Gravity Wiz Weekly 240

Greetings, wizards!

The world is evolving faster than ever. Technology is breaking new ground every day. It can all feel a little overwhelming.

I bumped into this quote at my favorite sandwich joint:

As a cure for worrying, work is better than whisky

At Gravity Wiz, we work to solve real world problems every day, both in the development of our products and in the supporting of our customers. I have to say… it is quite the cure!

Do you have a project requirement that’s keeping you up at night? Drop us a line. I bet we can help. 🧙‍♂️

If we don’t hear from you, I’ll assume you found your answer in this week’s newsletter. 😄

Gravity Connect: OpenAI

When ChatGPT arrived almost two years ago, Clay (our CTO) spent a few weekends whipping up a free plugin that would allow Gravity Forms users to put the magic of AI to work in their forms.

Since then, our customers have put this plugin through its paces, building some truly exceptional tools. We’ve been gathering feedback and fine-tuning our vision for an even more robust version of this product all the while.

With the launch of Gravity Connect, we bring you the OpenAI Connection. GC OpenAI introduces the ability to…

• Stream AI responses
• Generate images
• Convert text into speech
• Transcribe audio into text
• Integrate with finely-crafted Assistants

And there’s more mind-bending functionality on the way! For now…

Highlights of the Week

We’ve got a yuge changelog this week. Here are my personal highlights.

• Advanced Calculations now supports multi-line conditionals. This means you can split your conditions across multiple lines improving readability for complex conditional statements.
• Word Count will now refresh the word count after a field has been dynamically populated by Populate Anything. Yaasss!
• Product Configurator now supports Booking products powered by WooCommerce Bookings and YITH Booking and Appointment for WooCommerce. Go on, book something!

Our ever popular Update Posts for Gravity Forms snippet can now update posts after the associated entry has been approved via a Gravity Flow User Approval step.

I can’t tell you how tempting it is to make this snippet into a plugin… who wants it?

New Snippet: Inline Datepicker for Mobile Devices

Our Limit Dates perk provide a one-click option for converting your Datepicker fields into Inline Datepickers – ya know, where you see the whole calendar by default.

But what if you want to show a regular datepicker for desktop users and an Inline Datepicker for mobile devices? This snippet will do the trick.
