  Gave Grok Bot a real assignment: run parts of my business like an actual employee, not a chatbot answering questions. First mistake, immediately corrected. I almost had it spin up its own Gmail account — Google's already catching and disabling Gmail accounts created by agents like this. Switched to AgentMail instead, since it's already a listed plugin in Grok Bot's browser. OAuth, three minutes, 24 email tools live and working. For payments, Stripe has a live MCP server — the agent can create customers, issue invoices, run transactions, all through plain language, no custom integration built by hand. Before any of it touched something real, I wrote the rules first. What it's allowed to read. What it's allowed to send. What it's allowed to spend, and the exact caps. What needs my approval before it happens. One command that shuts the whole thing down if I need it gone. Passport first. Rules second. Never the other order. The mistake almost everyone makes isn't giving an agent too much access. It's giving it access before the rules exist to contain it.

  @Jaywash_1NFT @Cointelegraph @Yubico Yubikey is a security key that's acts as MFA for accounts such as Gmail, social media accounts, etc, it can't be used with Hardware wallets, unless there is an account login where you sign up with email or phone number and password. Most hardware wallets are not compatible with security keys because they simple don't require it as the hardware wallet acts as the authenticatior in that situation.

The password is correct, but X keeps showing “Incorrect Password.” We have requested a password reset several times, but the OTP/reset email is not being received on the registered Gmail account. Please look into this issue and help restore access to the account. Kindly fix the password reset/OTP issue as soon as possible. 🙏 #XSupport #AccountRecovery #PasswordReset

  This has become a recurring problem. This has happened earlier too (maybe 2 months ago?), and its happening again. Entire businesses run on Whatsapp (I am NOT a proponent of that!) and this kind of an advance hoc review/hold can bring businesses to a standstill! Solution: 1. Move back to good ol' email. 2. For IM and VCs, use Meet/Teams/Zoom. 3. For channels, try Slack. 4. For OTPs, use SMS 5. Want to save on call charges then use the voice call feature on Meet/Teams. There is nothing unique that Whatsapp offers that your life cannot get by without. It's just that we are way too deep in a comfort zone and Zuck is exploring that to the fullest! If you have a damn smartphone then you sure as hell have a Gmail account or you wouldn't have been able to download Whatsapp. So move your arse out from WhatsApp and explore other options.

  I think this is a symptom of the "internet" shrinking down to a handful of websites (Facebook, Gmail, X) for most of the population. They're not aware that outside of these walled gardens, everything is pretty much constantly on fire, all the time.

  Will OBrien 🐳 (@TripleWhaleWill) reported 18 minutes ago

  Somewhere in your ESP sits a segment that hasn't opened an email since January. Come November, those addresses help decide whether Gmail shows your Black Friday launch to anyone at all. That makes September the quiet start of BFCM. Suppressing the dead weight and confirming authentication before the volume ramps. Running the margin math on the offer while nobody's attached to a banner yet. None of it looks like holiday marketing, and all of it decides deliverability and profit once the sends start. And the sends will have company. Triple Whale tracked over 5.5 million email campaigns and 4.6 million automated flows across BFCM last year. Nobody out-volumes that week. The brands that get seen chose months earlier which addresses were worth sending to. One afternoon covers your version. Pull last year's BFCM numbers past the opens, down to margin after discounts and new versus returning revenue. Suppress what's been silent all year. Write the discount ceiling down before anyone falls in love with an offer. Do it this month and November becomes sending instead of firefighting.

  @AMoser_E @TutaPrivacy @ProtonMail If you make a Proton account, and sink Gmail to it. Pick at it. Don't make it a chore. A couple of accounts at a time, or one, or binge it. Whatever. It is possible to degoogle yourself. I degoogled and deMicrosofted myself. I am fully on Linux (Mint), and on Calyx OS for phone. Slow and steady wins the race friend. A sandwich isn't consumed in one bite, but many.

  @MSFT365Status I have been down since 9:00 a.m. this morning! I own a IT technology business and I need to have my email up and running. Unfortunately, I had to use my Gmail account with a disclaimer at the bottom of the email saying that Microsoft's email was not working and therefore that's the difference in the email address. It is not acceptable for this to be down! Microsoft is big enough to handle any situation that comes down the line and this is a perfect example of Microsoft not keeping up with whatever happened. Was it an update? I don't think so! Was it a hack? I don't know! FIX IT!

