What is Rivet?
Rivet is pivoting from actor infrastructure into agentOS, a runtime built for coding agents.
Rivet's recent releases orbit agentOS, its bet on infrastructure for AI coding agents: a package registry, a Rust-rewritten Secure Exec, a sub-millisecond package manager, and durable cron jobs for actors. The pitch is a lightweight, WASM-backed Linux VM that gives an agent a terminal, filesystem, and networking without a heavy sandbox. The older actor and compute primitives are becoming the substrate for an agent-runtime story.
What is Gravity Wiz?
Gravity Wiz keeps widening the Gravity Forms add-on surface, one perk at a time.
Gravity Wiz is shipping a steady cadence of new and upgraded add-ons for Gravity Forms, spanning WooCommerce configuration, spam control, calculations, conditional logic, and booking/calendar sync. The releases are individually scoped rather than platform-level.
Rivet vs Gravity Wiz: editorial side-by-side
Rivet
6.3DEVOPS
Rivet is pivoting from actor infrastructure into agentOS, a runtime built for coding agents.
◆ Current state
Rivet's recent releases orbit agentOS, its bet on infrastructure for AI coding agents: a package registry, a Rust-rewritten Secure Exec, a sub-millisecond package manager, and durable cron jobs for actors. The pitch is a lightweight, WASM-backed Linux VM that gives an agent a terminal, filesystem, and networking without a heavy sandbox. The older actor and compute primitives are becoming the substrate for an agent-runtime story.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is unmistakable: Rivet is repositioning its actor platform as the execution layer for coding agents, adding the pieces a package ecosystem needs, a registry, fast installs, secure exec, and scheduling. Each release fills a gap between running code and running an agent's whole environment. Expect the agentOS surface to keep expanding toward orchestration and multi-agent coordination.
◆ Prediction
Look for higher-level agent orchestration and hosted agentOS environments to follow the registry and runtime work, plus more SDK coverage after the recent Rust and Effect SDKs. The durable-primitives thread of cron and actors will likely extend to long-running agent workflows.
Gravity Wiz
2.5DEVOPS
Gravity Wiz keeps widening the Gravity Forms add-on surface, one perk at a time.
◆ Current state
Gravity Wiz is shipping a steady cadence of new and upgraded add-ons for Gravity Forms, spanning WooCommerce configuration, spam control, calculations, conditional logic, and booking/calendar sync. The releases are individually scoped rather than platform-level.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is ecosystem breadth: fill gaps in the Gravity Forms feature set with focused perks and free plugins, deepening lock-in for form-heavy WordPress sites. Recent 2.0/alpha releases (Advanced Calculations, Advanced Conditional Logic) show a move to strengthen core form-logic primitives, not just add peripheral tools.
◆ Prediction
Expect Advanced Conditional Logic to progress from alpha toward release and more WooCommerce and bookings-adjacent perks, continuing the fill-the-gaps strategy.
