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 Workato?

Workato adds per-tool RBAC to MCP servers, tightening agent blast radius for enterprise deployments

Workato has built a complete agentic automation platform — Genies (AI agents), Agent Studio (the dev environment), AIRO (the in-product AI assistant), and MCP server hosting — all integrated within its existing enterprise automation fabric. The last several weeks show the platform maturing past early access: Genies now run up to 30 minutes, connect to multiple chat interfaces simultaneously, and deploy to any surface via a headless API.

Gravity Wiz vs Workato: editorial side-by-side

G6.3

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.

Workato adds per-tool RBAC to MCP servers, tightening agent blast radius for enterprise deployments

◆ Current state

Workato has built a complete agentic automation platform — Genies (AI agents), Agent Studio (the dev environment), AIRO (the in-product AI assistant), and MCP server hosting — all integrated within its existing enterprise automation fabric. The last several weeks show the platform maturing past early access: Genies now run up to 30 minutes, connect to multiple chat interfaces simultaneously, and deploy to any surface via a headless API.

◆ Where it's heading

Workato is moving from automation-as-workflow to automation-as-agent-runtime. Each release adds enterprise governance to the agent layer: feedback loops, evaluation frameworks, tool-level access controls. The bet is that enterprises will want one governed, auditable system for both traditional recipe automation and LLM-driven agents — and Workato is building the security and observability layer that makes that bet credible.

◆ Prediction

The headless API and MCP RBAC move together suggest a partner and ISV distribution play: external products embedding Genie-powered automations with scoped, governed access. Expect the RBAC model to extend to recipes and connections next, creating a unified authorization surface across the full platform.
