. Please remain vigilant and stay safe. Those who took John’s account are still at it. Do not click any links or download any files unless you are 100% sure they are safe. Verify the identity of anyone who sends you a message. Make sure who you are talking to is actually who you think you are talking to. If you still have sensitive information in a DM, delete those individual messages immediately. Lastly, we’d like to apologize to everyone. We at the VTRC take pride in the trust many of you have bestowed upon us. We know this is not easily earned, and after recent events, it is only fair that you withdraw such trust. We recognize that we have failed to ensure the safety of our community. We promise to do better and hope our actions moving forward will show our commitment to everyone’s safety and wellbeing. Thank you.

  @nealCS Very likely user error in this case, but that's almost exactly how Google killed Firefox back in the day. When Chrome first launched, Firefox had the majority market share. But then, every now and then, Gmail just wouldn't work with it.

  The Beacon AI (@TheBeaconAI) reported 22 minutes ago

  Google's Gmail integration reveals AI personalization's real consent problem The feature is called Personal Intelligence. The controversy it triggered is about something older and harder to fix. A social media post viewed over 6.5 million times exposed what many users hadn't noticed: automatically opted in to allow Gmail to access private messages to train AI models. Google's response: no policies changed, Gmail content isn't used to train Gemini. Both things can be technically true. Neither one resolved the problem. The actual issue isn't what Google is doing. It's that most users have no accurate mental model of what's happening to their data at any given moment. Personal Intelligence routes existing stored data into AI responses. From a policy standpoint, that's a meaningful distinction. From a user's standpoint, the line between "Google has my email" and "Google's AI is actively reading my email to answer my questions" feels like a different thing entirely. To fully escape AI scanning, users must disable three separate features buried across different menus. The opt-out exists. Finding it requires more technical literacy than most users have. The default state effectively becomes the permanent state for 1.8 billion Gmail users. Users in the EU, UK, and Japan have these features disabled by default. That gap is not an accident. It's regulatory arbitrage in practice. Every AI assistant that gets genuinely useful is one that knows more about you. The usefulness and the privacy exposure scale together. The question the industry hasn't answered is whether meaningful consent is possible at this level of data integration, or whether "opt-in" has become a word that describes a checkbox and nothing more.

  OpenAI just made GPT-5.5 Instant the default ChatGPT model, with fewer false claims, shorter answers, stronger image and STEM handling, and deeper personalization from memory, files, past chats, and connected Gmail. 52.5% fewer hallucinated claims than GPT-5.3 Instant on high-stakes medicine, law, and finance prompts, plus 37.3% fewer inaccurate claims on difficult conversations users had already flagged for factual errors. The model also uses 30.2% fewer words and 29.2% fewer lines in one comparison, which means OpenAI is tuning for answers that explain enough without burying the user in structure. Also, ChatGPT can now pull useful context from saved memories, past chats, files, and Gmail when that context improves the answer.

  Jason Park (@Jason_scales1) reported 33 minutes ago

  the myth: you need gmail/google accounts to get good deliverability. here's what's actually true: google accounts deliver well. nobody disputes that. the problem is cost structure, not performance. if you're running proper cold outreach at scale, google accounts with separate domains will cost you meaningfully more per inbox per month than outlook/azure accounts running equivalent volume. and you still need to buy the domains either way. outlook and azure inboxes, when properly warmed and configured, deliver to primary at comparable rates. the deliverability gap between properly set up outlook infrastructure and properly set up google infrastructure is smaller than most people assume, and significantly smaller than the cost gap. the people pushing google-only are often either: a) not running the volumes where cost per inbox actually matters, or b) selling google workspace setup services the real question isn't gmail vs outlook. it's: is your infrastructure correctly configured regardless of which provider you use? SPF aligned. DKIM signing active. DMARC set. warmup completed. volume within earned reputation. list hygiene maintained. all of that matters more than your inbox provider. by a significant margin. don't let the provider debate distract you from the fundamentals that actually determine where you land.

  best campaigns to run on Google right now for ecom are Demand Gen no search volume ceiling, runs on YouTube, Discover, Gmail, way less saturated than Meta, and the brands spending $100k/mo on it are seeing CPAs that would have been impossible on those surfaces 2 years ago but I keep having the same conversation with brands who tried it and said it didn't work and every single time it's the same thing, they sent cold YouTube traffic straight to a product page these people were not searching for you. you interrupted them mid scroll. a product page built for someone who typed "buy protein powder" into Google is not built for someone who was watching a fitness video and saw your ad sales pages. advertorials. problem aware copy that earns the click before it asks for the sale the format works. most brands just send traffic to the wrong destination and blame the format

