What is Gravity Wiz?
Gravity Wiz turns Gravity Forms into a booking marketplace with GP Bookings 1.0
Gravity Wiz is launching whole products rather than shipping increments: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, Product Configurator 1.0 in June, and Spam Hexer in June. The older entries in this window are major versions of existing perks, with date and time functions arriving in Advanced Calculations 2.0 and an alpha of Advanced Conditional Logic adding AND/OR rule groups, four operators, and support for formulas and dynamic values.
What is Rivet?
Rivet 3.0 Preview runs as one stateless binary on WarpDrive, with S3 as its only dependency.
Rivet has spent two months building infrastructure for long-lived actors and AI agents: BYOC in customer clouds, OpenTelemetry tracing, actor-scoped JWTs, Pi agent runtimes and agentOS Hosted VMs. On October 5 it said 3.0 would replace NATS with S3. The October 26 3.0 Preview delivers that: a new storage engine, WarpDrive, promises bottomless storage on S3 at SSD speed, and Rivet becomes a single stateless binary.

Gravity Wiz

Gravity Wiz turns Gravity Forms into a booking marketplace with GP Bookings 1.0
◆ Current state
Gravity Wiz is launching whole products rather than shipping increments: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, Product Configurator 1.0 in June, and Spam Hexer in June. The older entries in this window are major versions of existing perks, with date and time functions arriving in Advanced Calculations 2.0 and an alpha of Advanced Conditional Logic adding AND/OR rule groups, four operators, and support for formulas and dynamic values.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is that Gravity Forms is being treated as an application platform rather than a form builder, and Gravity Wiz keeps shipping the layers that make that true. Bookings adds scheduling with per-provider ownership, Product Configurator ties forms to WooCommerce catalog structure, and Advanced Conditional Logic pushes form logic toward something closer to a rules engine. Each release makes forms carry more application behavior instead of just collecting input.
◆ Prediction
Advanced Conditional Logic is still at alpha 1, so a stable release is the clear next step. Given the Bookings launch, integration between scheduling and the existing payment and WooCommerce perks is the natural follow-on.
Rivet
7.5DEVOPS
Rivet 3.0 Preview runs as one stateless binary on WarpDrive, with S3 as its only dependency.
◆ Current state
Rivet has spent two months building infrastructure for long-lived actors and AI agents: BYOC in customer clouds, OpenTelemetry tracing, actor-scoped JWTs, Pi agent runtimes and agentOS Hosted VMs. On October 5 it said 3.0 would replace NATS with S3. The October 26 3.0 Preview delivers that: a new storage engine, WarpDrive, promises bottomless storage on S3 at SSD speed, and Rivet becomes a single stateless binary.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release removes operational burden: BYOC moved the control plane into the customer's cloud, and 3.0 reduces the self-hosted footprint to one binary plus an S3 bucket. The agent work (Pi, agentOS) sits on top as the main workload Rivet is courting.
◆ Prediction
Expect benchmarks and migration guidance for 2.x users during the preview, followed by a 3.0 GA. The entry gives no performance numbers, so the SSD-speed claim is unverified.
