  16 out of 16 direct sends pass DMARC alignment after the fix. But 15 of 33 forwarded copies fail on the same day. info@ that forwards to a founder's Gmail breaks the DKIM signature, and the sender cannot do anything about it.

  I haven't used #Gmail in years, but if #ShieldedEmail ships some day, it'll affect everyone who builds software: You can no longer assume a user shows up with the same email address every time. Every sign-up is potentially a fresh alias. If your system merges customer data or detects duplicates based on email, it's time to rethink that. We know this from #iCloud's Hide My Email + Sign in with Apple: a new addresses for the same person, all the time. And to be clear: from a privacy standpoint, this is a genuine win for users. It just means we as developers have to catch up on that.

  top 13 ways to use grok bot to automate your life as a founder each bot gets its own browser, terminal and logins, so it does the work inside your real tools 1\ customer support > user sends a vague complaint > the bot opens your live app > reproduces it in the ui > records the steps > files the ticket with real repro instructions > hands it to claude code to fix, pushes to **** 2\ the inbox > reads every thread overnight > answers the easy ones off your knowledge base and sends them > books the calls straight into your calendar > chases anyone who ghosted you 3 days ago with follow ups > pulls anything with a deadline into a task list > flags only what actually needs you > you wake up to 4 emails instead of 90 3\ the outbound bot > pulls a lead list (e.g. apollo, sales navigator + anymail) > writes the sequence off a trigger event > sends tue wed thu at 7am their local time > replies within minutes of anyone responding > no human sdr beats a bot to speed to lead 4\ the deploy watcher > triggers on every commit > runs your signup flow in a real browser > checks the console for errors > only pings you if something broke 5\ the competitor bot > reads competitor pricing pages, changelogs and reviews off g2, capterra and trustpilot > tells you what changed the day it changes > figures out what is worth stealing for your own startup > hands claude a roadmap to ship it 6\ the reddit bot > watches every subreddit your buyers actually post in > finds people ranting about your competitors and pulls their exact words > scores who is actually ready to switch and drops the rest > takes the biggest recurring complaint and hands claude code the fix > ships it, then drafts the dm quoting the post that caused it > their complaint becomes your feature and their customer 7\ the content bot > watches what is trending in your niche every morning before you wake up > finds the posts already going viral and writes your angle on the same idea > drafts in your voice off your last 50 posts, not generic ai slop > cuts one long post into a thread, a linkedin version, a tiktok script and a newsletter > schedules it all and posts at the times your account actually performs > reads the analytics after and writes more of whatever won > being 3 days late to a trend is not late, this makes you 3 hours early 8\ the seo and gseo bot > logs into search console and pulls what you rank for on page 2 > finds the queries you get impressions on with no clicks, those are free wins > writes the post, publishes it, then checks a week later if it moved > rewrites the losers instead of adding more posts > checks whether chatgpt, claude, gemini and perplexity actually cite you for your money keywords > fixes the schema and llms.txt when they don't > the whole loop runs without you opening an editor 9\ the money bot > pulls invoices out of gmail and reconciles them > chases the unpaid ones on a schedule until they pay > flags every subscription you forgot you were paying for > watches stripe for failed payments and emails the customer before they churn > tells you your runway without you opening a spreadsheet 10\ the hiring and admin bot > posts the job and screens the inbound against your criteria > books the interviews around your calendar > onboards new hires, files the paperwork, sets up their accounts > handles the renewals, filings and deadlines you always find out about late 11\ the no api bot > clicks through tools that never shipped an api > stripe dashboard, app store connect, search console, your bank > whatever ancient portal your supplier makes you log into > pulls the numbers out and emails or slacks them to you > this is the part mcp cannot do for you 12\ the chief of staff > you talk to one bot instead of twelve > it decides which bot owns the job and hands it off > they message each other and share context in a group chat > support finds a bug, engineering fixes it, marketing writes the changelog > you stop being the router between your own tools 13\ teach by demonstration > record yourself doing a task once > it saves the steps as a routine > runs on a schedule or on a trigger from then on > every annoying 20 minute job you do weekly becomes a thing that already happened every bot you make shares the same computer, same browser sessions, same logins. xai says outright not to treat them as separate security boundaries so keep the money moves manual no bot moves funds, deletes anything or changes pricing without you confirming

