What is Kit (formerly ConvertKit)?
Kit handed page-building to an agent, then went back to cleaning up the subscribers list
The Kit MCP crossing from reading a creator's list to building and editing landing pages remains the defining recent release. Since then the work has been ordinary interface repair on the subscriber surface: the Subscribers page was reorganised around search and filtering, and bulk actions became a floating menu that follows the scroll instead of sitting at the top of the list. Creator Network connection requests and custom favicons round out the window.
What is Gumloop?
Gumloop agents now trigger from webhooks and Monday.com events — the automation surface widens significantly.
Gumloop shipped webhook triggers for agents in late August, enabling any external system with HTTP capabilities to kick off an agent run with the payload it sends. Monday.com board event triggers followed, covering item creation, deletion, status changes, and updates. The revamped Connectors page now shows per-connector usage, all authentication options, and a direct account connection dialog. Insights gained dedicated tabs for tasks, agents, skills, artifacts, teams, and connectors.

Kit handed page-building to an agent, then went back to cleaning up the subscribers list
◆ Current state
The Kit MCP crossing from reading a creator's list to building and editing landing pages remains the defining recent release. Since then the work has been ordinary interface repair on the subscriber surface: the Subscribers page was reorganised around search and filtering, and bulk actions became a floating menu that follows the scroll instead of sitting at the top of the list. Creator Network connection requests and custom favicons round out the window.
◆ Where it's heading
The Kit MCP is the axis, and it has already made its jump — from read-and-analyze in May to producing the published artifact in July. What follows is consolidation: the manual surfaces are being tidied so the things an agent can do and the things a creator does by hand sit on comparable footing. Nothing in this window extends the MCP itself, which makes the current period a pause rather than a redirection.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to extend to more of the artifacts Kit publishes now that landing pages have proven the pattern. The subscriber-page work reads as a finished cleanup rather than the start of a larger rebuild.
Gumloop
7.5MKT AUTO
Gumloop agents now trigger from webhooks and Monday.com events — the automation surface widens significantly.
◆ Current state
Gumloop shipped webhook triggers for agents in late August, enabling any external system with HTTP capabilities to kick off an agent run with the payload it sends. Monday.com board event triggers followed, covering item creation, deletion, status changes, and updates. The revamped Connectors page now shows per-connector usage, all authentication options, and a direct account connection dialog. Insights gained dedicated tabs for tasks, agents, skills, artifacts, teams, and connectors.
◆ Where it's heading
Gumloop is building toward being a universal automation hub: receive events from anywhere, route to AI agents, observe everything. The trigger addition pattern (Monday.com after webhooks) suggests the team is systematically adding SaaS platform triggers alongside the generic webhook entry point. The Insights overhaul and Highlights feature in Daily Chew are building toward a self-explaining automation layer — agents that surface action items with pre-written plans.
◆ Prediction
The next trigger sources are likely Google Calendar and email events, given the reference to Gumball's Outlook Smart integration, which would make Gumloop competitive with Zapier's core integration market on the most-used workflow triggers.
