What is GravityView?
GravityKit keeps widening what a Gravity Forms entry can become.
The feed runs on a weekly Launch Log covering the whole GravityKit suite - GravityView, GravityExport, GravityEdit, GravityCalendar, DataTables, Maps, Block MCP - with a dedicated announcement post when something larger lands. Recent substance: Google Sheets export with ongoing sync, unions in Multiple Forms, rich text inline editing, and a long run of Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 compatibility fixes. Nothing here is a platform shift; the suite is compounding.
What is Workato?
Workato's Genies just stopped being a chat feature and became an embeddable runtime.
Workato is shipping on two tracks. The agent track has moved fast: the MCP registry, tool annotations and named tokens landed generally available within days of each other, and now the Headless API removes the requirement that a Genie be reached through Slack, Teams or Workato GO at all. The integration track continues its older rhythm — expanded data-pipeline connectivity across ERP, finance and HR sources, cross-workspace event topic sharing, and a monthly community connector drop.

GravityView
5.0DEVOPS
GravityKit keeps widening what a Gravity Forms entry can become.
◆ Current state
The feed runs on a weekly Launch Log covering the whole GravityKit suite - GravityView, GravityExport, GravityEdit, GravityCalendar, DataTables, Maps, Block MCP - with a dedicated announcement post when something larger lands. Recent substance: Google Sheets export with ongoing sync, unions in Multiple Forms, rich text inline editing, and a long run of Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 compatibility fixes. Nothing here is a platform shift; the suite is compounding.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel. One pushes form entries outward into places people already work - Google Sheets that stay in step with the form, maps, calendars, charts - so Gravity Forms stops being the final destination for its own data. The other keeps the suite current with the platform underneath it, which this quarter meant absorbing Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 across every plugin at once. The MCP plugins sitting quietly in the Launch Logs are the third thread, still early.
◆ Prediction
Given the pattern of announcing one integration per few weeks and the two-way sync GravityExport just shipped, the next notable release is likely another external destination or a deeper write path back from one - with continued Gravity Forms 3.0 fixes filling the weekly logs in between.
Workato
8.8DEVOPS
Workato's Genies just stopped being a chat feature and became an embeddable runtime.
◆ Current state
Workato is shipping on two tracks. The agent track has moved fast: the MCP registry, tool annotations and named tokens landed generally available within days of each other, and now the Headless API removes the requirement that a Genie be reached through Slack, Teams or Workato GO at all. The integration track continues its older rhythm — expanded data-pipeline connectivity across ERP, finance and HR sources, cross-workspace event topic sharing, and a monthly community connector drop.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is governance of things Workato does not itself control, now extended to the surface a Genie runs on. The registry made servers and tools discoverable and attributable, annotations let clients tell a routine read from a destructive write, named tokens gave per-user attribution — and the Headless API keeps that scaffolding while letting the agent be invoked from a CI pipeline, a batch job, or another agent. Combined with AIRO MCP, the full lifecycle of a Genie can now be driven without opening the UI, which is the shape of infrastructure rather than an application.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Headless API to leave open beta with usage-based metering attached, since a Genie invoked from a CI pipeline has no seat to bill against. The dedicated runtime role and per-client IP allow lists suggest enterprise procurement questions are already being asked.
