visual tools for chaining apps, triggers, and AI model steps into automated workflows, usually built without writing code
AI workflow builders let anyone spin up agents on SaaS connectors. They are quick to start and great at messages, summaries, and CRM records.
A multiplayer AI agent builder: anyone at a company builds agents with any model and 100+ MCP integrations (Slack, Gmail, Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, GitHub), plus a Chrome extension and SDKs. Enterprise adds SSO, audit logging, and VPC deployment. Credit-based pricing.
Agents that work from Slack, email, and meetings. Write actions wait for the user's approval, routines run on schedules or triggers, and Autopilot gives agents their own computers in the cloud. Plans run from $29.99 per user a month (Plus) to $199.99 (Max), with Enterprise by quote.
Relay.app, a peer, shut down in September 2026. Its homepage says all accounts, workflows, and run history were permanently deleted.
The builders run in their own clouds. That is perfect for SaaS and awkward for a system of record behind your firewall.
An Infor SyteLine install sits behind the firewall. A cloud builder reaches it only if IT exposes it, which most IT teams will not do for a system of record.
Lindy's cloud computer signs in from outside the office with stored credentials. LaunchAI uses the estimator's own session from the office network.
Material, finish, and revision checks live in prompts and conditions. LaunchAI keeps them in Rules and Tables with no model call.
Every message and tool call spends credits. Lindy pauses credit-using actions when a plan runs out, and unused credits do not roll over.
| Gumloop | Lindy | LaunchAI | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Multiplayer AI agent builder | Agents in Slack, email, and meetings | Desktop app to build, run, and govern back-office agents |
| Who builds | Anyone, with IT controls | Each user or team | The person who does the work |
| Reaches software through | MCP integrations, Chrome extension | Integrations, cloud computer | The screen of any app, plus an API where one exists |
| Where it runs | Gumloop cloud, or your VPC on Enterprise | Lindy cloud | The user's machine or an enrolled agent PC |
| On-premises ERP | Only if exposed to its cloud | Only if exposed to its cloud computer | Yes, from inside the network |
| Exact rules | Prompt and flow logic | Prompt and conditions | Rules and Tables, no model call |
| Human review | Designed into each agent | Write actions wait for approval | A review step anywhere, source beside the record |
| Evidence | Audit logging on Enterprise | Audit logs on Enterprise | A screenshot of every action |
| Cost unit | Credits plus an orchestration fee | Credits per user plan | License |
| Speed | Fast on API calls | Fast on API calls | Human pace per step, the tradeoff for reach |
LaunchAI can do each of these, but a builder does them for less when every system has an integration and the output is a message.
Let the builder own the inbox. When it spots a portal RFQ, it writes a row to a shared table. That row starts a LaunchAI run, which works the portal and SyteLine and writes the estimate number back for the builder to announce in Slack.
For former Relay.app customers: rebuild flows that ended in email, Slack, or a CRM in any builder. Rebuild flows that ended in an ERP or portal as LaunchAI workflows, with Relay's approval as a review step.
Only if your network exposes the ERP to it, which most IT teams will not allow for a system of record.
When the ERP has an API the builder's cloud can reach and your license allows writes. A LaunchAI step can call that API too.
Lindy pauses credit-using actions until the next billing cycle. Unused credits do not roll over.
Yes. It reads Outlook, classifies each message, writes the CRM record, and posts the summary. A cloud builder does the same without occupying a desktop.
No prompts. No babysitting. No Integrations.
