What is Gumloop?
Gumloop 13.4 trims agent tool use by about 40% and shows agents across all teams.
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness for longer work, 13.2 added team Homes and App Rules for tool-call approval, and 13.3 let organizations publish agents to Okta. 13.4 gives agents a smaller core toolset plus one search over the rest, using about 40% fewer tokens per step, shows agents, triggers and artifacts across every team a user belongs to, and lets admins route the agent browser through their own proxy.
What is Optimove?
Optimove's API can now delete customer profiles, 10,000 at a time.
Optimove keeps adding API surface. The newest endpoint deletes up to 10,000 customer profiles per request, asynchronously, with the outcome posted to a callback URL; batch-ingested customers and ID-mapped environments are excluded. Before that, the work centred on the loyalty and gamification layer: player-scoped leaderboards, loyalty store endpoints, participation tokens and gameplay limits.

Gumloop
7.5MKT AUTO
Gumloop 13.4 trims agent tool use by about 40% and shows agents across all teams.
◆ Current state
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness for longer work, 13.2 added team Homes and App Rules for tool-call approval, and 13.3 let organizations publish agents to Okta. 13.4 gives agents a smaller core toolset plus one search over the rest, using about 40% fewer tokens per step, shows agents, triggers and artifacts across every team a user belongs to, and lets admins route the agent browser through their own proxy.
◆ Where it's heading
After expanding what agents can reach, Gumloop is now working on cost, speed and admin control for organizations running many agents. Slack agents that answer every channel message push them further into always-on roles.
◆ Prediction
More enterprise controls are likely next: proxy, registry and approval features suggest deeper identity and network policy, plus further token-cost cuts.
Optimove
5.0MKT AUTO
Optimove's API can now delete customer profiles, 10,000 at a time.
◆ Current state
Optimove keeps adding API surface. The newest endpoint deletes up to 10,000 customer profiles per request, asynchronously, with the outcome posted to a callback URL; batch-ingested customers and ID-mapped environments are excluded. Before that, the work centred on the loyalty and gamification layer: player-scoped leaderboards, loyalty store endpoints, participation tokens and gameplay limits.
◆ Where it's heading
Optimove is filling in programmatic control on both ends of the customer record: engagement mechanics for players and now data removal. The deletion endpoint's exclusions show the data model still has paths the API can't reach. Expect steady endpoint-by-endpoint expansion rather than headline launches.
◆ Prediction
A follow-up extending deletion to batch-ingested customers or ID-mapped environments is the most likely next API change.