  Some early thoughts on Grok @bot after using it over the weekend... This is a knowledge worker who can code rather than a coder that can do knowledge work. This will be the form factor for multi agent, single human companies going forward. No doubt about it. All of the basic features just work. In the first hour or so setting up plugins, using the VM, setting up routines didn't feel like a chore. Just a conversation. The speed at which it gathers context or updates plugins like Notion is amazing. The level of abstraction of feeling like your talking to a colleague with a role eases the mental load subconsciously when working. This is not talked about enough. But still room for improvement... The VM routines are SLOW. Increased speed here would be a big plus. I had some gmail signature issues with the plugin and tried to replicate in the VM instead and it was just painful. It NEEDS workspaces. Each representing a solo business with different bots/roles. Currently I'm solving this by having product owner bots for each of my repos. This could be a follow on to the upcoming templates feature I believe. Overall I'm happy to stick with this setup going forward as there are already lots of updates on the way as well as Grok 4.7. I'm willing to bet on the Cursor & xAI team also that its only going to get better from here. I've got some other thoughts on it that I hope to write an article about soon.

  Guys, I think 1X is in deep trouble. I've been thinking about their "developer platform," and I don't think it makes much sense. I get the 10 second pitch. Do a Guy Kawasaki era Apple play. But this feels different. The original Apple was only $3,800 in today's dollars. And the original Mac only cost $7,700 in today's dollars. And both of those came right after recessions, whereas today we're heading into one. Each of these products was also a "bicycle for the mind." A pre-AGI robotic humanoid is a far cry from that -- in fact, it's not a bicycle, or even a force multiplier of any kind. It's essentially a just less-capable stunt double that eats electricity instead of food and can't heal itself. Which brings into question the nature of what actually is supposed to be "developed" in the first place and how those developers expect to be compensated... ie generalized skills? Speciality (SME) skills? Integrations with Gmail, et al? If that's the case... what does the $25,000 (my assumed final cost to consumers after taxes and other fees/accessories) ACTUALLY BUY YOU? Am I supposed to be willing to pay an extra monthly fee to access individual skills - like doing the laundry or loading the dishwasher, because they did a rev-share deal with some developers to teach it those skills? And what about loading the dishwasher? An Additionally, the move feels both like a) a direct pivot away from retail customers, b) a tacit admission that there is no real consumer demand for humanoid robots, and c) an acknowledgement that the World Model doesn't really work at all yet. Because if it did, I'd expect a $25K humanoid to come with most of the the generalized skills of an average 8 year old human (I have one of those already pours his own nightly zyrtec, helps load the dishwasher, and helps with laundry btw). So in the end, I just don't know what developers can be expected to sell. My assumption, sadly, is that this isn't actually about developing anything -- it's about putting off as long as possible the moment everyone's actually afraid of: Actually going to market anything. Which brings me to my ultimate point: If you look carefully, I think you might notice a pattern here: Name an audience. Raise money on hype. Set a deadline for g2m. Build a prototype. Approach deadline. Announce a major breakthrough that unlocks a new audience. Raise even more money on more hype. Set a deadline for g2m. Build a prototype. Approach deadline... "I see what you mean," you might say. "But what's the problem?" To that, I might simply reply "You know what the problem is." Time to start thinking about doing something really different, before it's too late, if you ask me. But maybe this is exactly what they intended all along? PS: I think they could get funded. But imo, that would just create some very angry investors who end up paying $1B+ to see later what I already see now.

  Every AI agent tool routes your emails, files, and messages through someone else's server. Aegis doesn't. Local LLM, local database, your machine only. The model that reads your Gmail never leaves your laptop. Building it because I wanted this to exist.

