  @theo FYI was running into a lot of issues creating a t3 connect account with Gmail and Apple ID. It just returned not found and I had to make an account with username and password. App has a lot of nice touches otherwise though!

  I audit brands stuck under a 20% open rate and it's ALWAYS sender reputation. Your subject line isn't the problem. reputation tanks → Gmail and Yahoo throttle your sends → fewer emails reach the inbox → open rate sits under 20% No subject line rewrite fixes a reputation that already tanked. Fix deliverability first. THEN the subject line finally matters.

  What is Google doing with Gemini? Asked it to process receipts under a specific Gmail label. Gemini failed miserably and started searching random emails instead. Claude handled the exact same task with no problem?

  @HeyItsCherrry Just realized that the mobile app doesnt let you pull all the header data unless youre in gmail in a browser instead of the app. Next in the new tab scroll down just a bit, and you'll see the header. The big red arrow points to the header data, you can copy that into the url I shared and get all youre going to get from the email, which may or may not be enlightening.

  @Hopspur24 I may have hit the wrong button too cuz I remember it saying something about either opening it on my phone or my Gmail and I hit the Google button and I'm thinking that might have been the problem. But the app is running smooth and faster now than before it kept freezing up.

  Excited for the launch of Grok Bot! I’ve been using it for the last few weeks. Some of my favorite things my Bots have done so far: - Found receipts in Gmail, filed my expenses in Ramp, and kept checking them until they were approved - Planned travel based on my preferences and loyalty accounts, figured out when I needed to leave, and updated my calendar - Coordinated with each other through a Chief of Staff Bot that only pings me when something actually needs my input - Traced issues with an internal tool through logs, triaged bugs and regressions, raised PRs, and let me know when they were ready for review . Looking forward to continuing to find new ways to put my Bots to work. Check out the comments for a link to try @bot. @SpaceXAI

  Iron Man's Jarvis is now a weekend project. Total cost: about 25 dollars a month. The video breaks down exactly how it fits together. What the finished build does: a dashboard that talks, reads your inbox, watches your revenue, schedules your posts, and briefs you every morning before you wake up. The whole thing runs on a Mac mini. The stack, all off the shelf: - The brain: Claude Code, $20/mo. Reads files, runs commands, browses, calls your other apps. - The hands: MCP connectors for Gmail, Chrome, RevenueCat and Metricool. Free. - The voice: cloned from 10 seconds of audio for about $5/mo. - The face: one self-contained HTML file that Claude builds and corrects by screenshotting its own work. The build, in order: install the agent, let it build your dashboard, wire the voice, connect one app at a time starting read-only, give it a team of small scoped agents, then schedule the 9am brief that runs with your laptop closed. The one rule that makes it safe: Jarvis proposes, you approve. Email stays drafts-only. Ad budgets get capped upstream. The human stays the checkpoint. I am building the full step-by-step video tutorial for this entire system right now: every command, every connector, the exact dashboard instruction, and the complete safety checklist, all on screen. Comment "Jarvis" below and I will send you the link the second it is done.

  This client had a 100k email list that was making them almost nothing. The list wasn't the problem. Gmail had buried them in spam, and they didn't even know. 20+ in just the first 20 days working with us, and we focus on deliverability for all of our clients because that's one of the key foundations for email marketing.

  Dear @TeamYouTube , I am the legitimate owner of a monetized YouTube channel that is currently associated with a Google/Gmail account that I can no longer access. The problem is related to 2-Step Verification. I have access to the phone number linked to the original Google Account and I receive the OTP on my mobile number. However, after entering the phone OTP, Google sends another verification code to the same Gmail account that I am trying to recover. Since I cannot access that Gmail account, I am unable to complete the recovery process. My YouTube channel and AdSense account are still active, and my payments are being received regularly. However, without access to the original Google Account, I cannot properly manage my YouTube channel and related account settings. I respectfully request that YouTube Support help me transfer my YouTube channel to my new Google Account, which I have full access to. If the associated AdSense account also requires a separate process, please guide me through the official procedure to ensure that my monetization and payment information remain secure and uninterrupted. I am willing to provide any information necessary to verify my ownership of the channel and AdSense account. If this case needs to be handled by a specialist team, please kindly escalate it to the appropriate team or provide me with access to the correct official support form. Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards, Vipul Manik Shinde

  Manage your browser tabs or accept that Chrome will eat all your RAM. He had 34 tabs open in Chrome. Chrome was consuming 3.8GB of his laptop's 8GB RAM. That left 4.2GB for Windows and every other app which is why everything was crawling. His roommate said: "Chrome treats every tab as a separate process. 34 tabs means 34 processes. Each one has its own memory allocation. A tab with a YouTube video open is consuming 300-500MB by itself. A tab with Gmail running consumes 200MB. You have 34 of these running simultaneously and you're wondering why your laptop is slow." The fixes: Use tab groups to organize and collapse tabs you're not actively using. Collapsed groups use less active memory. Install a tab manager extension like OneTab which converts all open tabs into a saved list, freeing the memory. One click to restore any tab when you need it. Close any tab you haven't looked at in the last hour. If you're afraid of losing it, bookmark it. A bookmark uses 0 RAM. An open tab uses 100-500MB. He said: "He went from 34 open tabs to 8. Chrome's RAM usage dropped from 3.8GB to 1.1GB. His laptop instantly felt twice as fast because his apps finally had memory to work with."

