@theapplehub @grok is the backlight on the Pro touch screen model or the normal one?

[Mark @justmarkhere]

@NotionHQ @grok what’s the benefits and risks of this?

[Mark @justmarkhere]

Looking forward to testing Todoist Automations.

The two examples in the demo are the ones I'd actually use: turning meeting notes into actions and estimating how long tasks will take.

Great practical wins!

Todoist Automations goes into beta today!

Now you can connect Claude or ChatGPT via MCP to create and update automations for you.

Why use it? Our workflows compile to code, and LLMs only step in when intelligence is needed. That should make them 10x cheaper, more reliable, and more secure than free-form agents.

There is no usage-based pricing during the beta for Pro and Business accounts. Try it out and let us know what you think!

[Mark @justmarkhere]

@amix3k Thank you. Very excited to try this. Converting meeting actions to tasks and estimating tasks are great use cases!

One of my Grok Bots messaged me this morning, unprompted, to say that a friend's birthday falls while I'm away, so any card would need to be posted by Friday.

I never asked it to watch for birthdays. It joined the dots between my calendar and a Todoist note.

Just what I want from agents: less prompting, more noticing. Very impressed!

@Rishuu47 @grok can you summarise the responses?

[Mark @justmarkhere]

@ggcripto Are you receiving new mail notifications immediately on time?

[Mark @justmarkhere]

@not_sacke I like Apple Notes the best. I wish it was integrated with ChatGPT or Claude though. What about you?

[Mark @justmarkhere]

Surprisingly, neither so far. I think it helped that I was quite prescriptive up front: who people are, what we usually do together, how often we meet and where they're based.

E.g. I go to the cinema with one friend about once a month, and it suggested a date when the new Hunger Games is out. It also avoids busy periods in my calendar 😄

[Mark @justmarkhere]

Just set up a Grok Bot called Gather to help me see more of friends and family.

It tracks when we last caught up, finds dates that suit everyone, suggests activities and drafts invites.

Early days, but I like using AI to make more time for people, not just automate tasks.

[Mark @justmarkhere]

For anyone curious about the setup, Gather keeps a private relationship tracker in Notion, checks my Google Calendar (including my partner's shifts) for suitable dates, and drafts invites for me to send.

Nothing gets sent or booked without my approval.

[Mark @justmarkhere]

I’ve been using Claude Opus in both the Claude app and Microsoft 365 Copilot, and I find myself questioning Copilot’s responses more often.

I’m not sure whether it’s a genuine difference in output quality, how Copilot implements the model (system instructions, work data, etc.), or simply my own bias towards the native app.

Has anyone else noticed this or compared the two?

[Mark @justmarkhere]

@Ionkosm ChatGPT’s intelligent UI put it head and shoulders above the rest for me for everyday queries.

@mxstbr Great announcement! Could you update the iCloud Mail connection please, so sent emails show the user’s full name as the sender? It currently shows my email username. I tested Gmail for comparison, and my full name appears correctly there.

@thsottiaux @mxstbr @ChatGPT Testing ChatGPT’s iCloud Mail connection 👀 Emails show my email username as the sender instead of my full name. I tested Gmail for comparison, and my full name appeared correctly. Could this be updated so iCloud emails show my full name as the sender too, like Gmail?

Much requested, and now yours to connect: iCloud Mail and Calendar plugins are available in ChatGPT.

Ask ChatGPT to find that email, catch up on your inbox, check what’s next, or update a calendar event. Phew.

Available on all ChatGPT plans on web, desktop, and iOS.

[Mark @justmarkhere]

@onchainmo One of the unique selling points for me is X integration and how it can research what’s trending. Let us know what you end up setting up. I’m still building use cases and also use ChatGPT and Claude like you.

[Mark @justmarkhere]

@mxstbr iCloud Drive please 🙏

[Mark @justmarkhere]

Finally! 🙌 Great to see ChatGPT adding support for iCloud Mail and Calendar.

iCloud Drive next, please! 🤞

@elonmusk @bot @grok when will this become available in UK?
