What is Gravity Wiz?

Gravity Wiz previews Flowcrafter, a visual workflow canvas for Gravity Forms.

Gravity Wiz has been launching whole products: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, and Product Configurator 1.0 and Spam Hexer in June. On November 6 it opened early access to Flowcrafter Beta 1, a free plugin for building Gravity Forms processes on a visual canvas with steps, decisions, approval waits and a record of each run.

What is Rivet?

Rivet Actors can now fork in 20 ms, SQLite database included, without copying data.

Rivet builds infrastructure for long-lived actors and AI agents: BYOC, OpenTelemetry tracing, actor-scoped JWTs and agentOS Hosted VMs. The 3.0 Preview made Rivet a single stateless binary on S3, and the Rust SDK reached general availability on 6 November. On 11 November Rivet added actor forking: a fork starts in 20 ms with the original actor's state and SQLite database and costs nothing until it writes.

Gravity Wiz vs Rivet: editorial side-by-side

G3.8

Gravity Wiz previews Flowcrafter, a visual workflow canvas for Gravity Forms.

◆ Current state

Gravity Wiz has been launching whole products: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, and Product Configurator 1.0 and Spam Hexer in June. On November 6 it opened early access to Flowcrafter Beta 1, a free plugin for building Gravity Forms processes on a visual canvas with steps, decisions, approval waits and a record of each run.

◆ Where it's heading

Each launch takes Gravity Forms further from data collection: bookings made it a scheduling tool, and Flowcrafter makes it a process engine where a submission starts multi-step work. The pattern is broad new surfaces, with beta and alpha releases before 1.0.

◆ Prediction

Expect further Flowcrafter betas adding steps and integrations with existing perks such as GP Bookings, before a 1.0 release.

Rivet
DEVOPS
7.5

Rivet Actors can now fork in 20 ms, SQLite database included, without copying data.

◆ Current state

Rivet builds infrastructure for long-lived actors and AI agents: BYOC, OpenTelemetry tracing, actor-scoped JWTs and agentOS Hosted VMs. The 3.0 Preview made Rivet a single stateless binary on S3, and the Rust SDK reached general availability on 6 November. On 11 November Rivet added actor forking: a fork starts in 20 ms with the original actor's state and SQLite database and costs nothing until it writes.

◆ Where it's heading

Rivet keeps turning its S3-backed storage engine into features for agent workloads. Copy-on-write forking follows from the 3.0 storage design and gives agents a cheap way to branch a session, try something and discard it. The SDK and auth work of the past two months points to Rivet positioning actors as the runtime for agent backends.

◆ Prediction

Forking is likely to show up next in agentOS and the Pi integrations as a way to branch agent runs; the entries do not say when 3.0 leaves preview.
