The 5 best Gumloop alternatives
Best Gumloop alternative if your team already works in ChatGPT
01ChatGPT agents
Shared agents built into ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu.
- Best for
- Companies on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu that want shared agents in ChatGPT and Slack
- Strengths
- No new app for teams that already use ChatGPT. Agents run from ChatGPT, from Slack, on a schedule or through an API.
- Pricing
- ChatGPT Business is $20 per user a month billed yearly, or $25 monthly, with at least 2 seats. A Premium seat is $100 a month billed yearly. Agent runs draw on a shared allowance first, then credits, and OpenAI says a typical run uses 5 to 25. Enterprise pricing is through sales.
- Hosting and data
- OpenAI offers data residency to new Enterprise and Edu customers, but workspace agents are not on its list of in-scope features. We found no self-hosting.
- Where it works
- ChatGPT and Slack, where each agent gets a handle on the shared ChatGPT Agents app. Workspace agents are not in Microsoft Teams, where OpenAI offers a separate @ChatGPT bot. They have no email address and do not join calls.
- Compared with Gumloop
- ChatGPT agents are built and used inside ChatGPT and billed per seat. Gumloop bills credits with unlimited seats and starts agents from app events or webhooks.
Best Gumloop alternative for a full AI team
02d5sOur product
AI coworkers, one per role, in a workspace your team shares.
- Best for
- Teams that want one agent per role, each with its own Slack account and email, that asks before it sends or changes anything
- Strengths
- Models from several providers, set per agent. A daily budget for each agent. Each conversation starts in Ask, so agents ask before they send or change anything.
- Pricing
- d5s Pro is $25 a month and Team is $35 per seat a month.
- Hosting and data
- Workspace data is hosted in the EU. Enterprise customers can also run d5s in their own cloud or on-premise.
- Where it works
- Slack and Microsoft Teams, plus the web and desktop app. Each agent can have its own Slack account and email address. Agents join Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom calls and take notes.
- Compared with Gumloop
- Gumloop agents share one @Gumloop bot in Slack unless you build an app for each. Each d5s agent has its own Slack account and email, and d5s conversations start in Ask, so agents ask before they send or change anything.
Best Gumloop alternative for a company-wide AI workspace with an EU region
03Dust
A shared AI workspace where people and agents work together.
- Best for
- Companies that want shared agents working from company knowledge across many tools and models

- Dust offers a US or an EU region. Enterprise adds single-tenant deployment. We found no self-hosting.

- Slack and Microsoft Teams through one shared @Dust app. Each agent can have an email address that workspace members can write to. Agents do not join calls; Dust reads transcripts from notetaker and call tools such as Granola, Fathom and Gong.
- Compared with Gumloop
- Dust offers a US or an EU region, where Gumloop processes data in the US unless you run it in your own cloud on Enterprise.
Best Gumloop alternative for a personal agent for each person
04Lindy
A personal agent for each person, plus one shared Lindy in Slack.
- Best for
- People who want a personal agent for inbox, calendar and meetings, with one shared Lindy for the team in Slack

- Hosting and data
- Lindy's Trust Center lists its core hosting sub-processors in the US. We found no EU region and no self-hosting on its pages.
- Where it works
- Slack, with a private Lindy in each person's direct messages. Lindy does not list Microsoft Teams chat. It works in your own Google or Microsoft inbox, and its notetaker joins Google Meet, Zoom and Teams calls.
- Compared with Gumloop
- Lindy gives each person a ready-made personal agent, and its notetaker joins calls. Gumloop is for building your own agents.
