    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.

    your youtube trust score might be killing your channel’s views and you don’t even know about it… there’s no place to check it, but it exists you've seen it happen. a creator posts 20 genuinely good videos. zero traction. under 100 impressions on all of them. they assume they're bad at this, burn out, and quit. the content was fine, and the channel was flagged before their first upload even went live. let me break down exactly how this works and the $0 fix... when you create a new youtube channel, the system evaluates a set of signals to classify whether you're a real creator or a bot farm. fresh gmail + instant uploads + 0 viewing history + no subscriber activity = the exact fingerprint of the spam channels youtube kills every day so the system treats you the same way. your reach gets throttled before you've begun. i've watched this wreck dozens of channels in the facelessOS community before we figured out the pattern. a creator sets up a new gmail, creates a channel, uploads 5 videos in the first week, and wonders why their impressions are in the single digits. they think their thumbnails need work. their hooks need work. their niche selection was wrong. the real cause sat elsewhere: the channel was classified as low-trust on day one. and once you're locked in what people are calling "0 view jail," the algorithm withholds enough initial impressions to even TEST whether your videos are good. you're uploading into a void. the protocol fixing this costs nothing and takes 7 days. step 1: use a gmail you've had for months. an aged, real email with search history, youtube watch history, subscriptions, normal activity. this single change shifts how youtube classifies the account from the start. aged gmails signal "real human." fresh gmails signal "potential spam." step 2: spend 7 days as a viewer before you upload anything. watch full videos in your niche. complete watch-throughs rather than 30-second clicks. subscribe to 10-15 channels in your space. leave a few real comments. like videos. build a viewing profile that matches the audience you want to attract. this sounds dumb. it's the highest-leverage 7 days you'll ever spend on a channel. the system now has evidence you're a real person with real interests in the niche you're about to create content for. that reads completely differently to "anonymous account uploaded 5 videos about true crime yesterday." step 3: verify your identity. enable feature eligibility in your youtube settings. this requires a government ID and phone number. i know some faceless creators hate this because they want full anonymity. the tradeoff is the algorithm treating you like a verified human instead of an unknown entity. every creator in our network who verified saw an immediate increase in initial impression allocation. step 4: upload cadence matters MORE than upload volume. the channels that escape 0 view jail the fastest upload 2-3 videos in their first week with 48-72 hours between uploads, well away from 5 videos on day one. consistent spacing signals "real creator." mass uploads signal "bot farm." youtube's system is pattern-matching your behaviour against known spam patterns, and spam channels dump content fast. step 5: your first 3 videos are an audition. youtube tests new channels by sampling a small audience. if those first 3 videos get decent retention (above 40%) and positive engagement, the system escalates your trust and your next uploads get shown to a bigger initial pool. if your first 3 videos get 10% retention because the scripts were weak, the system downgrades you and your next uploads get an even smaller test audience. it's a compounding loop in both directions. this is why i keep saying the script carries everything. especially for new channels, the first 3 scripts need to be ENGINEERED for retention. they set the trust score for every video that comes after. the channels in our network running scripts built on retention data from 8,000+ proven scripts skip the 0 view jail entirely. their first videos get tested on meaningful audience sizes because the retention signals tell the algorithm "this channel is worth pushing."

    Shout out to @MailspringApp I installed it last year for a desktop app that had Gmail keyboard shortcuts. I just noticed it has an MCP server now. I don't have to do a song an dance to give my Hermes agent access to various email accounts. I can reference an account and subject when prompting my agent and it can read the email, screenshots, attachments, etc. It can even draft reply emails for me that I can go back an edit and send when I'm ready. Thank you!

    Every business that reaches seven or nine figures has an aha moment. Mine came two hours into day one. An aha moment is when you find the one thing that gives your business an edge. For Facebook, it was working out that a new user who made seven friends in their first ten days was unlikely to ever leave the app. So that became the only number the company chased. For Gmail, it was working out that somebody typing their password was almost certainly about to open their inbox, so they started loading it right then and killed the wait everybody else was making you sit through. At Cars4Us, it came two hours after we opened the doors, when I bought the first car and two things were obvious. Buying cars was far easier than I'd assumed it would be. And what made that bloke say yes had far more to do with how fast we moved than with the price I gave him. Everything else about us was worse. We were four people using a cheap transport company, and nobody had ever heard our name. He sold to us anyway, because we got to him first. That was the edge. Speed. I couldn't be bigger than my competitors on day one and I couldn't outspend them. But I could be the quickest, and that was the one area nobody was competing in. So the whole company got built on that. Enquire at 9:30 in the morning, inspector standing at your car by 1pm, money in your account by 4. Within 60 days we were the largest online car buying company in the country. So stop trying to be better at everything, because that's the one game every competitor in your market is already playing. Go and find what your industry is slow at, and own that instead. (And yes, I used the F1 car pick because I'm talking about speed here)

    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.

