See what an agent can do with Loops before you ever sign up. Pick a story: recorded sessions replay real probe-harness transcripts; the live MCP handshake runs real requests from our edge, right now — including, where the server allows it, one real read-only tool call (bring your own key for auth-gated servers); sandboxed self-drive sessions are designed and gated (docs/TRY-IT.md).

Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 46 stories with headroom

What would move Loops’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.

  1. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productDelegate tasks to a built-in AI assistant inside the product

    nonemoves Built-in AIimpact 45

    Loops' 'agents' materials describe APIs/MCP/CLI/skills that let external coding agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) act on Loops on the user's behalf — this is Loops being consumed by an agent, not a built-in AI assistant living inside the Loops product that a user delegates tasks to.

  2. Analytics attribution — stories about analytics attribution in this arenaRead opens, clicks, unsubscribes, and conversions per campaign and per automation step, over time

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: any analytics/reporting endpoint or dashboard docs showing per-campaign/per-step metrics, time-series breakdowns, or conversion attribution.

  3. Deliverability domains — stories about deliverability domains in this arenaAuthenticate my own sending domain — SPF, DKIM, DMARC alignment — with guided DNS setup and verification

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: dNS setup guide, SPF/DKIM/DMARC record instructions, verification status UI or API, any deliverability-domain documentation.

  4. Marketing data access — stories about marketing data access in this arenaRead per-person engagement history — what was sent, opened, clicked — through the API for any contact

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    The evidence pack documents contact creation, event sending, campaign drafting, and transactional email APIs, but nowhere shows an endpoint or documentation for retrieving per-contact engagement history (sends, opens, clicks) via the API.

  5. List portability — stories about list portability in this arenaExport my entire audience — contacts, custom fields, tags, engagement history, and suppression list — in an open format, self-serve

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: a documented export/download API or dashboard feature, evidence of tags/engagement/suppression data being included in any export, and confirmation of an open file format (CSV/JSON) for full audience export.

  6. Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Evidence shows API endpoints for creating/writing contacts and events, migration guides for moving data INTO Loops from other providers, and an OpenAPI spec, but nothing documents a bulk export feature or open-format data portability for users wanting to leave Loops with their data.

  7. Integrations webhooks — stories about integrations webhooks in this arenaSubscribe webhooks to delivery and engagement events — sends, opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribes — with a documented, signed payload

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: any webhook subscription endpoint, event types list, and payload signing/verification documentation.

  8. Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: any privacy policy statement, opt-out mechanism, or documentation about AI training data usage.
