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 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.

Rivet

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.
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.