  Flaxen Media (@flaxen_media) reported 33 minutes ago

  @markdmei List size itself isn’t the problem. Uncontrolled sending is. A 100K list can outperform a 30K list all day long if the brand is actively managing engagement, segmentation, suppression and sending behavior. Where brands get into trouble is when they treat every subscriber like they have the same intent. Someone who purchased 7 days ago, someone who clicked yesterday, and someone who hasn’t opened anything in 300 days should not be receiving the same campaign frequency. And this gets even more important as you scale paid acquisition. You can spend heavily on Meta/Google, acquire thousands of new emails every month, and still watch email revenue flatten because your overall sender reputation is deteriorating underneath the growth. For the DTC brands we work with, I’d rather see: → Smaller, more engaged campaign audiences → Aggressive segmentation based on recent behavior → Proper sunset/suppression logic → Flows doing more of the lifecycle work → Different sending frequencies for different engagement tiers → List growth measured alongside revenue per recipient, not just subscriber count One thing I’d slightly disagree with is the idea that the ESP simply “decides” to deliver fewer emails. The bigger issue is that Gmail, Yahoo and other mailbox providers continuously evaluate your sending reputation and recipient engagement. Your ESP gives you the infrastructure, but the inbox ultimately decides where you land. So yes — 30K genuinely engaged subscribers can absolutely be worth more than 80K mixed-quality contacts.

  @egavrilenko11 @bot 2/3 GitHub didn't work either. I even tried creating a Cursor account, and it was the same. It only worked when I used the Gmail login option. I used another personal account and then linked it to my Supergrok account. I'm logged in that way, but when I connected the X plugin...

  @huacnlee Tried your app. Sign-in offers either Google Auth or IMAP. I went with IMAP, then found out Gmail no longer accepts password logins. Tried switching back to Google Auth: impossible. Uninstalled and reinstalled — still stuck on the "Add an IMAP mailbox" screen. Can you fix this?

  ChatGPT finally supports multiple Gmail accounts. No more logging out. No more switching tabs. No more half-pictures of your schedule. You can now connect multiple Google accounts side-by-side to read emails, calendars, and contacts all at once. Here is how to set it up in under a minute: 1. Open ChatGPT and go to plugins/settings. 2. Tap the gear icon on Gmail. 3. Select "Connect another account" and sign in. Stop checking your inbox manually. Let AI do the triage.

  Shanica North (@KickAssShanica) reported 48 minutes ago

  @ArcyloOfficial Get comfy! For me, my Gmail is a connector. This is OAuth into my inbox. Grok can: • search and read mail (body, headers, attachments) • draft replies • send / reply / forward if you grant write/send • label, trash, organize Base hook is often read-only. Send is an extra permission you click on purpose. If you connect it, the bot is sitting in the same box as bank alerts and 2FA codes. That is the whole risk. You can revoke anytime. Grok Bot can also skip my inbox and get its own address (AgentMail / similar plugins). Then it sends and receives from something@….agentmail.to, not from you. I use that if I want an agent that emails people without reading my personal mail. My GitHub OAuth into the GitHub user I sign in as. With the scopes I approve it can: • read public and private repos that account can see • search code, list branches, summarize PRs • open/update issues • create branches, push files, open/review/merge PRs • delete files if write is on Private repos work only if I granted repo (or equivalent) at connect time. Safer pattern: tell it to branch + PR, not push straight to main. Same revoke page. What it cannot do by default • It does not get your password. • It does not stay logged in if you disconnect the connector. • It does not magically see my GitHub orgs I never authorized. • Connecting email does not connect GitHub, and the other way around. Practical rule for me Do not hook personal Gmail if that inbox has 2FA and money mail unless you want an assistant reading it. GitHub is useful if I chose to still keep repos, ask it to show the diff before any write. If you only wanted “what does this button do,” that is the button: it is not a viewer badge. It is a key you can take back. This is what I’m experiencing with learning to use it. It’s different and I’m starting to like it.

  Most of the SaaS software we use have a major flaw in them and most people aren't aware of it. I'm not going to breadcrumb you to read the full writeup. The main flaw is that there's no pause button. We can't pause our account. That's it? You might think. But think about all the SaaS software you use on a daily basis, which is almost 100% of all software. Take an example of Gmail workspace. If you've been using it (which is a SaaS), the moment you stop paying, your account access is gone. And if you don't pay the subscription (aka ransom), you lose your data and work. All modern SaaS platforms are aimed at keeping revenue alive. And I understand that economic need. But that doesn't mean I agree with this practice. That is the reason, for all my clients at Sisyphus Consulting, one of the most important filters used in services and advisory is: can we press breaks without losing data? That is one of the problems I wanted to address. So, we launched Self-hosted Software Management service almost a year back. It is our end-to-end service helping businesses setup, scale and maintain their own open source applications and servers. The ability to pause the whole setup, stopping the monthly billing and still retaining ownership of the accumulated data, is one of the things that I'm proud of offering. The interesting matter is that, most of us do not think about this. Because none of the major SaaS providers offer this pause button. What we don't see, we don't think about. Out of sight, out of mind. For example, have you thought about having your free Gmail account emails having physically backed up on your own device or server? I too, hadn't thought about it few years ago. We build our entire work and life around a Gmail account and we don't even think about owning our emails. Almost a year back, finally I switched to Thunderbird, backed up all of 10k+ emails of past decade in a readable, open format. Now I have no worries about Gmail going down tomorrow. It is crazy how many things the modern SaaS business model has taken away from us: ownership, longevity, interoperability and joy of using the same tools for years.

