What is Cursor?
Cursor now builds, hosts and links internal apps, and you can talk to its agents out loud.
Cursor has grown from an editor into a delivery platform: Projects coordinates cloud agents, Origin hosts repos with an app marketplace, Rollouts watches deploys, and the Agent SDK went GA on October 20. This week a cloud agent can build a full internal app, provision Postgres, put it behind Cursor SSO and publish it at a live link. A realtime voice call, running on Grok Voice, now lets users talk to an agent while it works in the IDE, on web and on iOS.
What is GravityKit?
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons, mostly security fixes and small field options. The November 12 release bundles every GravityView extension and layout into one Pro plugin with Live Filters, Connected Views and an Edit Window; the November 13 log adds paid, ranked Featured Tiers, a Pages with this View menu and more security fixes. October's notable items were Visual Merge Tags, AI-built boards and AI-managed calendars.
Cursor vs GravityKit: editorial side-by-side
Cursor
8.8INFRA · APIS
Cursor now builds, hosts and links internal apps, and you can talk to its agents out loud.
◆ Current state
Cursor has grown from an editor into a delivery platform: Projects coordinates cloud agents, Origin hosts repos with an app marketplace, Rollouts watches deploys, and the Agent SDK went GA on October 20. This week a cloud agent can build a full internal app, provision Postgres, put it behind Cursor SSO and publish it at a live link. A realtime voice call, running on Grok Voice, now lets users talk to an agent while it works in the IDE, on web and on iOS.
◆ Where it's heading
Each release widens who can use Cursor and where the work ends up. The apps launch is aimed at sales, ops, legal and finance staff, not only engineers, and it puts hosting and auth inside Cursor rather than handing off to Vercel. Voice and iOS make the agent something you supervise rather than type at.
◆ Prediction
Expect governance and billing controls for org-built apps (who can publish, which secrets they may hold, usage limits) to follow, since the launch post describes non-engineers deploying tools with database and warehouse access.
GravityKit
5.0INFRA · APIS
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
◆ Current state
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons, mostly security fixes and small field options. The November 12 release bundles every GravityView extension and layout into one Pro plugin with Live Filters, Connected Views and an Edit Window; the November 13 log adds paid, ranked Featured Tiers, a Pages with this View menu and more security fixes. October's notable items were Visual Merge Tags, AI-built boards and AI-managed calendars.
◆ Where it's heading
GravityKit is consolidating a sprawl of separate add-ons into fewer, larger products while steadily adding AI-assistant hooks to individual tools. Paid Featured Tiers suggest the Pro bundle is also a vehicle for listing and directory use cases.
◆ Prediction
Expect the weekly logs to continue with security fixes, and more products to follow GravityView into bundled editions.
