What is Gravity Flow?

Post-3.0, Gravity Flow adds choice-based routing and keeps its extension family current

Gravity Flow is a WordPress workflow-automation plugin fresh off its 3.0 major release, now iterating on the core engine and maintaining a wide extension family (Checklists, Parent-Child Forms, PDF Generator). The headline recent feature is 3.1's Choice Routing step plus a Send to Step bulk action.

What is Rize?

Rize stops being a time tracker you query and becomes one that runs on a schedule without you.

The August drop lands as one roll-up plus six component entries published together: an Agent tab for live conversation over your Rize data with follow-up actions, Routines that run scheduled prompts and open follow-ups from context, AI Reports that turn prompts and templates into recurring analysis for client profitability and team overviews, Shared AI Skills as reusable saved prompts scoped personal, team or workspace, Agent Context with custom tagging instructions so the agent learns how a team labels clients and projects, and API/MCP surfaces exposing report runs, routine runs, Skills and agent context. Days earlier, v3.0.45 shipped My Timesheet and Team Timesheets with click-and-drag entry editing.

Gravity Flow vs Rize: editorial side-by-side

G2.5

Post-3.0, Gravity Flow adds choice-based routing and keeps its extension family current

◆ Current state

Gravity Flow is a WordPress workflow-automation plugin fresh off its 3.0 major release, now iterating on the core engine and maintaining a wide extension family (Checklists, Parent-Child Forms, PDF Generator). The headline recent feature is 3.1's Choice Routing step plus a Send to Step bulk action.

◆ Where it's heading

The 3.0 rebuild reset the foundation; 3.1 shows the payoff arriving as concrete workflow primitives — routing by field choice, bulk step moves. Alongside, the extensions are being kept in lockstep with 3.0 (including a breaking PDF Generator 3.0). Direction is deepening workflow-authoring capability on a modernized base.

◆ Prediction

Expect more routing and step-type primitives layered onto the 3.x engine, and continued extension updates aligning each add-on with the new core.

R7.5

Rize stops being a time tracker you query and becomes one that runs on a schedule without you.

◆ Current state

The August drop lands as one roll-up plus six component entries published together: an Agent tab for live conversation over your Rize data with follow-up actions, Routines that run scheduled prompts and open follow-ups from context, AI Reports that turn prompts and templates into recurring analysis for client profitability and team overviews, Shared AI Skills as reusable saved prompts scoped personal, team or workspace, Agent Context with custom tagging instructions so the agent learns how a team labels clients and projects, and API/MCP surfaces exposing report runs, routine runs, Skills and agent context. Days earlier, v3.0.45 shipped My Timesheet and Team Timesheets with click-and-drag entry editing.

◆ Where it's heading

Rize sparked twice this spring on chatting with your time data over MCP; this release is the step from asking to delegating. Routines and scheduled AI Reports mean the analysis happens whether or not anyone opens the app, and Shared Skills plus Agent Context turn one person's prompt into team infrastructure. Exposing routine and report runs through the API and MCP makes the agent layer callable from outside, which is what turns a feature into a platform surface.

◆ Prediction

Expect Routines to gain triggers beyond a schedule — a budget threshold crossed, unlogged time detected — and the timesheet work to be pulled into agent review flows. Invoicing sparked earlier this month, so billing is the obvious destination for a routine that finds unbilled time on its own.
