if you go to gumloop.com/mcp all these servers are hosted for you with auth handled via your free gumloop account.

Definitely at some point in the near future! started with python for now just because we had to pick a lane but we'll be porting them all over one day

This is one of the few products I can say I actually love. Congrats on the launch guys!!

Great tip, we'll definitely try and use this as a fail safe. Thanks!

Thanks! They look great as well, I've never heard of them before so thanks for the link. We definitely have a vision where where we want to go but unsure where that will diverge from competitors. Focused on just building things people want at the moment :)

The starter plan is generally for experimentation purposes and for those who only need the less powerful models (GPT 3.5, gemini pro, perplexity 70b). Everyone on the pro plan can add their own API keys and unlock unlimited AI calls.

oh dang. Dalle prompt restrictions changing make older templates like that break. We'll adjust the default example to avoid that. Thanks for the callout

Thanks! You can click on nodes to add them to the canvas or drag. Both work

Thanks! We've been building based on user requests since we started. This is the direction our users pulled us in and we're pretty happy with it. The overall goal from the start was to lower the barrier of entry for someone interested in build useful tools with AI.

The people who seem to most enjoy and use the platforms are those that really benefit from the non-technical interface. There are other approaches to this that might be more efficient but this was the flavor we landed on. Subject to change though based on user needs!

Thanks, glad you like it! Totally agree with your points overall. Excited to keep building and compete if need be.

Appreciate the encouragement. I worked at Microsoft before all of this. Totally agree with your points. I love the culture and the people but I think we can compete with speed.

Thanks! I don't have the best answer to this question honestly. Our plan is to move faster and build a better product. That's pretty much it :)

We're two devs and built all of this for almost no money. We think if we can make something even remotely comparable alone then we can definitely compete in the future if we keep going. This is probably just me being extremely naive but I think we need to be a little bit to try. Very valid point though.

Yea I think all of the wonder of AI being able to critically think is wasted if it can't take meaningful action. This seems like a logical next step. We've been toying with the idea of AgentHub automations being tools for autonomous agents. We even shipped 'agents' on agenthub which are basically chatbots with access to your automations.

We thought that was the best feature we'd ever put out but our core users mainly stuck to running automations the standard way.

Fair point! There are a few key differentiators but the AI first approach is definitely a main one. Some of our most used features are nodes that use LLMs but provide a layer of abstraction on top of the LLM calls like our categorizing, scoring, data extraction and summarizer nodes. We support Google's gemini models and Perplexity's too :)

One thing we're struggling with is how to show the value of the platform in a generalized way that still shows the flexibility/power of it all.

All the examples we put out are pretty surface level and approachable because we don't want to alienate with something crazy complex or specific. The real value is in the fact that automations can get extremely complex and it's totally flexible. Our power users have at time 60+ nodes on a canvas with several automations nested in their builds layers deep.

Not sure how to convey that value without people seeing their hyper specific use case and wondering how it's at all relevant to them. If you had any thoughts on how to approach marketing that aspect we'd actually love external input.
