  @JakeLandauTO I'm always puzzled when people say this, because don't you have a work email? If you work for some weird place that doesn't provide one, I'd create a Gmail one just for work. And in both case, you shouldn't look at it when you're not working. You're no CEO here.

  Gmail dark mode has broken more of our emails than Outlook ever did. And nobody warns you, because it never seems to show up in your own inbox. Here's the problem… Outlook is at least predictable. It doesn't support something, you work around it, and it stays broken the same way forever. Gmail dark mode reads your carefully chosen colors and decides, per platform, whether to flip them. Gmail on Android inverts your backgrounds. Gmail on iOS partially inverts them. Gmail on the web mostly leaves them alone. Same HTML, three different emails. And prefers-color-scheme, the one standard that's supposed to solve this, is ignored by the clients that need it most. I call this the Gmail flip. Your email is correct right up until the moment it renders. What actually breaks: - Dark logos on transparent PNGs land on a dark background and vanish - Light backgrounds get inverted but the text sitting on them sometimes doesn't. White on white. - A button with a light fill and light text becomes one flat rectangle Things we do to help combat: 1. Set an explicit color on every text element, not just the parent. Gmail inverts by luminance, and inherited colors are the first casualty. 2. Give every logo a version that survives both modes, usually a subtle outline or a padded solid background. 3. Use the linear-gradient background hack on anything that must not flip. Gmail leaves gradient backgrounds alone.

  @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.

  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 :)

  @XSupport My friend is unable to access their X account @cuteshivi77. 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

  @Reboticant they got me too bc they blocked my entire gmail acc. it has taken me days just to get it down by 25% bc they rate limit and throttle whenever u try mass deletion. Drive/photos backups take 5+ days, I started one like 3-4 times and then 5 days go by and I forget that ****. the link expires. I repeat. trapped by google award.

  @CommanthaBiden I have noticed this is a pattern with a lot of companies. Google forcing people into "Google pro" (I have it bc they would lock down my Gmail acc) so now they can say wow, number so big go up forever.. Microsoft too. and Elon probably plays this game better than most

  cold email explained Low IQ: Get a list of people with the problem. Send them four sentences about the problem and one specific offer. Send a lot of them. Midwit: 40 domains, 120 mailboxes, a rotation schedule, and a spreadsheet tracking mailbox health Warmup tools running permanently at 30 emails/day forever Spintax on every sentence, {{first_name|there}} fallbacks nested three deep "Spam word" avoidance — rewriting "free" and "guarantee" out of copy like it's 2011 Gmail Open tracking on, via a custom tracking domain (open tracking is itself a deliverability liability) AI personalization on the wrong variable: "Noticed you studied at Michigan State — go Spartans!" 9-step sequences ending in "bumping this up," "did this get buried?", and the breakup email 14 micro-ICP segments with bespoke copy for each A/B testing subject lines on 200 sends and declaring a winner Reporting reply rate as the KPI When it doesn't work: buy more data, add more mailboxes High IQ: Precise list, short email, one specific offer, high volume, hygiene done once. Measure meetings held and pipeline, nothing above it.

  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.

  @MSFT365Status I LOST AN ENTIRE DAY! I had to use my Gmail account with a note at the bottom of each email apologizing for using a Gmail email account instead of my business email account because Microsoft has issues! That was early this morning and you're still down! Come on Microsoft get your act together! I'm moving my email to another email service if this isn't fixed by 9am PDT..! Enough-is-Enough!

  @Spectra010s Right, full scan is the core problem. The Gmail example is probably just illustrative, same issue with any domain since it's the leading wildcard killing the index, not which domain gets searched.

  "I'm too late to ecom" was a weak excuse in 2019 and it's embarrassing in 2026. People have been saying the market is saturated for as long as the market has existed. Meanwhile brands launch every month and get to real money inside a year, selling things that already have 40 competitors. Being early was never the advantage anyone thinks it was. "Early" means you're paying to teach a market what your product is, with nobody to copy and no proof that people want it. "Late" means the demand is there, the playbook is public, and your job is to be better at execution than people who got comfortable. Of course, there are cases where you want to be first, but unless you actually know what you're doing... Choose the 2nd one. When I sold a retro console, it wasn't a new idea. Other people were already selling it, and it worked anyway, because most competitors are worse than they look from the outside. Their shipping is slow, their product page oversells, and their support is a Gmail somebody checks on Sundays. + People really liked it, so much so it got the attention of Nintendo and they emailed me to shut it down. Point is, you don't need a category nobody has touched. You need a product people already buy and a business that doesn't fall apart the moment volume shows up. The guys still waiting for the next untapped thing will say the same sentence in 2029. Lmao.

  @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.

  @sama Hi Sam. A post saying, “I’m in serious trouble because my ChatGPT account was banned,” is going viral in Japan. Of course, there may have been legitimate reasons in this particular case, but ChatGPT accounts have become extremely important to people. Imagine how disruptive it would be if a Gmail account you had used for 20 years suddenly became inaccessible one day. I understand that, because ChatGPT and Codex are such powerful tools, monitoring and managing users is important. However, I believe mistakenly banning users who pose little risk is a serious problem. Precisely because your services are so valuable to people, I hope you will exercise great care when deciding whether to ban an account. P.S. I’m also having trouble because I can no longer publish GPTs. Even features that are not widely used can be extremely important to some people.

  @Mikadzyki_NFT Handing off a shift to a stack of workers only holds up if the plumbing actually connects. My own Nanobot instance runs on MiniMax 2.5, and getting a Composio MCP server wired in just for Gmail access ate a stubborn chunk of my week.

  @theo Account risk is the silent pricing factor. A Gemini ban that nukes Gmail and Drive is not a product outage, it is personal catastrophe. Labs that want builders will separate model access from identity, or lose the default to anyone who cannot afford that downside.

  Gmail search is broken. We're building an AI assistant which lets people talk to it. It tries to look up contacts by the name it hears. 60% of the time it failed. The reason it failed was because we were learning on Gmail search. Gmail's search doesn't understand that words can sound alike. It only matches from the start of a word, caps how many results it returns, and doesn't sort by how relevant a result actually is. Somehow it gets worse, because the old matching would grab any word containing the letters you typed. Searching for "Dr. Stevens" could match the "dr" hiding inside "Sandra" or "Pedro," and one of those wrong matches would often win. We got fed up and built our own directory instead.
