    The best foot in the door with AI is not an “agent” Its truly one cron job via terminal or gui. This will sky rocket your use cases and decrease your token spend and allow you gain measurable ROI from it. As little intelligence as possible for the highest value outcomes is my goal. We learned this after building an entire CRM for my credit advisory firm. Scripts $0 > Intelligence $ Gateway API's that do turn big expensive tasks into micro tasks so we can deploy less expensive models. The highest-ROI part of the system may be the boring script that runs at 6:00 every morning. This saves me SOO MUCH TIME. This new CRM is not a toy or "nice to have" It replaced a legacy CRM and Google Sheets, turns Slack submissions into reviewed deal records, manages contacts, sources, stages, fees, files and history, and uses read-only Gmail activity to keep relationship follow-up current. Slack is the intake surface. A small AI step can extract missing details from an unstructured thread, but it cannot create a deal. It proposes. A human reviews. (me) The database records what happened. Stable rules become software. Ambiguity keeps an approval gate. But the feature that changes the operating rhythm is much simpler: At 6:00 AM Pacific, a scheduled job checks Gmail history from the last saved cursor. It does not reread the entire inbox. It does not ask an AI to “figure everything out.” The job filters spam, trash, newsletters, billing, platform alerts and unrelated business traffic. Then it matches exact known contacts. Unknown or conflicting identities go to a private review queue. Nothing ambiguous silently changes the CRM. Several emails with one person on one day collapse into one another touch. The system updates: • last inbound/outbound • who owes the next reply • how long we have been waiting • the next follow-up date • the deal and source context That is RevOps without b.s: Relationship and top-of-funnel signals live beside the sales pipeline. Slack captures new opportunities. Gmail updates relationship state. The CRM shows what moved, who owns the next step and where revenue can stall. It never sends, labels, moves or deletes an email. It never creates or changes a deal from Gmail. Locks prevent overlapping runs. Cursors prevent rereading. Idempotency prevents duplicates. Retries handle failure. A Health Log records counts, duration and errors. This is not a mockup. Today’s job started at 6:00 AM Pacific and completed successfully. The last 7 scheduled live runs all completed with: 0 AI requests 0 input tokens 0 output tokens $0 in model cost We used AI to help build the system. We do not rent intelligence again every morning for logic that can be encoded once. That is the distinction: Use AI as the engineer. Use scripts as the employees. Use humans for judgment. Your first version does not need a CRM. Open Codex or your terminal and make one workflow run once. Inspect the output. Turn the commands into a script. Run it again. Only then add a schedule. Add reliability in this order: explicit inputs/outputs database or file state cursor/checkpoint idempotency lock + retries review queue audit log UI The interface should sit on top of proven behavior—not compensate for missing behavior. It can run on your laptop, a small server, GitHub Actions, or a cloud scheduler. The infrastructure is not the point. The point is to remove one recurring operational decision, safely, every day. 10 examples: Cold email agency: every morning reconcile replies, bounces, unsubscribes and domain health into one action queue. Alert when bounce rates cross a threshold. Creative agency: list today’s deliverables, missing assets, overdue approvals and the owner of each blocker. Recruiting firm: sync new applicants, interviews and scorecards. Flag interviews missing feedback after 24 hours and candidates stalled for 7 days. Software agency: combine open PRs, failed CI, Sentry errors, Linear blockers and client SLAs into one delivery-risk queue. Paid media agency: pull yesterday’s spend, revenue and ROAS by account. Compare against guardrails and surface only the exceptions. Bookkeeping firm: collect new bills and receipts, apply known vendor rules and send uncertain matches to a review queue. MSP: surface tickets nearing SLA breach, failed backups, expiring licenses and unassigned incidents by account owner. Real estate or debt brokerage: list new leads, missing diligence, lender/borrower follow-ups and opportunities with no touch in 7 days. Ecommerce operator: compare stock, sales velocity, supplier lead times and open POs. Flag only SKUs needing a reorder decision. Content or PR agency: reconcile shipped work, pending approvals, overdue client feedback and distribution metrics into one morning queue. To make it trustworthy, you learn APIs, OAuth, schemas, databases, secrets, time zones, retries, idempotency, permissions, observability and deployment. That foundation transfers to every AI idea after it. Why one cron creates “unlimited” AI ideas: Once one operating loop is visible, every missing field, handoff, exception and decision appears. The second automation becomes obvious. Then the third. Eventually the UI becomes a map of work that already runs. Do not start by asking AI to operate your company forever. Ask it to help you encode one recurring process. -Run it in the terminal. -Schedule it. -Log it. -Review the edge cases. -Add the UI last. CRON JOBS ARE A GATEWAY TO REAL USE CASE AND LESS SPEND, THIS WILL HELP YOU 100X FASTER THAN LEARNING HOW TO DEPLOY CLOUD AGENTS TO DO 100 TASKS WITH A FRONTIER MODEL EATING YOUR POCKETS UP. Scripts > Tokens/Expensive Intelligence

    @praeterproptr @jonasfreund_ I have no personal regrets! Everyone was very supportive :) Maybe the only issue has been email faff. Gmail let me change to .rodriguez, but some sites only recognise the OG email (.base) which has caused mishaps Also I can't change my X handle lol

    I’m creating several Gmail accounts so I can pre-save Evan’s album. I know, guys it’s a hassle to keep talking about this, but it’s necessary. You should do it too; just create as many as you can throughout the day. I use the same password for all of them and just change one digit in the login name, so it’s not too hard. We need to boost those pre-save numbers. Let’s do this for him.

