Gaurav Kukkar (@gauravkukkar02) reported@gmail Even though your old email works as an alias, make a checklist to update your primary login for important third-party services—like your bank accounts, food delivery apps, and social media handles. Bookmark this thread for when the feature hits your account! 📌

Nick Puru (@NicholasPuru) reportedEVERYONE INSTALLING AI AGENTS IS SKIPPING THE ONLY STEP THAT MATTERS. They download the tool. They connect gmail, the calendar, the whole stack. Then they ask it to write something in their voice and it hands back generic slop. So they decide agents don't work. the tool was never the problem. you gave it access and called that training. access is not knowledge. an employee with your passwords and no onboarding is still useless on day one. Here's what changed when i actually sat mine down and taught it my business: → wrote a full client proposal off a real sales call transcript, then checked itself against the transcript so it couldn't invent anything → found 10 businesses matching our ICP, found the right contact at each, drafted all 10 emails into gmail while i slept → saved the proposal process as a reusable skill, so it never needs teaching twice → one typed sentence put a business brief on my phone at 7am, every day, forever free. open source. runs on my own laptop. never wrote a line of code. 🔖 bookmark this before you install another agent study this 👇

Peter Garber (@petegarber) reported@Cartidise @OutofGalaxyy The icons might be stupid here but Gchat works pretty well inside of Gmail and this UI actually is OK. The only problem is that Gchat should literally be able to replace @SlackHQ but it’s been ignored.

Khaled Shadid (@IamKhaledShadid) reportedWhen we started NeuralAgent back in April 2025 it was one of the first agents in the world that uses a user's personal computer, not a computer on the cloud, thats what made it to spread to 180 countries and tens of thousands of users in a short amount of time. Today, I am excited to announce that we are experimenting with something new, something called NeuralOS, it's the next evolution of the Neural experience. With NeuralOS, intelligence stops being an app you open and close and it becomes the OS itself, it becomes the computer itself, it's always on and always ready. Imagine for example you are now on the gmail interface, and you say 'Hey Neural, send a reply to John here', and it just understands, it just knows and in milliseconds types the reply, asks for your approval and then sends it. Or if you are on an interface and there was an error and you say "Hey Neural, fix this" and it just knows! It just works across any app, any screen, any interface, you call it via a keyboard shortcut or voice and ask it to do something, and it does it in milliseconds. Now that we have the Neural fast model, I feel now is the time for this experiment. Stay tuned for NeuralOS! It will be an OS layer that's always on that can run on Windows and macOS and soon Linux as well! As always, we would love to hear your feedback!

Kalyan (@YallaSaikalyan) reportedwhy MCP exists even though APIs already do. An API is just how two programs talk, like your app sending a request to Slack’s endpoint to read messages. That works fine for one service, but it breaks down when your app needs to connect to ten services like Gmail, Jira, Notion, and your database. For each one you have to code authentication, API calls, error handling, and retries yourself. Adding an LLM doesn’t fix this. The model doesn’t make API calls directly, it just tells your app what action to take, and your app still has to run the hardcoded integrations you built. If you then build a second LLM-powered app that needs the same ten services, you end up maintaining 20 separate integrations. MCP solves it with a client-server layer. Each app gets a standard MCP client, and each service gets an MCP server that speaks a common language. So two apps and ten services means roughly 12 components instead of 20. The client can also use Discovery to ask a server what actions are available and pass that list to the LLM, so the model chooses from allowed actions instead of you hardcoding every decision. MCP doesn’t replace APIs. The MCP server sits in front of an existing API as a translator, while the API itself stays the same. It’s essentially a standardized AI-facing layer that cuts down integration complexity across multiple apps.

