Comhbhunaigh Max Brodeur-Urbas i lár 2023, Gumloop’s original goal was to enable non-technical employees to automate repetitive tasks with AI. At that time, AI agents were still experimental. As the technology has matured, Gumloop now helps teams at companies like Shopify deploy reliable AI agents to handle complex tasks without engineers.
Employees can share the agents they build, creating a compounding effect that accelerates internal automation. “They get addicted, start building more agents, and suddenly the whole company becomes AI-native,” Brodeur-Urbas said.
Seeing this potential, Everett Randle, who had just joined Benchmark from Kleiner Perkins, led Gumloop’s $50 million Series B. Although not actively fundraising, surging enterprise demand prompted Gumloop to “step on the gas.” Partnering with Benchmark was a “no-brainer,” the founder noted. Cé gur bheartaigh sé ar dtús “cuideachta billiún-dollar a thógáil le díreach 10 daoine,” caithfidh sé foirne díolacháin agus innealtóireachta a mhéadú anois.
Tá iomaíocht ghéar le sárú ag Gumloop ó imreoirí ar nós Zapier agus Anthropic. Mar sin féin, Fuair Randle amach gur thug cliant amháin rochtain d’fhostaithe ar Gumloop in éineacht le beirt iomaitheoirí. Sé mhí ina dhiaidh sin, Bhain an fhoireann úsáid as Gumloop go laethúil nó go seachtainiúil, agus shuigh na huirlisí eile gan teagmháil. Cuireann sé seo i leith an chuair íosta foghlama: “Is féidir leat dul isteach agus tús a chur le gníomhairí agus uathoibrithe sreabhadh oibre a dhéanamh láithreach.”
Ina theannta sin, Is príomhbhuntáiste é cur chuige samhail-agnostic Gumloop - is féidir le cliaint an tsamhail is fearr a roghnú do gach tasc agus úsáid a bhaint as creidmheasanna thar soláthraithe AI éagsúla. “Is pota ollmhór óir é uathoibriú fiontair,” Dúirt Randle. “Sílim gurb é an chatagóir is mó san fhiontar AI.”
