  5. BUILD THIS AS YOUR FIRST PROJECT PROJECT: A LEAD QUALIFICATION SYSTEM WHAT YOU NEED: • Google Forms or Tally • Google Sheets • Make, Zapier, or n8n • An AI model • Gmail THE WORKFLOW: 1. Create a form asking for: • Name • Email • Business • Required service • Budget range • Deadline • Main problem 2. Save every response in Google Sheets. 3. Send the response to AI. 4. Ask AI to return: • Lead category • Urgency • Best service • Missing information • Suggested next step • Personalized reply 5. Save the result beside the original lead. 6. Create a Gmail draft. Do not send it automatically at first. 7. Notify yourself when a qualified lead arrives. 8. Test the workflow using at least five different submissions before using it with real customers.

  This week in tech 👇 Stripe acquired OpenRouter for $7B+ — the biggest AI infrastructure deal of the year. Stripe now routes payments AND AI model traffic. 8M developers just became Stripe's AI customers. The payments-to-AI pipeline is real. Anthropic gave Claude Gmail send/reply/forward + Google Drive file management. Agents no longer draft — they act in your real inbox. The approval-first default is smart, but the boundary between "assistant" and "actor" just dissolved. OpenAI paused frontier model training. Sam Altman confirmed it this week. After Astra solved 10 open math problems, the question isn't capability — it's what happens when you stop scaling and let the model catch its breath. Google is buying Spirit Airlines' data to feed its AI models. Flight patterns, passenger behavior, operational telemetry — all training fuel. The most unexpected data acquisition strategy of the year. When an airline dies, its data lives on in your search results. 👀

  And there is an even bigger strategic idea which government can implement. If India wants domestic messaging companies to succeed without banning WhatsApp, the best government intervention isn’t “Please download Indian apps.” It is interoperability and portability. Think about mobile phones. If Airtel subscribers could only call Airtel subscribers, Airtel’s network effect would be enormous. But because an Airtel number can call Jio or Vi, companies compete on service instead of holding users hostage through their social graph. Email works similarly. Gmail users can email Outlook users. Imagine an open messaging standard where: Arattai ↔ another Indian messenger ↔ eventually WhatsApp/other compliant platforms could exchange basic encrypted messages with user consent. Then a new messaging company wouldn’t need 500 million users on day one. That would fundamentally change the competitive structure. There are serious technical, spam, identity, encryption and regulatory problems to solve, so it isn’t something Zoho can unilaterally impose on WhatsApp. But Indian government could encourage open messaging standards and data portability rather than bans. I think that’s a much healthier form of digital sovereignty. 3/4

  I'm sick of Google's constant privacy grab. Signing into gmail now means auto signin into Chrome. And they make your life miserable if you try to prevent it. Also, NO I WILL NOT TAKE A SELFIE. This denigrating practice has to stop. If this ever becomes mandatory I will switch.

  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.

  I still don't understand why everyone isn't doing this. Thanks to this setup, in 3 weeks I offloaded work I was paying an assistant $2000 a month to do On August 11, xAI shipped Grok Bot, a thing that replaces headcount, not tokens. Quiet launch, and in 10 days the pattern went around AI twitter under the name "chief of staff": one boss Bot plus 5 narrow worker Bots. They all run in parallel, and only the chief is allowed to message you You give each Bot a login to one service (SEC, Gmail, CRM, X), assign a role, put it on a schedule. At night they work without you, in the morning a brief lands on your desk with flags already sorted. You only approve. The more cycles run, the sharper the chief's filter gets Here is the gist: Activate SuperGrok Plus or Cursor Pro+ (access opened on August 21, before that it was locked on Heavy at $300) Install Grok Bot on Mac, Windows, Linux, or iPhone Set up 5 narrow Bots, each one on a single source and a single job Add a sixth one, the Chief. The only Bot allowed to message you. The other 5 filter through him Put it on a schedule and write your first brief like you'd DM a coworker Five minutes to set up, and you never sort your inbox in the morning again Full guide with per-agent prompts and Chief validation rules is in the article.

  CyberSignal | Cybersecurity News (@XQOPTRX) reported 28 minutes ago

  @saen_dev Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’d frame it too. Right now, prompt injection is still the more common entry point I’m seeing in published enterprise research. The tool-call side becomes more interesting once the agent already has access to things like SharePoint, Gmail, Drive, CRM, APIs, or internal search. That’s where the risk changes from “the model said something weird” to: the agent retrieved something sensitive and then used a legitimate tool to move or expose it. We’ve already seen researchers demonstrate this kind of chain with Copilot and connected services, but I wouldn’t say widespread real-world tool-call exfiltration is proven yet. Public evidence there is still much thinner than prompt-injection activity. So my current view is: Prompt injection is the entry vector. RAG, memory and tool permissions are the blast-radius multipliers. Once an agent can read data, retain context, call tools and communicate externally, the real security problem becomes much more about authorization and data flow than the model itself.

