What is Activepieces?

Activepieces patches Node.js security flaws in its 0.92.3 Docker image.

Activepieces' public release feed is dominated by hotfixes across several version lines. The latest, 0.92.3-hotfix.1, upgrades the Docker image to Node.js 24.22.1 for the October 2026 Node security fixes. It is the first entry from the 0.92 line; earlier hotfixes on 0.87 to 0.91 dealt with worker locks, piece cache prewarm and version sorting.

What is Gumloop?

Gumloop 13.0 rebuilds its agent harness for longer jobs and adds org-wide agent evaluations.

Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days, and in October it gave agents a real browser (12.0), agent-owned secrets, team sharing and embeddable AI artifacts. 13.0 is the first major version since: a revamped harness lets agents take on longer, more complex work and report progress over chat, Slack, Teams, iMessage and email. It also adds organization-wide evaluations that grade several agents at once, artifact analytics, one-step handoff of a member's agents, and WebSocket streaming in artifacts.

Activepieces vs Gumloop: editorial side-by-side

A
Activepieces
MKT AUTO
5.0

Activepieces patches Node.js security flaws in its 0.92.3 Docker image.

◆ Current state

Activepieces' public release feed is dominated by hotfixes across several version lines. The latest, 0.92.3-hotfix.1, upgrades the Docker image to Node.js 24.22.1 for the October 2026 Node security fixes. It is the first entry from the 0.92 line; earlier hotfixes on 0.87 to 0.91 dealt with worker locks, piece cache prewarm and version sorting.

◆ Where it's heading

The project keeps several minor lines alive for self-hosted users and patches them individually. Feature work shows up mainly in the unstable releases, which have not appeared in this feed since 0.90.4.

◆ Prediction

More dependency and runtime hotfixes on 0.92 are likely; the feed gives no signal on the next feature release.

Gumloop
MKT AUTO
7.5

Gumloop 13.0 rebuilds its agent harness for longer jobs and adds org-wide agent evaluations.

◆ Current state

Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days, and in October it gave agents a real browser (12.0), agent-owned secrets, team sharing and embeddable AI artifacts. 13.0 is the first major version since: a revamped harness lets agents take on longer, more complex work and report progress over chat, Slack, Teams, iMessage and email. It also adds organization-wide evaluations that grade several agents at once, artifact analytics, one-step handoff of a member's agents, and WebSocket streaming in artifacts.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from building agents to operating them at org scale: evaluations, analytics, ownership transfer and cheaper scheduled Claude agents are the controls a team needs once many agents run unattended. Artifacts are turning into small live apps, now with real-time data.

◆ Prediction

Expect evaluation results to feed into agent configuration, since custom agents can now request settings changes, and more model additions at the usual weekly pace. The entries don't show pricing changes tied to longer-running agents.