    It's crazy how everyone is praising Grok Bot, but let me be the annoying person who tells you why it still kinda sucks. 1. The actual capabilities of agents are not novel. Most of the demos I've seen can already be done with Hermes and similar setups, often with smarter models and more control. The difference is that Grok Bot gives you everything out of the box ,without setup and wiring things together. 2. The agent itself is still pretty weak. The UX makes you want to delegate ambitious tasks to it, but the underlying model/agent doesn't always live up to that promise. It takes dumb paths, burns through context/tokens surprisingly fast, and needs more babysitting than the "AI employee" framing suggests. Also, there's no native X search which is especially funny for a product coming from (you have x_search on @grok but not on @bot which needs to use x connection and burn credits). 3. The security model deserves way more attention. All your Bots share the same computer, including files, cookies, browser sessions, and logins. So once you start logging into Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, internal dashboards, etc., a prompt injection or compromised webpage suddenly has a much bigger blast radius. Well, these were the main issues I had with grok bot (apart from smaller issues like absence of read aloud) and why I stick with hermes. But on the other hand, the product is genuinely good, and this is why.

    what I did to troubleshoot the fact that there is no @Mailchimp connector yet and I didn’t wanna set up an API or an MCP I just connected it to the associated Gmail and I gave it the instruction that throughout the month. I’m gonna send photos information and recap on events we have with the title “month, Year MailChimp newsletter” so at the end of the month it can review all the stuff I’ve sent it to put together in this email and then it can also review the previous months email to cross-reference and check for other items that are relevant to add to the email… so I can just dump all the content in my Gmail inbox and it can work and its own computer and MailChimp after I login. 🎉

    @katiehobbs @MaryLouRosas1 Katie, Sweetie… This Is Your Record?” 1. The Pay‑to‑Play Saga That Just Won’t Die Katie out here preaching “nonpartisan leadership” while her administration was busy starring in a real‑life episode of Arizona: The Donation Connection. • Massive donations roll in. • Rate increases magically appear. • A secret legal defense fund pops up like a desert gopher. But sure, Katie — tell us more about “doing what’s right for Arizona.” 2. The $2 Million Wire Transfer to Nigeria This one is peak comedy. Her Housing Department literally wired $2 million of Arizona taxpayer money to scammers. To Nigeria. Because they didn’t have basic verification procedures. Katie: “Leadership is delivering results.” Arizona: “Girl, you delivered $2 million to a scammer with a Gmail account.” 3. The Tourism Logo Fiasco $700,000 blown on a tourism rebrand that looked like someone opened Canva and said “good enough.” Then — shocker — the marketing firm had ties to the Tourism Director’s brother. Director resigns in 48 hours. But yes, Katie, tell us again how you’re “bringing people together.” Apparently mostly through ethics investigations. 4. Court Ruling: You Literally Broke State Law A judge ruled she violated Arizona law by installing agency heads without Senate confirmation. She tried to bypass oversight by inventing “executive deputy directors.” The court basically said: “Nice try, but no.” Leadership, Katie? You can’t even follow the rulebook. 5. Transparency Issues That Make People Squint Even after prosecutors declined charges, the Attorney General said the whole situation showed a need for legislative reform. Translation: “Something smells off, but we can’t prove it yet.”

    An imported automation will not just run, and that is not a broken template. Every one of them needs your own accounts connected before it does anything. Your Gmail, your Notion, your Drive. The workflow is the wiring. It is not the electricity. Most people import one, hit the first credential error, decide the tool is broken, and never open it again. That error is the normal first step. It is the workflow telling you exactly which account it wants.

    Ima let you finish, but... DON'T USE Gmail. Use Protonmail with dual encryption 2 passwords to get into your email + an authenticator key 🔑 or authy app. No idea why more email providers don't use the same model. But very few others allow for the dual login requirement of 2 passwords. If you have to use 2 emails use Protonmail address as your ultimate recovery email for Gmail or Whatever your second email is. Don't add phone authentication Sim swapping is EZ for a social engineer.

    I sent my Grok @Bot to hunt down an out-of-stock book! It couldn't find any in stock, and the only copy left was way too expensive. But since it has access to my Gmail, it just started emailing publishers and bookstores itself. They're all Turkish, so it wrote the emails in Turkish. I would spent hours on this previously, now it's minutes. Let's see how it ends up :)