  @NickAbraham12 The domain-level tracking is the piece most people skip. Same discipline pays off on the retention side: watching engagement per sending domain caught a Gmail-only dip for one of my ecommerce clients weeks before revenue showed it, because the blend across providers hid the drop. Averages are where deliverability problems go to hide.

  On Friday night I had two Uber Eats orders from the same restaurant cancelled back-to-back, each after waiting ~45 minutes I was refunded for both, but frontline support refused to give me anything for the two wasted hours I told ChatGPT Work not to stop until it got me some kind of compensation, then let it handle the rest 15 minutes of active work and ~2.5 hours of background follow-up later, it got me $95.46 in Uber Cash here’s the full sequence: 6:11 PM: first order cancelled after a ~45 minute wait. I was refunded, but got nothing for the wasted time 6:19 PM: I told ChatGPT Work to get me some kind of consolation and not back down. It opened a support case and asked for $20 in Uber Cash 6:22 PM: the first agent refused any credit or promo. ChatGPT rejected the resolution and asked for a supervisor, then tried a promo, fee waiver, Uber One extension, or membership adjustment instead 6:31 PM: a second agent also refused compensation. ChatGPT kept the case open and got it transferred to the Uber One team 7:18 PM: my second order was also cancelled after another ~45 minute wait. I was refunded again, but still received no compensation. I told ChatGPT to keep going 7:25 PM: ChatGPT opened a separate Uber One case covering both failures, raised the ask to $30, and pushed the agent to transfer it to a specialist 7:33 PM: ChatGPT submitted a separate written complaint with both cancellation times, the second order ID, and my annual Uber One membership details 7:34 PM: ChatGPT confirmed my Uber Wallet was still at $0 and set up background checks across both support cases, Gmail, and the wallet 7:50 PM: an Uber specialist approved $40.62 for the first cancellation and $54.84 for the second, totaling $95.46 in Uber Cash 8:44 PM: ChatGPT found the response, verified the credit in my actual Uber Wallet, marked the goal complete, and shut down its own follow-up automation credit where it’s due: this was a genuinely frustrating experience, but Uber ultimately made it right (& then some tbh) and treated me like a longtime, frequent customer

  steal this full system for launching faceless YouTube channels. six steps, in this exact order. save this for later. step one: niche selection most people pick a niche they're personally interested in. that's a bad approach, and it's why so many channels never get off the ground. the only question that matters is whether other people are already winning in that space. go find channels in the niche doing 100K to 1M views a month. if there are a few clearly working, that's your proof of concept. if you can't find any, the demand isn't proven and you should move on. huge emphasis on RPM here. some niches sit at $2 to $5 for every thousand views. others run $10 to $20 for the exact same view count. boring niches with high RPM are usually the play, even when they're the ones nobody wants to make videos about. step two: infrastructure this is the part everyone skips. it's also the part that ends channels. before you upload anything, every channel gets its own Gmail connected to nothing else you own, its own phone number for verification, its own dedicated IP (residential and static, not a rotating VPN), and its own anti detect browser profile. here's why it matters. YouTube doesn't just look at your content, it looks at what connects to what. same IP, same email, or same device across multiple channels and they can get linked together. one gets flagged and they could all go, which is a huge risk to take for no reason. it doesn't matter that the other channels did nothing wrong. the whole thing takes about 20 minutes per channel, so do it before you have anything worth losing. step three: branding these are rough guidelines rather than rules, but they matter more than people think. keep things consistent across everything you post. similar fonts, similar colors, similar thumbnail style. the goal is that people start recognizing your stuff in the feed before they even read the channel name. every video you post trains people to recognize the next one. that recognition is what turns a random viewer into a repeat viewer, and repeat viewers are the entire difference between a channel that plateaus and one that compounds. step four: format don't invent a format. steal one that's already working. find the outlier videos in your niche, the ones doing way more than the channel average, and break down every factor they share. length, pacing, structure, how they open, how they close. then rebuild it in your own way. nobody winning at this is inventing new formats. they're taking a proven one and adding their own twist, which is a far lower risk bet than trying to invent something from scratch and hoping an audience shows up for it. step five: retention packaging gets the click. retention decides whether YouTube pushes you after that. the first 30 seconds matter most, and if your graph nosedives before 0:30 the video could likely be dead. get to the point as soon as you can and don't waste any time getting there. then read the graph. a smooth slide down is normal and every video has it. a sharp cliff is a specific moment with a timestamp, so go rewatch that exact second. a spike means people rewound to see something again, which is your audience telling you exactly what they want more of. fix the moments, not the whole video. step six: scaling once something works, run it back. build a second channel with similar branding. or run the same concept in an adjacent niche. or take your existing channel and do the whole thing in another language. you already know the format works, so you're just pointing it somewhere new. just make sure step two is handled properly first. otherwise scaling turns into one flag taking everything down at once, and you've multiplied your risk instead of your income. the order matters as much as the steps. niche, then infrastructure, then branding, then format, then retention, then scaling. most people skip step two entirely and wonder why their portfolio disappeared in a week. bookmark this.

