The backstory
Gumloop is a no-code platform for building AI-powered workflows, letting teams drag together automations that scrape, summarize and route data with models in the loop. Agentic assistants that plan multi-step work sound like competition, but Gumloop was built AI-first, so smarter models make its canvas more capable rather than obsolete. It survived because the value is the reliable, shareable, repeatable workflow, with connectors, scheduling and team controls, not a one-off chat that plans a task and forgets it.
