About Gusto
Gusto pushes from payroll into broader SMB ops, including a ChatGPT presence.
Gusto's recent stretch covers a wide surface for a payroll product. The accountant-facing Gusto Pro dashboard added Action Items for compliance and savings; shift scheduling shipped; health benefits expanded to nationwide coverage with multi-state team support; a solo 401(k) integration with Human Interest landed for owner-only businesses. Just outside the most-recent window, Gusto launched a Gusto App in ChatGPT and replaced the Manager role with Custom Roles.
