We’ve built something new… and he’s called PIP. 🤖📬

PIP is your Personal Inbox Pilot, and he lives inside Mailbox MCP.

The idea is pretty simple: if AI assistants are going to be genuinely useful, they need to be able to work with the tools we already use every day.

And few things consume more of our lives than email.

Mailbox MCP lets an AI assistant work with your real mailbox — reading emails, finding messages, helping with replies and sending email when you ask it to.

No new inbox to manage. No reinventing email. Just giving AI a secure way to actually help with the one you already have.

PIP, naturally, has appointed himself Head of Looking After The Inbox. He seems worryingly pleased with the promotion.

Every WordPress 7.1 roundup this week says the same thing: it now spots your caching and speeds itself up automatically.

I read the shipped code. That feature never made it in.

Seen it repeated anywhere else? 👀

WordPress 7.1 speculative loading: the automatic cache-detection upgrade never shipped. Here is the host lever that did, and what overrides it.

"Which AI should I use?"

I get asked that more than anything else. Usually by someone who tried ChatGPT once, got something bland back, and decided the whole thing was overrated.

There isn't a best one. There's a best one for the job you're doing.

Which did you try first, and did you stick with it?

Your llms.txt plugin writes a file, then goes quiet.

Does anything actually read it? No idea. Nobody tells you.

So we built a free WordPress plugin that publishes all 10 AI Discovery Files and logs which AI bots turn up for them. Ours caught 9 different bots in 30 days.

Do you know what's reading your site? 👀

We logged 55 AI bot reads in 30 days on one WordPress site. The free plugin that publishes all 10 AI Discovery Files and shows which bots read them.

Ask an AI to find the best locksmith in your town.

Before it answers, it has to work out whether you cover that postcode, if you're free tonight, what you charge and who insures you. It can only answer from what you published.

We've run 5,985 website checks. Not one hit the top readiness tier.

Did it name you?

AI agents now shortlist and book local businesses. The 10 things your website must publish to be picked, shown working on three real UK trade sites.

Five web brands under one company usually means someone's hiding the org chart.

So we published ours. Including the bit most agencies would bury: three of the five are the same people, and it doesn't matter which one you approach.

Would you rather deal with one name, or five?

BSolve IT Limited runs 365i, Press Forge, 365i Web Design, McNeece and AI Visibility. See the work of all five in one place.

Ask an AI to fix something and it'll tell you it's fixed. Whether it actually is remains your problem.

Claude Opus 5 goes and looks before it answers. It even asks first if you're about to do something you can't undo.

👉 https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/blog/claude-opus-5-checks-its-own-work/

Has yours ever told you it was done when it wasn't? 👀

Claude Opus 5 verifies its own work and asks before risky steps. What changed, the benchmarks in plain English, and when to use it over Sonnet 5.

Go and test your brand's accent colour at webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker. Takes 2 minutes, costs nothing.

A new client's orange scored 2.59:1 this month. The legal minimum for text is 4.5:1. It failed twice over before we'd designed a single page.

👉 https://www.pressforge.co.uk/blog/2026/07/22/your-brand-colours-probably-fail-accessibility/

Did yours pass? 👀

A client's brief specified navy, silver and orange. The orange measured 2.59:1 on white and failed WCAG 2.2 AA twice. The full audit, plus how to test yours.

Launched a 23-page site for a Lincolnshire chauffeur firm this week. Mobile PageSpeed 99, zero layout shift.

A vanity 100 was sitting right there. We didn't take it.

👉 https://www.pressforge.co.uk/blog/2026/07/22/what-a-local-business-website-needs-in-2026/

Would you have chased the 100? 👀

We launched a chauffeur firm's new site yesterday: PageSpeed 99, nine hand-written town pages, AI Discovery Files from day one. The full anatomy, with numbers.

Meet your next website visitor. 👇

He doesn't see your design. He reads the code underneath, then decides whether you get recommended to a customer.

Most websites give him nothing to read.

What would he make of yours?
