Ved (@vedanshchn) reported@Garry153973 @samsheffer @gmail Gmail app works pretty well. What problems do you face? I do want them to let us use the default iOS message/email tunes though.

CyberMike+AI+Bots=LFG (@CunningLinguini) reported@GergelyOrosz Good post. Here's my take: connecting several Gmail accounts without a new tab per inbox is the boring win. Codex and Cowork still make you live in one login. That's why it feels like staff.

NHGal (@djjsilkfarm) reported@SecKennedy Got a new response from support (I did tech support for most of my career...I'm available if you need a truly responsive rep). Here is their newest advice with my response to them: Did you test it with a Gmail email account? Did you test it with MY EMAIL?

OVERCLASSIFIED (@overclassifiedx) reported🦠 THEY HID FEDERAL RECORDS FOR YEARS 🔒 On August 18 2026, David Morens, longtime senior adviser to Anthony Fauci, pleaded guilty to conspiring to conceal COVID origins communications by routing them through personal Gmail to dodge FOIA and the Federal Records Act. Five years of deliberate record management around a lab linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. If that level of institutional self protection was used on a public pandemic, the same machinery has had decades to lock down UAP retrieval programs, reverse engineering efforts, and the black budget networks that fund them. What else has stayed off the official servers?

Prajwal Tomar (@PrajwalTomar_) reportedI built this in a single day. Gmail inbox triage. Auto-tagged leads. Kanban pipeline. Synced to a Google Sheets lead tracker. Two years ago agencies would have quoted 2 months and $15K for this. Lovable is not a UI builder anymore. You can build literally ANYTHING inside it. I've used it almost daily for over a year. Shipped 50+ MVPs with it. For clients. For myself. For the agency. I finally wrote down the whole system. Full breakdown in the article below.

Avid (@Av1dlive) reportedthis guy just dropped a library of 4 INSANE workflows for Grok Bot →support desk: a chief of staff bot routes tickets, drafts replies, pings me only for refunds or anger →money + ops: a bot processes invoices in gmail and keeps the books moving without me →content: a bot scopes the brief, cites sources, hands me a publish-ready draft →build: a bot reproduces the bug, files the ticket, hands the fix to the next bot plus it's free... all you do is send these screenshots to Grok

jux for all (@smitchthekid) reported@gmail hi hello, real operator here. Can you fix the error in Gmail mobile on Pixel 10 where I can't respond to or find the current draft is in the queue. I continually get the same error over and over again that I can't have multiple drafts, yet there is no draft visible -mgmt

Dean Hunt (@deanhunt) reported@poteto @billykyle Anything that solves the issues with loading sites. Gmail works well, but a significant amount of sites and services have it detected as a bot and won’t work. MCP integration to X feels like low hanging fruit too :)

Kyle Wolt (@Kyle_Wolt) reported@armandokirwin @petergyang @ChatGPT I have on thread that is starting to get super slow and nothing it’s because I use it with browser and Gmail triage heavily

dvduval (@phpld) reported@imosvaldoe You could always use a different Gmail account to login on another device if it’s just a one off like that or use a different model on their free mode. There’s quite a few available.

The Engulfing Guy 🌊 (@TheEngulfingGuy) reportedDang, hit my grok bot limit, and there is 6 days until the reset. Trying to clear out my Gmail backlog really wore ol' boy down. A Grok bot reset would be slick right now...

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedGROKBOT JUST MADE AI TEAMS STUPIDLY EASY TO BUILD. But after 20 minutes of testing it, I hit the problem that could kill the whole idea. Why Grokbot is interesting: → Telegram-style interface for managing entire AI teams → Give different bots different roles, including a CEO bot → Agents get their own computers in the cloud → Connect tools like Gmail with a couple of clicks → No Mac Mini, terminal setup, API gymnastics, or local model decisions Where it falls apart: ✓ My supposed week-long trial ran out of usage credits in roughly 20 minutes ✓ Computer use burned through tokens while struggling with a simple CAPTCHA ✓ You're currently locked into Grok rather than choosing Claude/local models ✓ It's not open source, so pricing, limits, and model access aren't under your control My current AI agent ranking: ClaudeBot: 3/10 looking back Hermes Agent: 6–7/10 Grokbot: 6/10 Grokbot wins on simplicity. Hermes wins on control. If Grokbot can fix the usage limits without destroying that simplicity, this gets VERY interesting.

