Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai” for “minutes”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “minutes” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 14.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,015 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 10 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

I liked that it offers different options for me to connect any chatbot I need. I also liked the add-on which gives the chatbot user specific context. This was helpful for my paywall based site where user got an answer from the content they have purchased.

We’ve been using AI BotKit on our WordPress site and I’m really impressed. Within minutes my bot was live on the site without any hassle. It’s simple, smooth, and works just as expected. The support team has also been responsive whenever we had questions. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a simple chatbot for their Website .

We are using a free version of this plugin, and so far its performing exactly like we expected. Being the most affordable plugin in the market , it has all necessary features. And the team supported us to train the bot with our materials and also they helped to do the initial set up. Happy with the plugin so far, we will move to the paid tier soon.
