What is Gumloop?

Gumloop is a simple AI automation platform that enables anyone to build powerful workflows without coding using a drag-and-drop interface. Founded in April 2023 by McGill University alumni Max Brodeur-Urbas and Rahul Behal (with prior experience at Microsoft and Amazon respectively), Gumloop has rapidly grown and recently raised $24.5 million in Series A funding, relocating from Vancouver to Silicon Valley. The platform features a visual builder with over 115 pre-made blocks for quick automation creation, with AI powering smart decisions throughout workflows. Gumloop excels at document processing tasks like extracting data from PDFs, categorizing documents, summarizing content, and populating forms, as well as automated web scraping. The platform integrates with Google Sheets, Slack, Salesforce, and 125+ other apps, while maintaining enterprise-grade security with SOC 2 and GDPR compliance, AES-256 encryption, and auto-scaling compute resources to handle growing demands.
