What is GravityKit?
A mature Gravity Forms suite is quietly wiring AI and MCP into every layout
GravityKit ships weekly across a deep bench of Gravity Forms add-ons — GravityView, Maps, Charts, Calendar, DataTables, Import, and Zero Spam. Recent logs mix genuine capability (3D maps, distance sorting, cross-form GravitySearch) with steady bug-fix hygiene. The suite's newest thread is agent-facing: GravityKit MCP and Block MCP now let AI assistants build and edit Views and themes.
What is Honeycomb?
Honeycomb is rebuilding observability around AI agents, then hardening it for the enterprise.
Honeycomb has turned its observability platform toward monitoring AI agents themselves, not just the services they run against. Agent Timeline and Agent Conversations are GA, giving teams visibility into multi-agent LLM workflows — tool calls, tokens, latency, and failures in one trace-native view. A redesigned Canvas and an MCP server round out an investigation stack built for humans and agents working the same incident.

A mature Gravity Forms suite is quietly wiring AI and MCP into every layout
◆ Current state
GravityKit ships weekly across a deep bench of Gravity Forms add-ons — GravityView, Maps, Charts, Calendar, DataTables, Import, and Zero Spam. Recent logs mix genuine capability (3D maps, distance sorting, cross-form GravitySearch) with steady bug-fix hygiene. The suite's newest thread is agent-facing: GravityKit MCP and Block MCP now let AI assistants build and edit Views and themes.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is toward AI-assisted and agent-driven site building on top of Gravity Forms data. GravityView 3.0 introduced AI View creation and a page-builder-native embed model; Block MCP is extending that to safe theme template editing, and Zero Spam has picked up AI spam review with silentCAPTCHA. The weekly cadence keeps the older layout products (Maps, DataTables, Charts) improving in parallel.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to keep widening — more View and theme operations exposed to assistants — and the AI View-creation flow from 3.0 to spread deeper into the layout add-ons.
Honeycomb
5.0INFRA · APIS
Honeycomb is rebuilding observability around AI agents, then hardening it for the enterprise.
◆ Current state
Honeycomb has turned its observability platform toward monitoring AI agents themselves, not just the services they run against. Agent Timeline and Agent Conversations are GA, giving teams visibility into multi-agent LLM workflows — tool calls, tokens, latency, and failures in one trace-native view. A redesigned Canvas and an MCP server round out an investigation stack built for humans and agents working the same incident.
◆ Where it's heading
The last two months of releases have shifted from shipping the big agent surfaces to making them governable and usable at scale: multi-team OAuth on the MCP server, custom-attribute filters on Agent Conversations, and Activity Log graduating to GA for Enterprise. The pattern is consolidation of the agent-observability bet into something an enterprise buyer can permission and audit.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued enterprise-governance and MCP refinements — deeper permissioning, richer Agent Conversation filtering and analytics — rather than a new flagship surface in the near term.
