Gumloop
Gumloop is a YC-backed no-code platform that began as a visual AI workflow builder and now centres on agents that employees build in minutes and deploy in Slack, Teams or email. It supports 35+ models with bring-your-own keys, MCP server hosting, a CLI, and a security product (Gumstack) for monitoring agent data use. Pricing is a single Pro tier with credits plus Enterprise.
What reviewers and users praise
- Users and reviewers describe it as easy for non-developers and more AI-native than Zapier or n8n (Reddit, Cybernews, diyai)
- Very frequent product updates (29 dated changelog entries in 90 days)
What they criticise
- Users report runs breaking mid-execution and an AI-first builder that is hard to control manually (Reddit)

For a Gumloop AI review in 2026, the fair verdict is this: it is one of the better AI automation platforms for serious workflow builders
DIY AI · 11 May 2026 · diyai.io - mixed
Verdict: The workflow we'd recommend Gumloop for. It's the marketing-adjacent sweet spot of the platform. Workflow 5 — Social Ops: Partially

As someone who have unlimited credits to this platform due to “connections” I can’t understand the use case. At all.

What stood out to me with Gumloop compared to tools like Zapier is that it feels much more AI-native.
r/AI_Application · 22 May 2026 · reddit.com - positive
Gumloop is actually pretty easy to use for AI workflows. Still testing it but it looks solid so far.
r/AI_Application · 6 Apr 2026 · reddit.com - negative
Gumloop is horrible. They've tried to automate everything away to their AI but their AI is incapable.
r/automation · 30 Jan 2026 · reddit.com - negative
yeah gumloop breaking mid runs is super frustrating
r/automation · 24 Mar 2026 · reddit.com - mixed
Think of GumLoop as quick build, n8n as long-term scalable different use cases, not a replacement.
r/automation · 11 Apr 2026 · reddit.com - positive
gumloop is great if you're building a system that needs to "think" through a lot of unstructured
r/automation · 9 Apr 2026 · reddit.com - mixed
It worked well. I saved roughly 10 hours a week, saw real results, and the UX and integrations were genuinely solid. The friction only showed up later
