What is Gumloop?
Gumloop 13.6 gives admins one set of rules for every tool an agent touches.
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness, 13.3 published agents to Okta, 13.4 cut agent tokens per step by about 40% and 13.5 added live multi-user tasks. 13.6 extends admin guardrails from connectors to every tool, redacts card numbers and passwords before models see them, warns when agent instructions contain credentials, adds browser allow and block lists and domain-restricted API keys, and introduces Workforce Atlas, a board of every agent and skill in the organization.
What is SendPulse?
SendPulse keeps stacking small wins across automation, chat, courses, and CRM — broad polish, no pivot.
SendPulse is shipping a steady stream of incremental improvements across its full multi-module stack — Automation 360, Chatbots, Pop-ups, Online Course Builder, CRM, and the SendPulse pixel. The recent feed is dense with small workflow primitives (tag-unlink triggers, custom payment notes, page-element-click events) and integration touchpoints (Meta Pixel transfer, mobile CRM access). No single release reframes the product.
Gumloop vs SendPulse: editorial side-by-side
Gumloop
6.3MKT AUTO
Gumloop 13.6 gives admins one set of rules for every tool an agent touches.
◆ Current state
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness, 13.3 published agents to Okta, 13.4 cut agent tokens per step by about 40% and 13.5 added live multi-user tasks. 13.6 extends admin guardrails from connectors to every tool, redacts card numbers and passwords before models see them, warns when agent instructions contain credentials, adds browser allow and block lists and domain-restricted API keys, and introduces Workforce Atlas, a board of every agent and skill in the organization.
◆ Where it's heading
Since 13.2 the releases have moved from what agents can do toward how a company controls them. 13.6 is the broadest step yet: approval rules, data redaction and secret handling now cover all agent activity, which is what security teams ask for before a wide rollout.
◆ Prediction
Expect Workforce Atlas to leave beta with more tags and reporting, and more enterprise controls such as audit exports built on the new guardrail records.
SendPulse
5.0MKT AUTO
SendPulse keeps stacking small wins across automation, chat, courses, and CRM — broad polish, no pivot.
◆ Current state
SendPulse is shipping a steady stream of incremental improvements across its full multi-module stack — Automation 360, Chatbots, Pop-ups, Online Course Builder, CRM, and the SendPulse pixel. The recent feed is dense with small workflow primitives (tag-unlink triggers, custom payment notes, page-element-click events) and integration touchpoints (Meta Pixel transfer, mobile CRM access). No single release reframes the product.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is consistent multi-surface refinement rather than a new strategic bet. SendPulse is reinforcing its position as a one-stop marketing/automation/CRM/chatbot/courses platform by closing small gaps in each module. The cadence is high but the moves are convergent — keep every surface competitive without singling out a hero feature.
◆ Prediction
Expect more small per-module improvements at this cadence, with the next likely directional move being deeper AI assistance inside the Automation 360 flow builder or chatbot — areas competitors have already pushed hardest.
