Summary

Gumloop has expanded its capabilities to incorporate agents into its flows, allowing these agents to operate in the background and respond to triggers such as webhooks, time-based events, or app-based events. This integration enhances efficiency, enabling agents to perform bulk actions and solve open-ended, non-deterministic problems, while flows handle predictable tasks. The duality of agents and flows allows for complex, customized workflows that can be nested, though users should be mindful of increased runtime and costs with deeper nesting. While publishing templates with agents in flows is not yet available, users can choose between embedding agents in flows or vice versa, depending on their specific automation needs and the desired level of manual interaction or automated triggering.