  @rahulvohra @Superhuman thanks for the quick response, Rahul! here’s some constructive feedback: ↳ the double nav is the biggest issue. ↳ i switch sections constantly and keep opening calendar by accident. ↳ i never use calendar, so it shouldn’t be in the primary nav. ↳ search feels redundant since swipe already worked. ↳ the smaller menu icons/text make things like “sent” harder to find. ↳ multiple calendars per one inbox feels like the wrong hierarchy. ↳ the old ui felt calm and focused. this feels much closer to gmail, the reason i switched to superhuman in the first place. i’ve been a customer for 5 years and hope you’ll reconsider these changes.

  1. Find intent before you write anything Grok’s real advantage vs other models is live public X + web search. Use that for signals, not generic “write me a blog.” Ask it to: Pull how your ICP actually describes the problem this week (exact phrases, not marketing-speak). Find posts where people complain about a competitor, ask for alternatives, or announce a relevant hire/launch. Scan a target account’s recent news, jobs, and exec posts and extract 2–3 business priorities you can attach your product to. That language becomes better ads, landing pages, and first lines than anything invented from a persona doc. Treat every list as a research draft and verify people/companies yourself. Starter prompt: “Search X and the web for the last 14 days. Find posts from [title] at [company type] describing [problem you solve] or looking for an alternative to [competitor]. Quote the original language. Score each 1–10 for buying intent. Ignore generic venting.” 2. Build inbound assets that both humans and AIs can cite Website + content still drive a large share of B2B pipeline, and “generative engine optimization” now matters: buyers ask Grok / ChatGPT / Perplexity for software recommendations. Structure pages so an answer engine can extract a clean definition, comparison, and proof. Have Grok: Turn one customer win into a case study, comparison page, implementation guide, and FAQ cluster. Write definition-first sections (“X is…”, “Choose X when…”), question-style H2s, and short self-contained paragraphs. Produce an SEO/GEO brief: primary query, related questions, stats to source, internal links, and a “quotable” 2–3 sentence answer block. Then publish the best facts in crawlable HTML, not only behind a form. Gated PDFs are leads; public HTML is how AIs mention you. I can also turn those briefs into a Word doc, one-pager PDF, or slide deck you can ship. 3. Multiply one asset across the funnel One strong source (webinar transcript, customer interview, product changelog, whitepaper) should become: 1 long-form page 3–5 LinkedIn posts / X threads a 3–5 email nurture ad variants a sales one-pager Grok is good at this if you lock voice and constraints: tone, claims you can legally make, words you never use, CTA by stage. Ask for variants, not one “perfect” draft. Human-edit anything that goes live. 4. Personalize outbound without sounding like a bot Grok does not replace your list, sequencer, or judgment. It is best at research and tightening copy you already have. Workflow that actually works: You pick the account. Paste homepage copy, a press release, two job posts, and a LinkedIn About. Ask for priorities + one specific observation that ties to your offer. Ask for a 20-word opener that references a real detail—or “nothing specific, don’t invent.” You send. Never let it invent titles, emails, or flattery. At a startup, quality of 30 messages beats volume of 3,000. 5. Arm sales so marketing-sourced leads don’t stall Pipeline dies in the handoff. Use Grok to produce: Account briefs the morning of a call Objection handling from real competitor language on X Battle cards and “why us vs them” one-pagers Recap emails from call notes Simple decks for a first meeting If you connect CRM / Gmail / Slack (where available), it can draft in your tools and leave send/update for a human. That is the safe pattern GTM teams are using with Grok Bot-style workflows. 6. Run a weekly operating rhythm, not random chats The teams getting leverage treat Grok like a junior analyst with a standing brief: Monday: competitor and category scan (what changed, what buyers said). Midweek: content and ad variants from one approved source asset. Friday: “what should we test next” from performance notes you paste in. You can also use scheduled Automations so a research prompt runs on a cadence and you wake up to a digest instead of a blank page. What not to do Do not auto-send cold email or LinkedIn from raw Grok output. Do not use generated images as finished brand creative for customer-facing campaigns; they are fine for internal mockups and ideation. Do not treat citations or company facts as final without a source check. Do not optimize only for “more MQLs.” Optimize for meetings and opportunities with your ICP. Highest-leverage first week for a small SaaS team Feed Grok 3 customer calls + your ICP and extract the exact problem language. Rebuild your top 3 high-intent pages (comparison, use-case, pricing/FAQ) so they are quotable. Turn one closed-won story into a case study + LinkedIn series + 4-email sequence. Build a 15-account research pack and personalized openers for outbound. Give sales a one-page “how to talk about us vs [top competitor]” they will actually use. If you tell me your product, ICP (title + company type), and whether you lean inbound or outbound, I can draft the first asset set in this chat—positioning lines, page outline, email sequence, or X/LinkedIn posts—ready for you to edit.

  @krainboltgreene @Speedkicks @slime_machine Unfortunately, it's basically impossible to create your own email server. The software and hardware is easy enough to get setup, but the major email service providers (Microsoft Outlook, Google Gmail, contracted emails through those 2) block all but a shortlist of providers.