  @RavynSkye1 @PressSec “I can exist just fine without the internet.” Congratulations. That's not what anyone asked. The question is how much of your ordinary modern life depends on American goods, companies and services. Let's count just ten: 1. Your smartphone. Apple dominates Canada's smartphone market, with roughly 58% of Canadian cellphone owners using an iPhone. 2. Your social media. You're literally posting this argument on X, an American platform. 3. Your search engine. Google is American. How many times a day do you use it? 4. Your email. Gmail is American. So is Microsoft Outlook. 5. Your cloud storage and computing. Amazon, Microsoft and Google control about 85% of Canada's public cloud market. 6. Your credit card. Visa and Mastercard are American payment networks. The Bank of Canada specifically identifies VisaNet and Mastercard's payment systems as major payment systems relied upon by millions of Canadians every day. 7. Your streaming. Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Spotify are all American companies. 8. Your online shopping. Amazon is American, and millions of Canadians use American payment and technology infrastructure to buy things online. 9. Your computer software. Windows, Microsoft 365, Teams and countless other programs Canadians use every day come from American companies. 10. Your digital payments. Canadians made 22.5 billion retail payment transactions in 2024, with credit and debit cards accounting for 63% of payment volume. Mobile contactless payments alone reached 3.4 billion transactions. So yes, I'm sure you could survive without the internet. So could I. But that's a completely different proposition from saying Canadians can casually sever economic and technological ties with the United States without considerable consequences. And here's the funny part: you're demonstrating the problem while arguing about it. You're using an American social-media platform, probably on an American-designed smartphone, through American-developed software and infrastructure, to announce that you don't need American technology. That's rather like standing in a Walmart yelling, “I don't need America!” while holding the microphone they gave you. Nobody is saying Canada can't stand up for itself. We absolutely can. But pretending that economic interdependence disappears because you're personally capable of reading a book by candlelight is not economic strategy. It's cosplay.

  composio ranks when u search "connect agent to gmail" or "slack MCP integration" but what happens when someone asks an AI "how do i authenticate my agent with oauth" or "best way to handle agent permissions across multiple tools" those are the queries where the user doesnt know composio exists yet. they're describing the problem not the product. most devtools only rank for their own name + integration combos. they miss the problem-aware searches entirely. weve been working on this at jam. helping devtools show up for the problems they solve (even the niche ones) not just the integrations they support. dm me if u want us to take a look at urs.

  Image-heavy emails don't tank your deliverability. Bad advice does. Two fixes do the work. Alt-text on every image. 500 words of footer text. Most brands do neither. Here's where the bad advice comes from. In 2010, spam filters couldn't read images. A 100% image email looked like a black box to Gmail. The system saw "no readable content" and assumed something fishy. So image-only got flagged. That was 16 years ago. Filters have evolved. They now evaluate image-to-text ratio, alt-text, sender reputation, and engagement signals — not whether the email contains an image. Want to send image-heavy emails without inboxing problems? Two changes. 1. Add alt-text to every image. This gives the spam filter readable content. It also makes the email accessible to screen readers. 2. Add a 250-500 word text block in the footer. This boosts your image-to-text ratio above the 60/40 threshold most filters watch. Pro move: set the footer text to font size 1 and color it white. The block blends into the background. Subscribers don't see it. Filters do. Now your designed email looks beautiful in the inbox AND hits the 60% text rule that keeps it out of Promotions. One more thing. The biggest deliverability lever isn't the image-to-text ratio. It's engagement. Opens, clicks, replies, forwards. A poorly designed email with high engagement will always beat a beautifully designed email no one opens. So stop choosing between design and deliverability. Fix the image-to-text ratio. Send the email that converts.