Wasim (@WasimShips) reportedhow to plan a full AI product with @mattpocockuk 's wayfinder skill wayfinder is a Claude Code skill for planning work too large and foggy for one session, and it fits AI product development insanely well because most builds begin with a clear outcome but dozens of unresolved decisions underneath it. You might know you want: "an AI support agent that resolves 70% of tickets automatically" but you still need to decide: - what company data the agent can access - which actions require human approval - how memory works across conversations - what happens when an integration fails - how usage connects to billing most vibe-coded products start building before these decisions exist, which is why the database changes twice, onboarding gets rebuilt, frontend waits on backend decisions and Claude rewrites code it shipped 3 days ago. Wayfinder turns that fog into a connected decision map before it becomes expensive code. heres the workflow: 1. DEFINE THE DESTINATION: Start with one concrete product outcome that explains who the user is, what they can do and where the workflow ends. "build an AI sales tool" leaves too much open. "a founder connects Gmail, the agent finds qualified conversations, drafts follow-ups and asks for approval before sending" gives every future decision a clear filter. 2. MAP THE OPEN DECISIONS: Wayfinder works backwards from that destination and identifies the unanswered questions blocking the product, such as Gmail permissions, company memory, approval rules, error handling, user visibility and paid usage. Each question becomes a connected decision ticket, so product context lives in one map instead of disappearing across chats, calls and random docs. 3. FIND THE FRONTIER: Some decisions block several others behind them. You need to define what the agent can access before designing approvals, logs and user permissions. Wayfinder surfaces the open questions that can be resolved right now, giving Claude a useful next step instead of letting it grab the easiest feature in the repo. 4. SPLIT HUMAN AND AGENT WORK: Each decision gets classified by who should resolve it: - HITL: founder judgement, product taste or a business tradeoff - AFK: research Claude can complete using docs, APIs and the codebase Pricing and user experience stay with the founder, while OAuth limitations and integration research can run independently. This keeps the build moving while the important product decisions remain intentional. 5. RESOLVE ONE DECISION PER SESSION: Each session explores one question, records the answer and updates the map. Resolving Gmail scopes can reveal approval rules, which reveal the activity log, which then shapes the database model. The product spec grows through small permanent decisions, and future Claude sessions can understand WHY the system was designed that way instead of guessing from the existing code. 6. TURN THE MAP INTO BUILDABLE WORK: Once the important decisions are clear: - run /to-spec to generate the complete product specification - run /to-tickets to split it into buildable tasks - identify independent tickets agents can execute in parallel - keep blocked work outside active development The result is a build where frontend screens connect to real backend decisions, agent actions have clear boundaries and integrations already have failure paths. Claude can write code fast. Wayfinder makes sure that code is solving the right product decisions before it reaches the repo !

Abhishek Kumar (@mabhi1999) reportedI thought building AI Email Client would be simple, but I was totally wrong. Currently I am solving this problem: How can a single user add multiple account (gmail) and sync along with proper label analysis of 100k mails.

Wasim (@WasimShips) reportedhow to plan a full AI product without the chaos (wayfinder by @mattpocockuk ) in <30 Steps : 1. start with one concrete outcome, not a vague idea 2. weak: "build an AI sales tool". clear: "founder connects gmail, agent finds qualified convos, drafts follow ups, asks approval before sending" 3. that one sentence becomes the filter for every decision after it 4. most vibe coded builds skip this and start typing prompts immediately 5. 3 days in the database model has already changed twice 6. onboarding has 4 different half built versions 7. the agent has no clear boundaries on what it can and cant do 8. frontend is stuck waiting on backend decisions that were never made 9. claude ends up rewriting code it shipped yesterday 10. wayfinder's fix: work backwards from the destination and list every open question blocking it 11. for an AI product that means asking what data the agent can access 12. where does company context actually live 13. what can the agent execute without a human in the loop 14. how does a user inspect the agent's reasoning after the fact 15. how do retries and failures get handled 16. what counts toward paid usage 17. each open question becomes a ticket instead of a random note in a doc somewhere 18. some tickets block 5 others sitting behind them 19. example: you need to define agent access before you can design approvals, logs, or permissions 20. wayfinder surfaces which questions can actually be solved right now 21. that's the frontier. claude gets one clear next decision instead of grabbing the easiest feature in the repo 22. every ticket gets tagged HITL or AFK 23. HITL is founder judgement or a real business tradeoff, pricing lives here 24. AFK is research claude can run alone off docs, APIs, the codebase, oauth limits live here 25. one session resolves one decision and updates the map. nothing more 26. resolving gmail scopes usually reveals the approval rules 27. approval rules reveal the activity log 28. the activity log reveals the database model 29. claude keeps the reasoning attached to each decision so the next session isnt guessing why something was built that way 30. once the fog clears run /to-spec then /to-tickets and split remaining work into things agents can run in parallel Hope this helps !

Lex (@TheLexTimes) reportedHi @gmail team I believe I’m experiencing a search indexing issue that prevents me from finding certain emails. Where can I report this? I think it’s more than a classic customer support issue.

Dpac (@D_paac) reported@cb_doge @Starlink Indian govt should come up with indigenous servers to provide support for emailing.

Singular Innovation (@SingularAgency_) reportedMost businesses don't have a data problem. They have a data location problem — quotes in Gmail, pipeline in a spreadsheet, ops notes in Slack. Consolidate the sources first. Then the agents have something to act on.
