What is GravityKit?
GravityKit adds Google Sheets export and Elementor calendar widget — WordPress form data reaches beyond the CMS.
GravityKit is an ecosystem of Gravity Forms extensions for WordPress (GravityView, GravityCalendar, GravityMath, GravityMigrate, GravityExport). The most recent releases add a Google Sheets live export that keeps spreadsheets in sync with Gravity Forms data, a GravityCalendar widget for Elementor, and Multiple Forms unions (stacking entries from multiple forms in a single view). Weekly 'Launch Log' releases ship 3–5 improvements and fixes across the plugin suite.
What is WorkOS?
WorkOS is building identity infrastructure for the AI agent era, shipping MCP auth and named agent credentials in a single week.
WorkOS has moved decisively beyond SSO-and-SCIM. The product now covers feature flags with custom targeting, SCIM debugging via dashboard-level log inspection, user groups with role assignment, and OIDC hardening (PKCE, Private Key JWT, pinned token-endpoint methods). The Android SDK rounds out its mobile surface. It is a multi-capability auth platform, not just an enterprise login kit.

GravityKit
5.0INFRA · APIS
GravityKit adds Google Sheets export and Elementor calendar widget — WordPress form data reaches beyond the CMS.
◆ Current state
GravityKit is an ecosystem of Gravity Forms extensions for WordPress (GravityView, GravityCalendar, GravityMath, GravityMigrate, GravityExport). The most recent releases add a Google Sheets live export that keeps spreadsheets in sync with Gravity Forms data, a GravityCalendar widget for Elementor, and Multiple Forms unions (stacking entries from multiple forms in a single view). Weekly 'Launch Log' releases ship 3–5 improvements and fixes across the plugin suite.
◆ Where it's heading
GravityKit is expanding the data portability and presentation options for Gravity Forms users: Google Sheets export, Elementor integration, and Multiple Forms unions all extend where form data can go and how it can be displayed. The consistent weekly cadence and security hardening releases (GravityMigrate, GravityRevisions) indicate a mature plugin ecosystem in steady maintenance mode with targeted new capabilities.
◆ Prediction
The Google Sheets export is likely to gain more granular sync controls (webhook triggers, specific column mapping). Additional page builder integrations beyond Elementor are probable given the established pattern.
WorkOS
7.5INFRA · APIS
WorkOS is building identity infrastructure for the AI agent era, shipping MCP auth and named agent credentials in a single week.
◆ Current state
WorkOS has moved decisively beyond SSO-and-SCIM. The product now covers feature flags with custom targeting, SCIM debugging via dashboard-level log inspection, user groups with role assignment, and OIDC hardening (PKCE, Private Key JWT, pinned token-endpoint methods). The Android SDK rounds out its mobile surface. It is a multi-capability auth platform, not just an enterprise login kit.
◆ Where it's heading
The last two weeks show a clear pivot toward agentic workloads: Agent Auth gives AI agents their own scoped, revocable identities, and MCP Enterprise-Managed Authorization lets identity providers control which agents can reach an MCP server. These are architectural additions that position WorkOS as the auth layer for AI systems, not just human users. Feature flags with custom targeting extend the product further into runtime configuration territory.
◆ Prediction
Expect WorkOS to deepen the agent identity model — likely adding agent-specific audit trails, usage metering per agent identity, and federation between agent credentials and existing enterprise SSO trees. The AuthKit Waitlist API suggests growth-stage SaaS tooling is a secondary expansion surface.
