What is GravityView?
GravityView 3.0 brings AI-built Views and a new theme; the suite ships weekly.
GravityView reached 3.0 in June 2026 with the Vantage theme, AI-assisted View creation, page-builder embedding, and frontend bulk actions, then settled into weekly launch-log releases refining maps, DataTables, filtering, and conditional logic. The feed is a GravityKit suite log, so GravityView updates arrive interleaved with sibling products like GravitySearch.
What is Rivet?
Rivet pivots from actor backend to a coding-agent OS, and is building the ecosystem to match.
Rivet began as an actor and serverless backend platform — RivetKit, Rivet Actors, Rivet Compute — and has spent the last month reorienting around agentOS, a WebAssembly-based Linux environment for running coding agents without a heavy sandbox. The June and July releases show both threads running in parallel: native language SDKs (Rust, Effect) for Actors, and a fast-maturing agentOS that now has its own package registry.
GravityView vs Rivet: editorial side-by-side
GravityView
5.0DEVOPS
GravityView 3.0 brings AI-built Views and a new theme; the suite ships weekly.
◆ Current state
GravityView reached 3.0 in June 2026 with the Vantage theme, AI-assisted View creation, page-builder embedding, and frontend bulk actions, then settled into weekly launch-log releases refining maps, DataTables, filtering, and conditional logic. The feed is a GravityKit suite log, so GravityView updates arrive interleaved with sibling products like GravitySearch.
◆ Where it's heading
Post-3.0 the cadence is incremental hardening: accessibility (row headers), 3D maps, distance sorting, and search, while AI and MCP tooling spread across the suite. GravityView is broadening from a data-display plugin toward an AI-assisted, map-rich data layer on top of Gravity Forms.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued weekly point improvements to Maps, DataTables, and search, with the AI/MCP View tooling maturing rather than another large version bump soon.
Rivet
7.5DEVOPS
Rivet pivots from actor backend to a coding-agent OS, and is building the ecosystem to match.
◆ Current state
Rivet began as an actor and serverless backend platform — RivetKit, Rivet Actors, Rivet Compute — and has spent the last month reorienting around agentOS, a WebAssembly-based Linux environment for running coding agents without a heavy sandbox. The June and July releases show both threads running in parallel: native language SDKs (Rust, Effect) for Actors, and a fast-maturing agentOS that now has its own package registry.
◆ Where it's heading
The center of gravity is shifting from hosting stateful actors to being the runtime coding agents execute inside. agentOS went from a v0.2 sandbox alternative to shipping a package registry and a sub-millisecond package manager in under two weeks, a sign Rivet wants to own the developer surface around agent execution, not just the compute underneath it.
◆ Prediction
Expect agentOS to keep accreting ecosystem pieces — more registry content and tighter orchestration — while the Actors SDKs settle toward maintenance. A likely next move is deeper coupling between agentOS and Rivet Compute so agents run on Rivet's own cloud.