    @Ghenosis The sucky thing is if you have no data or really slow data, you either won't be able to do it or it's going to be drastically slow. But, I can see where they can set limits and if you're one to be recording a lot of video, you most likely already pay for a decent amount of cloud storage. There has to be a reason they upgraded the 2tb tier to 5tb. But, there are plenty of people who shoot on their phones and prefer local back up. I transfer my clips to external storage and every once in a while delete videos from my devices if their just for my channel or things like receipts. My next phase is to build a NAS and get as much off online cloud storage as I can. I don't trust that Google won't be scanning everything that goes to their cloud. I already disabled the Gmail scanning that they enable by default. I guess if you're buying a Pixel, you are accepting that they will get access to your stuff potentially. I just don't like the idea that things that should be basic are so reliant on internet connection.

    Hey @gmail not letting me permanently sort my e-mails by “Most Recent” and it default to “Most Relevant” is not okay. Who are you to deem what’s relevant? What’s relevant is the order in which they are received. I found an e-mail BURIED in bs and ads because of this. FIX IT.

    I thought building AI Email Client would be simple, but I was totally wrong. Currently I am solving this problem: How can a single user add multiple account (gmail) and sync along with proper label analysis of 100k mails.

    Gmail, social accounts, sites that used to block agents: they all work in Agent Zero now. Sign in once, every chat shares your logins. Plus @ tagging for everything, and ACP support so external editors can host A0 directly.

    During the outage, emails were inaccessible and external senders received bounce-backs. I tested from Gmail and Yahoo. A client also received a bounce-back. Namecheap’s CEO @HilanKlein publicly acknowledged the email outage and said affected emails may be delayed. 2/4

    @rjonesy It’s a little better in my experience - but not as robust as it should be. I now setup my email server as Gmail behind the scenes even though my email is still @ Mac. If mail search can’t find it I ask codex.

    @JonBbC_TechGeek Generating proposals and sending compliance docs. It does a great job. It's completely hands-off from incoming email to sent email w/ attachments. I'll have it doing much more very soon. (*Attachments have to be a PDF Google drive link until they get a gmail API issue sorted out. Pdf files will not automatically attach.)

  • ai_for_success
    AshutoshShrivastava (@ai_for_success) reported

    the problem with most email AI is that it only works when you are actively looking at it. you still have to open every thread, click a button, and wait for a generation. Lindy put their agent directly inside Gmail as a Chrome extension so it processes your inbox in the background: summarizes what happened overnight into a morning brief, auto-labels threads, and pre-drafts replies you can tweak in plain English. no new client or migration needed.

    David Morens is GUILTY... no one is above the law. The statute of limitations NEVER runs out on CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. The COVID cartel has one less member... many more need to follow. While the public was told to “trust the science,” behind the scenes Fauci’s own senior advisor was plotting to keep material off the official record: “I can either send stuff to Tony on his private email or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.” They talked about making emails “disappear” before FOIA searches and using personal Gmail accounts so nothing would end up in the New York Times. This was a carefully plotted and managed narrative. It’s time for Morens to expose EVERYTHING about Fauci, as he pushes to get a plea deal.

    @googleaccount I DM'd you with my problem. My 20-year email, that I setup during the Gmail BETA, was compromised. Anybody that posts "Talk to this person" will get reported for a scam. Nobody outside of Google can help me/you. Don't lie.

    Robert Youssef (@rryssf) reported

    Every AI agent that can browse the web eventually hits the same wall. A login screen it has no way past. CitroLabs just open sourced the fix, and it is called Ego Lite. It gives Claude Code, Codex, or any agent its own browser that is already signed into your accounts. Gmail, X, your dashboards, all of it. For the past two years, agent builders solved this the hard way. Paste cookies manually, spin up fresh sessions, fight captchas that flag headless browsers as bots, then watch the whole setup break the next time a session expires. Until now. Ego Lite runs in its own lane on your machine. It shares your logged in session instead of faking one, so the agent skips every login wall and captcha without you touching a cookie. You keep browsing normally while it works in the background. It never touches your main browser setup. The benchmarks are notable: CitroLabs ran it head to head against Vercel's agent-browser on four complex automation tasks. Ego Lite finished each one up to 2.5x faster, using substantially fewer tokens per task. The repo is MIT licensed and fully open source. It crossed 2,500 stars and 121 forks within its first few months, with some trackers later citing figures as high as 6,300 to 9,800 stars as more builders picked it up. It is macOS only for now, Apple Silicon and Intel, with Windows and Linux still on the roadmap. Every agent demo that stalls at a login screen was solving the wrong problem. The session was never the hard part. Getting an agent to skip it was.

    Hi @gmail team I believe I’m experiencing a search indexing issue that prevents me from finding certain emails. Where can I report this? I think it’s more than a classic customer support issue.

    @hfakos @Alonso_GD The sad conclusion: use gmail to reach and be reached by most of people. The one that hinders reachability and rejects mail from private servers. Something similar, or more acute, is the problem with the banks.

  • SophiaOrthoi
    Sophia Orthoi (@SophiaOrthoi) reported

    @hfakos @Alonso_GD Mail can be similar as banking. If you run an email server, gmail classifies mails send from it as spam, even if you comply with their conditions. If you ask them why they do it, you get no answer.
