@ShaneMac If you just used @gumloop instead of grokbot you could have set a rule on that agent to only be allowed to send DMs to you… it hardcodes the agent to only see ur slack ID as output so it never fails/hallucinates

Vibe manufacturing with your gumloop agents

[Rahul Behal @rbehal1729]

I asked my agent to create a gift for itself

It decided to design a custom keychain and used Browser to:

1/ Sign into TinkerCad
2/ Build the 3d model
3/ Export the .stl
4/ Find a site to print and ship it
5/ DM me the checkout link in Slack

It recorded all of it's work over the course of 45 minutes

@rbehal1729 haha thats insane

[Gumloop @gumloop]

Agent Browsers are live on Gumloop today so your agents can reach the work that doesn't have an MCP or API

> Secure credential storage & 1Password integration
> Session replays to see your agents work
> Stealth, proxied sessions

All completely model agnostic

Try Browser today.

@JaySahnan fabrio jay is back in biz

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

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.

It's become everyone's daily driver at Gumloop (which is our internal benchmark for quality)
