What is Gumloop?
Gumloop 13.2 rebuilds the app around teams and adds plain-language rules for agent tool calls.
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. In October it gave agents a real browser (12.0), then 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness for longer work and added organization-wide evaluations, and 13.1 let live artifacts drive agents through the SDK. 13.2 reorganizes the app around team Homes, adds click-to-edit annotations on web artifacts, and introduces App Rules, where a decisions model judges each tool call and can block, tag or require approval.
What is Hunter?
Hunter moves prospecting into AI assistants, with a ChatGPT app and MCP setup for every client.
Hunter is an email-finding and outreach platform. Its late-September releases put the product inside AI assistants: a ChatGPT app on every plan including Free, native setups for Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and a hosted MCP server for Cursor and other clients. Saved searches now flag new matching companies. Earlier in the year it built out Sequences with A/B testing, managed domains and inbox warm-up.
Gumloop vs Hunter: editorial side-by-side
Gumloop
7.5MKT AUTO
Gumloop 13.2 rebuilds the app around teams and adds plain-language rules for agent tool calls.
◆ Current state
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. In October it gave agents a real browser (12.0), then 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness for longer work and added organization-wide evaluations, and 13.1 let live artifacts drive agents through the SDK. 13.2 reorganizes the app around team Homes, adds click-to-edit annotations on web artifacts, and introduces App Rules, where a decisions model judges each tool call and can block, tag or require approval.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from building agents to operating them at org scale. Team Homes, task-type performance data and an Evaluations agent point at managers as the audience, while App Rules extends decision models from triggers to tool-call guardrails. Artifacts keep turning into small apps that people refine directly.
◆ Prediction
Expect App Rules to widen across connectors and more team-level reporting at the usual weekly pace; the entries don't show pricing changes.
Hunter
0.0MKT AUTODEVOPS
Hunter moves prospecting into AI assistants, with a ChatGPT app and MCP setup for every client.
◆ Current state
Hunter is an email-finding and outreach platform. Its late-September releases put the product inside AI assistants: a ChatGPT app on every plan including Free, native setups for Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and a hosted MCP server for Cursor and other clients. Saved searches now flag new matching companies. Earlier in the year it built out Sequences with A/B testing, managed domains and inbox warm-up.
◆ Where it's heading
Hunter is splitting into two surfaces: Sequences as a full outbound stack (provisioning, warm-up, pacing, testing) and the data layer exposed to assistants through MCP. Metrics changes such as recipient-based engagement rates apply to the API and MCP tools too, so both surfaces stay in step.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the Sequences workflow reachable from assistants, since the ChatGPT app already launches sequences while ChatGPT limits email-finding requests there.