Bryan Ng (@boomerrbryan) reportedIf I was FORCED to build a channel from $0 to $10k/month in 90 days, no face, no camera, no team, here's exactly what I'd do: Days 1-7: warm up the account Real gmail I actually use. Watch full videos in the niche. Subscribe to 10-15 channels. Leave real comments. No branding, no logo, no banner. A fully-dressed channel with zero videos reads as a spam operation & gets throttled before video one Days 1-4 (parallel): pick the niche on math, never on passion Audience 35-65 in US/UK/Canada/Australia. $15-45 per thousand views. Evergreen topics with no expiry. Financial history, military history, retirement, unsolved mysteries, biographies. Skip anything where the top 20 channels all have 1M+ subs and studio budgets Days 4-7: build the outlier file Open 15 small channels in the niche (2k-20k subs). Sort each by most popular. Screenshot every video doing 3x+ above that channel's normal. 20 screenshots = 20 topics with proven demand from channels that had no audience advantage. The idea did all the work. I'm not brainstorming, I'm reading the answer key Day 8: first upload Proven topic x proven title format. Script structured as a story (setup, tension, resolution) never a list, because lists let viewers leave at minute 4 and stories force them to the end Production: AI character or a Zoom recording, b-roll from free libraries, CapCut. Under $7 per video Days 8-30: one video every 2 days. 10 uploads. Not chasing viral, feeding the algorithm data about who to push this to Day 30: read the data. 1-2 videos will be outliers. Higher CTR, higher retention. That's the platform telling me what this channel is. Make 5 more of the outlier Days 30-90: attach revenue from the first upload, because AdSense alone is the slow lane $29 ebook or a booking link in every description. 150k monthly views by month 3 in a $25 RPM niche = ~$3,750 in ads. A $30 product converting 0.15% of viewers = 225 sales = $6,750. Combined: ~$10.5k Every step of this is free except the $7 videos 99% of you will bookmark this and do nothing, which is exactly why it keeps working for the people who run it (we built the tool that handles the full production pipeline from script to finished video. link in bio.)

enes (@eneszyyl) reported@TeamYouTube Yes, it happens on all devices and browsers even after clearing cache. This is a server-side 2FA loop. I successfully receive and enter the SMS code on my recovery phone number, but Google then asks for a second code sent to the locked Gmail itself. Please escalate this.

Common Man (@smartashu06) reported@asif_sapui You have to download older version of it for example 12.7.0. Download the apk file. Then login to twitter on this old version. After that you will be able to login to BGMI. Once you login to BGMI, kindly make sure to link with gmail account. Thanks

Ronak Doshi (@rnkdsh) reportedYes, this is correct; I have also faced this issue. The emails were working fine in production for months, then suddenly stopped. There was no error when the email was sent, but the receiver was not receiving the email. Even in the spam folder, it was not delivered. After hours of debugging, I found that one of the IPs of the email server was blacklisted, so Gmail was completely ignoring the email. Then I switched to AWS SES, and it's working pretty smoothly.
-
Wander (@LilBoyWander) reported@kcwolfy_ @openshipio I’ve been down this road, many of us have. Email is tough to have self hosted. New IPs have zero reputation and often land in spam permanently with Gmail, Outlook, etc. You need perfect rDNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, slow warming, and constant monitoring…that’s the hidden cost of something like this. One slip and everything dies in spam. I do not suggest doing this unless you have the time and patience to make it work. @resend is my go-to, along with Coolify.

enes (@eneszyyl) reported@TeamYouTube Please help me! Since May 1st, I've been locked out of my Gmail due to a phone motherboard replacement. I have full access to my 2FA phone number and try from the same Wi-Fi, but the system is broken. My channel (@enes3292) is completely lost. I need human help!

Will Truman (@trumwill) reportedI think some of the "Stop putting AI in everything" complaining is overwrought, but I did a search in Gmail for emails and it tried to give me an AI overview of the person I was searching and only the relevant emails down below with no link to the actual emails.

Prajwal Tomar (@PrajwalTomar_) reportedI just replaced $200/month in SaaS with one internal tool. New lead hits Gmail. It auto-tags, updates our pipeline in Sheets, drafts the proposal with AI, and fires an SMS follow-up via Twilio. Built the whole thing in one afternoon in Lovable. People still think Lovable is just for pretty UI. It's not. You can wire up Gmail, Sheets, Twilio, anything. Build tools that actually replace your stack. I use connectors almost daily now. On client work, agency automation, side projects. I finally wrote down the entire system. Every shortcut, every mistake I made, the stuff I wish I knew on day one.

Vage (@Vage968278) reported@OPay_NG what’s going on. Are you people being hacked. Why are your customers services asking for date of birth. Full name. Account number and Gmail. This is too much information to resolve issue

Naman Rohandiya (@NamanRohandiya) reportedEvery company has a second brain. The problem is it's scattered across Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, docs, and hundreds of conversations. We're building Octopus to unify it. Connect your tools, ask anything, and get answers backed by citations.
