What is JotForm?
JotForm's last product launch was in August; September brought a G2 press release instead.
JotForm's August 25 launches, Website Widgets and the AI Data Assistant, are still its most recent product moves. Website Widgets puts reviews, calculators and commerce components on customer sites; the AI Data Assistant lets users query form submissions in plain language instead of exporting to spreadsheets. The posts around them are use-case and vertical marketing (education, teams, Smartsheet), and the newest entry is a G2 rankings announcement, not a release.
What is Runway AI?
Generative video pioneer pivots from 'we make the model' to 'we are the canvas — bring any model.'
Runway is a generative video and image platform. The last six months executed a strategic pivot: in February, Runway integrated a wide library of third-party models (Kling, WAN2.2 Animate, GPT-Image-1.5, Sora 2 Pro, Nano Banana 2) alongside its own Gen-4.5. In March, it launched Runway Characters — real-time conversational avatars accessible via API. In April, Seedance 2.0 added a multimodal-input video model.
JotForm vs Runway AI: editorial side-by-side
JotForm
2.5DESIGN
JotForm's last product launch was in August; September brought a G2 press release instead.
◆ Current state
JotForm's August 25 launches, Website Widgets and the AI Data Assistant, are still its most recent product moves. Website Widgets puts reviews, calculators and commerce components on customer sites; the AI Data Assistant lets users query form submissions in plain language instead of exporting to spreadsheets. The posts around them are use-case and vertical marketing (education, teams, Smartsheet), and the newest entry is a G2 rankings announcement, not a release.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is widening from form collection toward showing and analyzing what forms collect, with AI positioned as the reporting layer over submission data. Education keeps getting dedicated content and integrations, and CRM/spreadsheet connectors keep the data flowing outward. The marketing that has followed the launches suggests JotForm is now selling these two products rather than shipping new ones.
◆ Prediction
The entries show no product release since August 25, so the next move is unclear; follow-ups to the AI Data Assistant or Widgets are the most likely candidates given how much post-launch content they are getting.
Runway AI
0.0DESIGN
Generative video pioneer pivots from 'we make the model' to 'we are the canvas — bring any model.'
◆ Current state
Runway is a generative video and image platform. The last six months executed a strategic pivot: in February, Runway integrated a wide library of third-party models (Kling, WAN2.2 Animate, GPT-Image-1.5, Sora 2 Pro, Nano Banana 2) alongside its own Gen-4.5. In March, it launched Runway Characters — real-time conversational avatars accessible via API. In April, Seedance 2.0 added a multimodal-input video model.
◆ Where it's heading
Runway is repositioning from a model-first studio (Gen-1 through Gen-4.5) to a model-agnostic creation surface where the underlying generator is a user choice. The Workflows-as-Apps layer from December and the API-first launch of Characters both lean further into Runway-as-platform. First-party models still ship — Gen-4.5 added image-to-video conditioning in January — but no longer carry the product alone.
◆ Prediction
Expect agentic editing on top of the multi-model surface, Characters API expansion (likely SDK and webhook support), and continued audio expansion to compose alongside the visual stack.
