Move your team from Relay.app to Gumloop.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Gumloop — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in Relay.app is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
Both platforms offer an AI-powered builder that turns a natural-language description into a working automation without manual wiring. In Gumloop, the built-in Gummie assistant generates the node graph from a plain-language description and accepts follow-up instructions like 'Add a step that saves this to a CSV.' In Relay.app, a chat-first interface powered by Claude Opus 4.8 generates workflows, reusable sequences, tables, and MCP server definitions from a description, with output editable in the visual editor. To switch: describe the same workflow goal to the target platform's AI builder, then review the generated steps side-by-side with your existing flow to catch any missing nodes or mismatched logic before enabling the new automation.
- Warning: Gummie generates a node graph on Gumloop's canvas directly; Relay.app's builder also generates sequences and Tables as first-class outputs, so the migration may produce different structural artifacts that need manual consolidation.
- Warning: Relay.app's builder is explicitly powered by Claude Opus 4.8; Gummie's underlying model is not disclosed, so expected builder output quality and instruction-following may differ between platforms.
- Warning: Neither builder guarantees one-shot accuracy on complex flows — always test generated automations on non-production data before activating.
Both platforms allow AI processing to be embedded inline as discrete steps within an automation. In Gumloop, AI nodes sit on the canvas alongside control-flow nodes and can summarize documents, extract structured data, generate content, or make decisions; users pick from any supported LLM (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek) and can bring their own API keys. In Relay.app, AI steps come as built-in template actions (extraction, classification, summarization, writing, transcription, image creation) or fully custom prompt steps where the user selects any provider and model and defines the output schema. To migrate: (1) identify each Gumloop AI node and its configured model/prompt; (2) create a matching Relay.app AI step — use the pre-built action type that matches the task (e.g. 'AI extraction' for structured-data pulls) or a custom step for bespoke prompts; (3) paste the original prompt into the Relay.app step and configure the same provider/model; (4) map the AI node's output fields to the downstream step inputs.
- Warning: Gumloop gates AI model access control to its Enterprise plan; Relay.app allows custom model selection on all paid plans, so teams on Gumloop Pro may gain more model flexibility when moving to Relay.app.
- Warning: Relay.app meters AI usage through 'AI credits' included per plan; Gumloop charges AI costs separately through team-level spending guardrails and bring-your-own-key, so total AI cost per run will differ based on how credits are counted.
- Warning: Relay.app Enterprise can deploy private models via AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, or Azure — a capability Gumloop does not advertise — making Relay.app the stronger fit for air-gapped or compliance-sensitive AI workloads.
Both platforms connect automations to external business apps via native integrations. Gumloop offers 40+ connectors (Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Gmail, Stripe, Airtable, Google Sheets, BigQuery, Linear, Asana, Notion) plus webhook/REST/SDK triggers and scheduled runs; agents can also be surfaced inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Gmail by tagging them with questions. Relay.app offers 500+ connectors spanning CRM, communication, project management, storage, documents, AI providers, and customer support, plus native HTTP request steps and web-scraping utilities for apps without connectors. To migrate from Gumloop to Relay.app: (1) list every integration used in existing flows; (2) confirm the connector exists in Relay.app's catalog at relay.app/integrations; (3) reconnect OAuth/API-key credentials for each app inside Relay.app; (4) replace Gumloop webhook triggers with Relay.app's webhook or mailhook trigger type; (5) recreate any scheduled triggers as Relay.app schedule triggers. To go the reverse way, verify the smaller Gumloop catalog covers all apps used in Relay.app flows — fall back to the REST API node for gaps.
- Warning: Gumloop's integration catalog (40+) is significantly smaller than Relay.app's (500+); teams moving from Relay.app to Gumloop may need to replace missing native connectors with Gumloop's REST API or webhook node, adding manual API mapping work.
- Warning: Gumloop limits active triggers to 1 on Free and unlimited on Pro; Relay.app's trigger limits are not published per-plan, so validate before assuming parity on lower tiers.
- Warning: Gumloop lists WhatsApp as 'coming soon' as an agent surface; Relay.app has a native WhatsApp connector available now, so WhatsApp-dependent automations cannot be replicated in Gumloop yet.
- Gumloop Pro includes 1 hosted MCP server and proxying for 3 external MCP servers; Relay.app can generate and host custom MCP servers from its AI builder, which exposes Relay.app workflows as tools to external LLM apps like ChatGPT.
Both platforms allow humans to interact with or oversee agents at runtime, but through different mechanisms. Gumloop surfaces agents inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Gmail: team members tag the agent with a question and receive a response without leaving their chat or email client — the integration is conversational and reactive. Relay.app offers structured human-in-the-loop steps that pause a running workflow until a named assignee completes an Approval step, fills a Data Input form, or reviews AI-generated output in a Built-in AI review step; assignees are notified via Slack or email and act through interactive notifications. To migrate agent-oversight patterns from Gumloop to Relay.app: (1) identify flows where a human must approve or supply information; (2) insert an Approval or Data Input step at the equivalent point in the Relay.app workflow; (3) connect Relay.app to Slack or configure email notifications so assignees receive the pause notification. To go the other way, surface the Relay.app workflow as a Slack bot using Relay.app's Slack integration and a manual trigger, then give team members a command to invoke it.
- Warning: Gumloop's human interaction is conversational and always-on inside chat/email — users can query agents ad hoc; Relay.app's human-in-the-loop is checkpoint-based, pausing a specific run rather than supporting free-form Q&A with an agent.
- Warning: Gumloop lists WhatsApp as an agent surface coming soon; Relay.app already supports WhatsApp as a notification and integration channel, so Gumloop users who need WhatsApp-based oversight should factor this gap into migration timing.
- Warning: Relay.app's human steps require the assignee to act through a Slack or email notification — there is no in-canvas approval UI; ensure assignees have Slack or monitor email reliably before relying on Approval steps in production.
Both tools use a visual no-code canvas to compose multi-step automations. In Gumloop, workflows are built by dragging nodes from a 100+ node library onto a canvas and connecting inputs/outputs with edges; in Relay.app workflows are a trigger plus a sequence of steps arranged in a visual editor with branches, loops, and merge-paths. To migrate from Gumloop to Relay.app: (1) map each Gumloop node to a Relay.app step type — App steps cover integrations, AI steps cover AI nodes, and Utility steps handle transforms and custom JS; (2) recreate triggers in Relay.app (webhook, schedule, app event, form, or mailhook); (3) replace Gumloop's edge-based data wiring with Relay.app's step references and data-mapping UI. To go the other way, translate Relay.app's step list back into Gumloop nodes and connect them on the canvas.
- Warning: Gumloop caps concurrent runs at 2 (Free) and 5 (Pro); Relay.app does not publish a concurrent-run cap but meters usage through run credits.
- Warning: Relay.app has native PDF manipulation and file-conversion utility steps; Gumloop handles file processing through AI nodes and integrations, so check that equivalent file-handling steps exist before migrating PDF-heavy flows.
- Warning: Gumloop flows and node count are unlimited on all plans; Relay.app limits active workflows on lower plans, so large workflow libraries may require a plan upgrade on the Relay.app side.
