What is GravityKit?
GravityKit makes Gravity Forms merge tags readable chips you can preview before saving.
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons. Early October brought Visual Merge Tags in Foundation 1.35.0, turning raw merge tags into editable chips previewed against real entries. Later weeks added AI-built boards, AI-managed calendars, a range-slider search, live DataTables totals and a steady stream of security fixes across the suite.
What is Timely?
Timely adds seat visibility and per-period budgets in a steady run of weekly releases.
Timely is an AI time tracking platform built around AutoSheet and a set of project integrations. Late September added per-period recurring budgets, more reliable Trello and Jira syncing, a subscription view of active seats and pending invites, and finer report filters. October followed with timeline edits, Cmd+K search, away-time prompts, bulk editing and compliance views for team leads.

GravityKit makes Gravity Forms merge tags readable chips you can preview before saving.
◆ Current state
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons. Early October brought Visual Merge Tags in Foundation 1.35.0, turning raw merge tags into editable chips previewed against real entries. Later weeks added AI-built boards, AI-managed calendars, a range-slider search, live DataTables totals and a steady stream of security fixes across the suite.
◆ Where it's heading
The suite is moving in two directions at once: making Gravity Forms configuration less cryptic for site builders, and letting AI assistants operate its products through MCP. Security fixes appear in most weekly logs, a sign of a large plugin surface under active review.
◆ Prediction
Expect more GravityKit products to gain AI-assistant control and weekly security patches; whether Visual Merge Tags spreads to other plugins' settings is unclear.

October followed with timeline edits, Cmd+K search, away-time prompts, bulk editing and compliance views for team leads.
◆ Where it's heading
Timely ships weekly, splitting work between admin and compliance tooling and the day-to-day timeline. Integrations get reliability fixes rather than new connectors.
◆ Prediction
Expect more admin and compliance controls for team leads in the coming weekly notes.
