Matt Shumer just got a Gmail banned because an agent was using it.
This one made me pause, because honestly I’m guilty of the same thing. My bots run on the same Gmail my clients reply to.
It works great right up until the day it doesn’t, and xAI’s own docs are clear that every bot on your account shares the same logins.
One eager bot, one weird email, and it’s not the bot that gets flagged, it’s the domain.
So that’s my fix for this week: the bots get their own mailbox, and the inbox clients reply to goes back to being mine.
Everyone shows the agent demo. Nobody shows the blast radius.

@agentmail is the way to go!
