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 Zoho Forms?
Zoho Forms has been silent for over a year — AI-generated forms remain the freshest directional move.
Zoho Forms' public blog last shipped content in February 2025, a 15-month gap. The Q1 2025 batch covered form-availability scheduling, mobile image-upload enhancements, and a PDF-to-form converter. Just before the gap, the team launched AI-generated forms and OTP verification.
Gumloop vs Zoho Forms: 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.
Zoho Forms
0.0MKT AUTO
Zoho Forms has been silent for over a year — AI-generated forms remain the freshest directional move.
◆ Current state
Zoho Forms' public blog last shipped content in February 2025, a 15-month gap. The Q1 2025 batch covered form-availability scheduling, mobile image-upload enhancements, and a PDF-to-form converter. Just before the gap, the team launched AI-generated forms and OTP verification.
◆ Where it's heading
Visible direction through early 2025 was incremental builder polish plus a meaningful AI bet on form generation. Since then, no public updates — the product appears to be either in maintenance mode within the broader Zoho suite or shipping without communicating. Without fresh signal it's hard to read intent from the surrounding suite alone.
◆ Prediction
If output resumes, the AI Forms surface is the natural extension point — generation today, smarter validation, prefill, and post-submission triage next. If the silence continues, treat Zoho Forms as a stable suite component rather than an actively differentiated product.
