What is Gumloop?
Gumloop 13.1 lets live artifacts drive agents through the SDK and opens outputs in Office.
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. In October it gave agents a real browser (12.0), agent-owned secrets, team sharing and embeddable AI artifacts, then 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness for longer work and added organization-wide evaluations. 13.1 lets scripts in live artifacts message, create and list agents, artifacts, skills and teams through the Gumloop SDK, opens agent-made files in Google Workspace or Microsoft Office, and lets agents on a call run long tasks in the background while they keep talking.
What is Senja?
Senja is closing the loop from collecting proof to producing the asset.
The dated window covers the merge of classic forms into forms 2.0, native Slack notifications, and an MCP server that connects Senja directly to an assistant. The undated rows fill in both ends of the story: a 2025 run that added AI sizzle reels, case studies from single testimonials, editable testimonial images and reusable video clips, and a 2026 run concentrated almost entirely on invites — performance tracking, editable follow-ups, quick invite, and Stripe events triggering the ask.
Gumloop vs Senja: editorial side-by-side
Gumloop
7.5MKT AUTO
Gumloop 13.1 lets live artifacts drive agents through the SDK and opens outputs in Office.
◆ Current state
Gumloop ships a numbered release every few days. In October it gave agents a real browser (12.0), agent-owned secrets, team sharing and embeddable AI artifacts, then 13.0 rebuilt the agent harness for longer work and added organization-wide evaluations. 13.1 lets scripts in live artifacts message, create and list agents, artifacts, skills and teams through the Gumloop SDK, opens agent-made files in Google Workspace or Microsoft Office, and lets agents on a call run long tasks in the background while they keep talking.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from building agents to operating them at org scale, and artifacts are turning into small apps that can control agents themselves. Model access is also being made easier to manage, with families, deprecation dates and fallback visibility.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the SDK exposed to artifacts and further evaluation and Insights controls at the usual weekly pace; the entries don't show pricing changes.
Senja
0.0MKT AUTO
Senja is closing the loop from collecting proof to producing the asset.
◆ Current state
The dated window covers the merge of classic forms into forms 2.0, native Slack notifications, and an MCP server that connects Senja directly to an assistant. The undated rows fill in both ends of the story: a 2025 run that added AI sizzle reels, case studies from single testimonials, editable testimonial images and reusable video clips, and a 2026 run concentrated almost entirely on invites — performance tracking, editable follow-ups, quick invite, and Stripe events triggering the ask.
◆ Where it's heading
Senja is building a pipeline rather than a widget. Collection is being automated and measured, the library is being turned into finished formats — reels, case studies, clips — and the MCP server exposes the whole thing to an assistant that can query it. The 2026 releases suggest the constraint they are working on now is volume at the top of the funnel, since every downstream format is only as good as the proof coming in.
◆ Prediction
With invites instrumented, the next obvious step is acting on the numbers — timing or targeting invites automatically off the tracking data, rather than adding more places to send them from.
