What is Gumloop?
Gumloop agents now carry their own secrets and can run fully incognito.
Gumloop ships weekly releases built around agents. Version 12.0 added Agent Browser so agents can act on any site without an integration, 12.1 let users ask Gumball to build an agent end to end, and 12.2 adds agent-owned secrets, an always-incognito mode for enterprise admins, inline chat widgets and file management by agents.
What is OpenEMM?
OpenEMM ships versioned builds on schedule, with no notes on what changed.
OpenEMM moved to its 26.05 line in July with a full frontend and backend GA build. Since then only frontend builds have followed (26.05.111 in September, 26.05.132 in October). Earlier lines (25.11, 25.04) got maintenance releases into December 2025. No entry describes actual changes.
Gumloop vs OpenEMM: editorial side-by-side
Gumloop
7.5MKT AUTO
Gumloop agents now carry their own secrets and can run fully incognito.
◆ Current state
Gumloop ships weekly releases built around agents. Version 12.0 added Agent Browser so agents can act on any site without an integration, 12.1 let users ask Gumball to build an agent end to end, and 12.2 adds agent-owned secrets, an always-incognito mode for enterprise admins, inline chat widgets and file management by agents.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from integration-bound workflow automation toward general-purpose agents that act wherever a human could and are configured by conversation rather than a builder UI. Each capability jump is now followed by governance scaffolding: shared credentials, no-retention modes, roles and SSO pages make org-shared agents deployable beyond the team that built them.
◆ Prediction
Expect more org-wide sharing and retention controls for custom agents, and the weekly cadence of same-week model availability to continue.
OpenEMM
2.5MKT AUTO
OpenEMM ships versioned builds on schedule, with no notes on what changed.
◆ Current state
OpenEMM moved to its 26.05 line in July with a full frontend and backend GA build. Since then only frontend builds have followed (26.05.111 in September, 26.05.132 in October). Earlier lines (25.11, 25.04) got maintenance releases into December 2025. No entry describes actual changes.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is roughly two feature lines a year, then frontend-only builds and backported maintenance. The direction of the product can't be read from version numbers alone.
◆ Prediction
Another 26.05 frontend build in the next one to two months fits the cadence; the next major line's timing and content are unclear from the entries.