  Synta search data is showing where automation demand is leaking. Last week’s top internal searches: Slack: 87 Gmail: 63 Drive: 39 Webhook: 35 HTTP: 33 Sheets: 33 That is not a tool list. It is a map of workflows people keep failing to connect. The expensive pattern usually looks like this: Slack has the decision. Gmail has the customer request. Drive has the file. Sheets has the source of truth. A webhook or HTTP call is the bridge nobody wants to own. If you sell automation, start there. Do not ask “what AI agent do you want?” Ask: 1. Which app holds the request? 2. Which app holds the record? 3. Which human copies between them? 4. How many times does that happen each week? 5. What breaks when the copy is late or wrong? A 4-minute handoff running 300 times/month is 20 hours/month before errors. At £25/hour, that is £500/month of admin drag sitting inside one boring integration. The best workflow offers usually come from the apps people already search for. Slack to Gmail. Gmail to Sheets. Drive to CRM. Form to webhook. Webhook to owner review. Find the repeated bridge. Name the owner. Add the fallback. Store proof it ran. That is where the build becomes worth paying for.

  gmail works mainly on SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) for sending an email and smtp was designed as decentralised internet protocol and not a centralised messaging system. recipients of the mail can choose to use any of the available servers (gmail, outlook, yahoo, etc) when you send an email, gmail no longer owns the data/control. a copy of the email is sent to the recipient server (which gmail is not in control of) and hence you cannot delete the email you sent. the ‘undo’ option we usually see just delays the transmission of that email by a few secs, so you are technically not deleting it then but rather just cancelling it from being sent.

  @Nonnalin @techdevnotes Thanks for reporting this. The Gmail connector's delete/trash actions are indeed broken right now due to API errors like "411 Length Required" on the integration side. Revoking/reconnecting hasn't resolved the write permissions yet. We're actively fixing it—appreciate you sharing the details.

  Serious question: Can anybody show me something really useful and worthwhile they made with Agent Studio and Gmail? So far, I have to say it's been a disappointment. But I am prone to thinking that this is more of a user error than the actual solution.

  If you are drowning in tender documents every week, steal this Claude + Gmail formula: Tenders sitting in your inbox. Unopened. Unsorted. Forgotten. Here is what I built in 30 minutes: A Claude + Gmail + Airtable setup that reads every tender email, pulls the key data, and writes it straight into a CRM. Project name. Deadline. Scope summary. All there. Set it to run weekly. No manual entry. No missed tenders. No inbox chaos. Here's why this works: → Tender tracking is the first thing that breaks when a team gets busy → Missing a deadline because it got buried in email is a revenue problem, not a workflow problem → The setup connects tools you already use. Gmail and Airtable. Claude is the bridge. → 30 minutes to build. It runs itself after that. The firm down the street is not sorting their inbox by hand anymore. Are you still doing it manually? Comment TENDER and I will show you exactly how to build this. PS: Your next project is already sitting in your inbox. The question is whether you find it before the deadline passes. #construction #AI

  Stop copy-pasting between Claude & 7 other apps. These connectors do it for you (in 1 click): Step 1. Go to Claude .ai. Step 2. Open Settings. Step 3. Click 'Connectors' → 'Browse Connectors.' Now connect these 7 (+ prompts to use for each): Connector 1. Gmail. Clear your inbox without reading every email. Prompt: "Summarize my unread emails from this week & flag the 3 I must reply to today. Connector 2. Google Calendar. Find time & cut useless meetings. Prompt: "Find 30 free minutes with Sarah next week. Then list meetings I should cancel." Connector 3. Notion. Stop digging through pages you wrote 5 days ago. Prompt: "Search my Notion for everything about the Q3 launch. Summarize it." Connector 4. Google Drive. Find any doc in seconds. Prompt: "Find the latest version of the pitch deck in my Drive. Summarize the key slides." Connector 5. Granola. Turn meeting notes into action. Prompt: "From yesterday's call, list every decision made & every next step assigned to me." Connector 6. Canva. Idea → visual in minutes. Prompt: "Turn this post into a 5-slide LinkedIn carousel. Use my brand colors." Connector 7. Gamma. Prompt → full deck. Prompt: "Turn my Q3 report into a 10-slide presentation. Handle the structure & design." ✦ Here's why most people never use connectors: "I'll just paste this email into Claude." "I'll copy that Notion page over." "I'll re-type the meeting notes from memory." 5 minutes per task. 50 tasks per week. 4 hours gone. Every single week. That's like owning a car & pushing it down manually. The car works. You're just not turning it on. I built a no-code custom workspace builder for you to build your own client portals around this.

  Something interesting just happened. I had an issue with my Gmail connector. Instead of Googling random articles or asking someone how to fix it, I let ChatGPT with Computer Use diagnose the problem, guide the reconnect flow, verify the permission issue, and confirm it was fixed. This feels like a behavior shift. Before: Google first → try random fixes → ask senior if stuck. Now: Ask AI agent first → let it inspect, act, verify → escalate only if needed. Change that AI not replace "search engine" but more than that, its become our partner to help our daily, board not only on code but on daily life. Now with Codex on Chrome, Excel, we can ask them to create template for daily life. But it also raises a new question: Are we becoming faster thinkers, or are we slowly outsourcing the habit of thinking?