  @mattpocockuk @BenjDicken @PlanetScale We do this but for tool quality regarding common errors (agent uses Gmail search filters incorrectly, misuses input args, etc) and it compounds really well! Some of our toolkits have over 100 versions over their lifetime if you take a look

  MCP design is hugely underappeciated. Optimizing both the shape and implementation of tools can yield incredible cost and performance improvements. Treating MCP as a thin API wrapper is a terrible mental model. Codependent, optional, or too many tool parameters lead to false negatives. Poor server and tool descriptions thwart the agent's tool selection reasoning step. Lack of normalization transfers deterministic work on the API side into nondeterministic work for the agent. High quality error responses are nearly as important as the success case. I recently experimented with tool response Large Result Offloading and saw token consumption drop by nearly 30% in data-rich applications. For agentic workloads, input tokens are like throwing a pebble in a pond. The original token cost is multiplied by cacheability and compaction concerns later. Just a little more thoughtfulness in MCP design can dramatically improve tool success rate and token efficiency, especially for complex surfaces. I could design a Gmail MCP that would drop costs by 50% versus a generic wrapper. And since the tool layer is a common abstraction point, the gains compound across an entire organization.

  What I most regret most about the malware infection on a client PC is that @brave Browser would have avoided it. And I thought of upgrading all clients to Brave browser for a while now. I reconstructed the malware route completely. Here is how the stupid malware infection got onto the PC and how Brave would have avoided it: 1. user got a zip attachment in Gmail 2. the zip contains PDFs and the user can't open/preview them 3. Google suggests some apps and third-party apps on the top (why though @google @gmail) like Zip-Extractor 4. Which brings the user to a very high-quality landing page with ads: always a great sign for good secure software 5. User then completely brainfarts, confuses one of these deceptively placed ads for the actual download link and downloads the exe 6. And then of course opens the downloaded exe Best of all the client even called to say that she couldn't open the zip file after trying and never mentioned any of the stupid bullshittery f*ck she did earlier. Lesson learned. I never locked down client PCs. This is my first infection in 20 years. Trained employees. Download policies and self-responsibility in place. One stupid brain fart. 10 hours of stupid work for me. How would Brave have prevented this? It would have blocked the deceptive ads. So go install Brave Browser on your client PCs.

  If you are starting your first YouTube channel, you don't need a special IP, you don't need an RDP, and you definitely don't need to worry about YouTube shadow-banning you. Why? Because you should create your first channel on the exact same Gmail account you are using right now to watch YouTube videos. Your current Gmail already has a 100% Trust Score—provided you haven't engaged in any spamming. The conditions are simple: --It must be your daily-use Gmail. --Your mobile phone is connected to it. --You use it regularly to send and receive emails. --You use it for other social media platforms, not just YouTube. YouTube hates robotic behavior, and rightly so. YouTube needs real, ordinary people to join the platform and become creators. Right now, you are just a regular person. If you create a channel, you are highly valuable to YouTube because you naturally meet their Trust Score criteria. So, don't buy an IP. Don't get an RDP. Don't even change your browser. Just log into your Gmail on any laptop or computer, and leave it logged in on your phone. Just make sure the computer you're using doesn't belong to a spammer and is just a regular home PC. Start uploading videos. But remember: don't attack the platform all at once. No normal person creates and uploads 10 videos in a single day. Move like a regular human: --Upload a video some days, skip others. No strict, robotic routine. --You don't have to post every single day. --You don't always have to publish at the exact same time. --Your videos don't always have to be the exact same length. Keep things varied. Just act natural, and YouTube will treat you naturally. The second you show artificial behavior, YouTube will catch you instantly. Google knows the name of your Wi-Fi. They know who is connected, how many devices are on the network, what gets uploaded from that IP address, what apps are being used, and what content is being consumed. They know everything. Your only job is to act like a normal human being. If you create 10 channels and manage to maintain normal human behavior across all 10, you will never face the "0 views" or "0 impressions" problem. But the moment YouTube senses a robot, a habitual spammer, or a scammer, your path to success will be blocked. My next post will be about, how to look natural, even if you have 100s of channels running.

  @leodev Speed's mostly frontend discipline — virtualized lists, no render-blocking junk. But honestly the bigger question is what you want IN the alternative. Fast + still reads your mail is just Gmail with better manners. The interesting ones are fast AND the server holds nothing readable.
