Super excited to share that we've raised a $50M Series B round! Really looking forward to seeing how we can use these funds to help make people's lives just a little bit easier -- now back to work!

Gumloop (YC W24) is building a platform that lets employees across a company build and share AI agents, while giving IT control over the data, permissions, and infrastructure behind them. Today it’s used by companies including Shopify, Gusto, and Instacart to automate work across sales, customer success, operations, and more. In this fireside, @gumloop co-founders @MaxBrodeurUrbas and @rbehal1729 joined @gustaf to share how they built Gumloop before models were ready for agents, then found product-market fit as the technology caught up. They talk about landing early enterprise customers, making companies AI-native, and why the people closest to the work should be the ones automating it. 00:00 — The AI Agent Builder for Every Team 03:38 — From Workflow Automation to Enterprise AI 07:20 — What It Takes to Win Enterprise Customers 11:02 — How the Founders Met and Got Into YC 15:00 — How Gumloop Uses Its Own Agents 18:02 — Landing Shopify and Rethinking Pricing 21:23 — Fundraising and the Limits of Staying Lean 24:35 — Letting Employees Automate Their Own Work 27:43 — Building Agents Companies Can Control 31:23 — Getting IT to Say Yes

It is extremely sad that this didn't end up as an example of how the labs could cooperate/coordinate, because the stakes will be so much higher in the future.

40 designers showing off work they're proud of we're hosting a design gallery sept 3rd live music, wine, food and bingsu slots still open to show off work. if you want to spend an evening with a few hundred people that really care about design, come by

automating more tasks every 72 hours than we did in our entire first year as a company racing to 2B 🏎️

We sat down our co-founders to react to 3 years of Gumloop's design evolution. Watch what they learned from each version. And what came next...

One Brain. Everyone’s context. Gumloop company Brain is out of beta today

Prediction: most AI startups will switch to Openrouter-esque token pass-through pricing in the next 6 months. The ones that don’t might generate more revenue in the short term, but will slowly die due to losing the build vs. buy debate Companies will lean more towards building with each model release. If they don't consider your product to be internal infra, you will be replaced gumloop.com/blog/transparent…

Starting today, Gumloop has a simple, transparent pricing model. Tokens and compute passed through at cost, plus a simple orchestration fee. Every user should know exactly what they're paying for per task automated.

The most dangerous sentence for closed model providers is: "We switched models and nobody noticed." That's exactly what happened at @Gumloop. They replaced Opus 4.8 with GLM-5.2 across a company-wide agent and cut costs by ~5x. This is how platform shifts happen. The open alternative gets good enough. Then it becomes the default.

5/ Email agent This one helps the team spend less time in emails while still being highly responsive. It checks emails every morning and marks spam or unimportant messages as read. It auto-forwards any emails that need to be routed to another team member automatically. For every real email, it drafts a response using past emails and the internal knowledge base. How it's built: @Gumloop + email/Slack integrations

4/ The CEO's personal agent @handotdev built a Han agent – inspired by personal agents like OpenClaw This is an agent that has access to all the tools he uses, and is available right in Slack So instead of switching contexts to read/write to any app, he just asks the Han agent to do things for him right from Slack Built with: @Gumloop + integrations to all the tools.

"what if we spent our marketing budget on musicians instead"

AI spend is becoming a HUGE problem right now. Our #1 focus is solving it.

"I wake up to 10 DMs from agents that have already done work in the background." Gumloop's @MaxBrodeurUrbas on what agents-among-us already looks like.