  denas (@denasklncs) reported 37 minutes ago

  your esp handles delivery. not deliverability. delivery means it handed the message over and the receiving server took it. that is the end of their job. whether anyone tells you what happened next depends entirely on which provider it was. yahoo sends complaints back per message. dkim based enrolment, arf reports, the most timely signal available anywhere. microsoft sends them too, through jmrp. they rebuilt that platform recently, so if you enrolled years ago you may have quietly stopped receiving anything. gmail sends nothing per message. postmaster gives you an aggregate rate and that is all. apple sends nothing at all. no feedback loop, no dashboard, no rate. their postmaster page tells you to suppress inactive subscribers instead. so for the two providers carrying most consumer ecommerce, you are working blind. and your esp cannot report a number nobody ever sent it.

  How to set up Grok Bot for your company: Grok Bot’s biggest advantage right now is it's easy setup. You can connect the tools your company already works in, port over workflows you already know work, and get an autonomous agent running without building the whole stack yourself. Here’s how I’d set it up: 1. START WITH THE SYSTEMS THAT HOLD USEFUL CONTEXT Connect the places where your company already works: > Google Drive for docs, strategy, offers, and SOPs > Slack for conversations and internal context > Gmail + Calendar for communication and meetings > Gong for customer, sales, and internal calls > GitHub + Linear for product and project context > Mixpanel for product data > Stripe for revenue signals > Clay for enrichment and outbound data Connect the systems the bot actually needs for its job. 2. DON’T INVENT YOUR FIRST WORKFLOW FROM SCRATCH This is where most people hit the cold start problem. Open Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Hermes, or whatever AI you already use every day and ask: “Based on how I work, what are the highest leverage workflows I repeat often enough to turn into autonomous agents?” Then have it package the best workflow into an .md file. You already spent months teaching your existing AI how you work. Use that context. 3. GIVE GROK BOT ONE NARROW JOB Bad: "Run my marketing" Better: "Monitor Gong, X, YouTube, and our existing content, Find topics we have authority on, Score them by TOFU / MOFU / BOFU potential, Return the highest priority SEO + AEO briefs" One bot. One job. One measurable output. 4. FEED IT THE CONTEXT THAT MAKES THE WORK YOURS For a marketing bot, I’d include: > Past campaigns and what worked > Brand voice > ICP > Offers and pricing > Content examples > Internal SOPs > Sales calls > Customer language > Previous tests > Examples of what “good” looks like The more queryable your company becomes, the more useful the agent becomes. 5. SET THE PERMISSION BOUNDARY BEFORE YOU RUN IT My rule: Read + research + draft = run freely Send + publish + spend + change records = human approval Give the agent access to the context it needs. Don’t give it unlimited permission. A simple first setup: Existing workflow ↓ Export to .md ↓ Connect 3 to 5 useful tools ↓ Give Grok Bot one job ↓ Run ↓ Review ↓ Tighten the workflow Good first bots: > Content radar > SEO / AEO brief bot > Revenue signal monitor > Marketing analyst > Customer voice miner > Outreach researcher > Project operator Grok Bot is interesting for companies because it removes a lot of the setup that normally keeps autonomous agents in the hands of technical power users.

  After doing this. I just realized. Most of you don’t see success in this. Cause you don’t actually deserve it You post 1 -2 videos per month ( low quality btw ) You generate visuals before voice overs ( your voice would be saying A. While your visuals will be on B ( inconsistent) You post 100 niches in 1 channel. You actually do not have a niche. You just keep copying viral videos and posting on your channel You just do not have any volume ( you have 4-5 videos not doing well. And already. Your tiny mind starts talking about. Some. Proxy , shadow ban? Old Gmail, New Gmail. all these just not to blame yourself for the failure that you are. Your dashboard is data. Low ctr. Below 3-4 = Thumbnail Huge drop in the first 30 secs = Hook problem Huge drops in some sections of the video = Pacing problem Low Avd : Your story sucks

  @liorsela Most AIs can do any of the one-time things people are mentioning above. Don't listen to low-functioning people; there are great uses for anyone with systems in their life. It's recurring issues where bot shines. Set up an Email Bot: Attach plugins for Gmail/Outlook, etc. so it always has acces w/o two factor auth. Instructions: Search for any high priority new messages related to AWS alarms or server issues. Create a bot that specializes in coding/development/security and hand off any potential problems for research and implement fixes where my discretion shouldn't be necessary and clear the alarms. For any severe or important issues discovered, alert me immediately by push notification and SMS. Or for everyday use make a Shopping Bot: Review my purchases in my Costco/Walmart/Amazon/XYZ store for any groceries I have purchased. Send me reminders twice a week on things I may be getting low on by estimated time of life of each item purchased. When I text you to buy cereal and protein bars, always shop for the items I have purchased prior so no new searching is necessary. Add those items to cart and get my approval, then place the order.