  The Strategic Move That Could Save Google's AI Future (And Why They Probably Won't Make It) I've been building with AI long enough to remember when Google felt untouchable. Back in the day, if you were an engineer, Google was the mountaintop. They had the papers. They had the researchers. They had the TPUs. Every breakthrough worth caring about seemed to flow out of Mountain View. Then something shifted. I started noticing it around 2022. Small teams — like, embarrassingly small teams — were shipping things that Google couldn't. A handful of people were building coding agents, AI-native IDEs, full-stack generation tools that developers actually wanted to use. Meanwhile, Google would announce something incredible at I/O, and six months later it would be deprecating it or burying it inside some product nobody asked for. I felt it personally. I'd build on a Google API, get invested, write code around it, and then watch it get sunset with a blog post and thirty days' notice. I'd migrate. Rebuild. Curse under my breath. Repeat. And the whole time I kept asking myself the same question. Why does a company with this much firepower keep fumbling the ball? Today on X, @pmddomingos dropped a take that stopped me cold. He said Google should move to a pharma and movie studio model. Distribution muscle in-house. Creativity outsourced to smaller, nimbler outfits. The more I sat with it, the more it made sense. Here's what pharma companies understand. They don't try to discover every drug themselves. They buy or partner with biotech startups that do the messy, creative, high-risk research. Then they handle the clinical trials, the regulatory maze, the distribution. They are the last mile. The scale. The muscle. Movie studios work the same way. They don't develop every script in-house. Production companies, independent creators, writers — they handle the creative chaos. The studio handles financing, marketing, and getting butts into seats or onto streaming platforms. Now look at Google. Google has arguably the most powerful distribution infrastructure in human history. Search. YouTube. Android. Gmail. Chrome. Billions of users. A cloud platform with global reach. They even quietly entered the movie and TV business through 100 Zeros, operating at arm's length with a tiny dedicated staff — not unlike Nike's Waffle Iron Entertainment setup. Distribution is not Google's problem. It never was. Google's problem is the other thing. The creative part. The part where someone says what if we built this and then actually builds it without seventeen layers of review, a committee, and a strategy doc nobody reads. I've watched internal Google teams iterate at the speed of government while a three-person startup ships a product that hits a million users in a month. The startup has no compute advantage. No brand moat. But it has velocity and creative hunger. It has a developer workspace where ideas turn into deployed apps in hours, not quarters. That's the thing the pharma and studio models get right. They don't confuse distribution capability with creative capability. They know those are different muscles. They know the people who are great at one are usually terrible at the other. And here's what's wild — there's a prediction floating around that by 2026, studios will split into two clear camps. Those still waiting for permission and greenlights. And those building systems that monetize audience attention every single day. The AI world is heading the same direction. The companies that win won't be the ones with the most researchers behind closed doors. They'll be the ones who figure out how to be the platform, the distribution layer, the last mile — while letting a thousand small, hungry teams handle the creative chaos of building what users actually want. Google doesn't need to out-innovate OpenAI or Anthropic or the next two-person startup that blows up overnight. It needs to stop trying. It needs to become the studio. The distributor. The infrastructure that smaller players build on top of. And honestly? It's already sitting on the pieces. It just hasn't connected them. The compute is there. The developer tools are there. The user base is there. What's missing is the mindset shift — admitting that the best ideas probably aren't going to come from inside the building, and that's okay. That's not weakness. That's leverage. I think about my own stack. I use a mix of agentic coding tools, AI-powered IDEs, local LLM environments, and cloud-based dev spaces. None of them come from Google. They could. But they don't. And the reason isn't capability. It's that Google keeps trying to be the creative genius when it should be the studio that backs a hundred creative geniuses. So here's my question — if Google went full studio model tomorrow and became the distribution layer for independent AI builders, what's the first kind of product or team you'd want to see them back? Drop your answer in the comments, I read every one. And if this resonated, follow along — I write about this stuff constantly.

  Day 3 of Building in Public Users: 8 (-1 refund) Revenue: $0 (-1 churned) MRR: $0 Signups: 9 total Lost my first paying user today. ->Bad matches ->tough market (Finland). I have learnt a new angle to see: i need to also understand that what other platform "my user" are using for applying into the job. Changes to be done: -> Free trial will be applicable from nowon -> Latest Job search, formating answers for the application -> Tracking will be little bit going to be manual or via Gmail -> Scoring will be live according to your resume (Fit to go or not - with Percentage) . Lesson learned. Fixing the real problem now - making applications easier to fill, not just finding jobs. Progress over perfection. Back at it. Any suggestions guys?

  New research shows content inside an email can escape its message boundary and interfere with the webmail interface. Across attack chains spanning Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail, the techniques can capture passwords, take over third-party accounts, leak tokens, hijack trusted UI actions, and manipulate AI tools that read email. PortSwigger researcher Gareth Heyes presented the work at Black Hat USA 2026. One Outlook/Firefox chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen and captures the password a recipient types. A Yahoo/AOL paste race can expose a Medium email-login token and let an attacker sign in as the victim. A Gmail/Cowork chain can exfiltrate a Slack token after prompt injection and user interaction. The paper presents proof-of-concept research and does not report malicious exploitation. Public PoCs remain available as of August 8. The researcher said Fastmail fixed two CSS mutation bugs and a Proton Mail proxy bypass stopped working when he retested it, while Outlook label-jacking and Gmail's image-set() bypass still worked when the research was published on August 6. The paper does not state whether the full Outlook password-capture chain was fixed. For webmail providers, the paper recommends isolating HTML email in sandboxed iframes and tightly restricting CSS, custom attributes, select menus, and image requests.

  There are 5,400 OpenClaw skills sitting in a public registry right now and most people are still hand-writing prompts for problems someone already solved in March. VoltAgent maintains a repo that filters and categorizes every single one of them. Free, open, updated constantly. You want a skill for Gmail triage. Someone built it. Browser automation, ElevenLabs voice, Discord ops, calendar management. All there. The difference between a mediocre agent and a scary one is usually not intelligence. It's that one person spent 20 minutes browsing a registry and the other didn't. Search before you build.
