Low-code gamification for growth
Techstars-accelerated CustomerGluâs 2020 MVP launched to help product managers build mobile gamification experiments from templates â and launch them on their own â without the need for app updates or code changes.
Today, the gamification-led growth platform is taking things to the next level with Glu AI: A tool for converting text prompts into gamified user engagement and retention campaigns for mobile apps.
Pivoting away from intrusive comms: Having been working to solve churn since 2016, the founding team behind what is now CustomerGlu had long observed that push notifications, WhatsApp, and text/SMS retention tactics werenât working. So, they started studying the mechanics of gamification tactics baked into apps like Duolingo, Snapchat, Robinhood, and Google Pay.
If gamification is the answer⌠Why isnât everybody doing it? âThere are two problems,â explains maker Prateek Gupta. âFirst, they donât know where to begin. Should they use a streak or a quest? Second, experimentation is messy. Each update to an existing program requires a team of engineers, designers, PMs, and a lot of time for one iteration.â
PMs, take the wheel: Glu AI can generate a production-grade gamification, quest, or âspin-the-wheelâ campaign template from just a text prompt â âall of this without copywriters and designers; returning the control back to PMs,â says Gupta.
You can play around with Glu AI today for free. Remember to leave a review to let the team know what you think.
Your agents stopped answering and started doing
Your agents call tools, write to databases and move money, so a wrong answer is now a wrong action, which is a considerably worse meeting. Arcjet runs policy before every LLM call, tool call, query and API request: prompt injection, sensitive data, bots, rate limits, spend quotas, and your own rules in Rego on top. It reads the OpenTelemetry you already emit, so switching it on is one environment variable, no code changes and nothing to deploy. Each check also reads the earlier steps in the same workflow, so an agent's tenth action gets judged against the first nine and not on its own. JavaScript, Python and Go SDKs all at 1.0, agent framework guards included, free tier to start on.
