I’ve got Gumloop open on the Chat tab. So what can I do? Let’s send a message: “What is the world’s smallest country?”
It’s going to think and come back with an answer. A chatbot, basically.
But what if I said: “What’s on my calendar today?” What happens next is that the AI tries to figure out what “calendar” means here. Gumloop integrates with a hundred apps and data sets you use every day. So the AI identifies which ones are calendar apps, and since I have Google Calendar connected, it assumes correctly that’s what I mean. It then retrieves my meetings from the day.
This pattern is what’s important to remember. When chatting with Gumloop, you send the message, the AI interprets the message, identifies the tools it should use (if any), and then does the work.
It found a few meetings on my calendar, and I can follow up with: “Who is Emily at Webflow? What is her experience?”
Work experience probably requires the AI to use an external tool. Gumloop doesn’t only integrate with applications you use every day, but also data sets like Apollo and SEMrush. You can search the web using Exo or Firecrawl. Those might not mean much to you, but the AI understands what they can do and can pick the right one.
So here it used Apollo to better understand Emily. I can finish up by saying: “Send me an email of her background,” and the loop restarts. It’ll summarize her background from Apollo, then look at what it can use to send me an email, identify that I have Gmail connected, and send me that summary.
Go try it out. Log into gumloop.com, select Chat, and type: “What’s on my calendar today?” Or: “Summarize my email over the last hour, anything important?” Maybe: “Where did Aron Korenblit work before joining Gumloop?” No really, pause the video, do it, and then come back.
Pretty cool, right? So chatting with Gumloop is perfect for ad hoc tasks. Summarize this Google Doc for me. Update a task in my project management software. Get an email with what’s new in the AI world in the last 24 hours. And that’s how Gumloop helps you with that first big bucket of work: ad hoc tasks.
Chat with Gumloop
Chat is the fastest way to get value from Gumloop. Send a message, and the AI uses your connected tools to get the answer.
Chat is Gumloop’s tool for ad hoc tasks. It looks like a chatbot, but the difference is that it’s connected to the tools you already use. You type a message, the AI figures out which apps it needs, and does the work for you.
More Than a Chatbot
A regular chatbot can answer general questions. Chat in Gumloop can do that too, but the real value is that it can read from and act on your actual tools. Ask “What’s on my calendar today?” and the AI identifies that you have Google Calendar connected, pulls your meetings, and summarizes them. Ask “Send a follow-up email to that client” and it drafts the email and sends it through Gmail.
You don’t need to tell it which app to use. The AI looks at what you have connected and picks the right one.
You can ask Gumloop to draw a diagram of what happens when you send a message!
Try it nowYour Apps and External Data
When you send a message, the AI decides what tools it needs to answer you. Those tools fall into two categories:
- Your internal apps: the tools your team uses every day. Google Calendar, Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, project management tools, and 100+ more. Chat can read from them, write to them, and take actions in them.
- External data sources: tools that let Chat go beyond what’s in your apps. Scrape a website with Firecrawl, enrich a contact with Apollo, pull SEO data from SEMrush, or search the web for recent news. The AI picks the right data source based on what you’re asking.
Try It Yourself
Log in to Gumloop, select Chat, and try one of these:
- “What’s on my calendar today?” Try it
- “Summarize my emails from the last hour. Anything important?” Try it
- “What’s new in the AI world in the last 24 hours?” Try it
- “Where did Aron Korenblit work before Gumloop?” Try it
If you don’t have an app connected yet, Gumloop will ask you to authenticate and keep going.
