Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai” for “ai editor”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ai editor” sits at #21 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 →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 6.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,010 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 5 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 tried a few AI plugins and this is exactly what I wanted for Gutenberg. It works well with my theme styles and makes gutenberg much easier for me! Also there are no signups or unnecessary features like many other AI plugins have. I entered my own OpenAI api key and it works. Simple!

Setup of the plugin worked well, though manual upload was necessary as plugin is not supported in current version (6.9.4). Added API key and selected GPT 4o (v5 seemed to be missing in drop down). Was able to then access the AI chat in the page builder, and it was able to create a new block. Unfortunately it was not able to change any styling, access external website or any existing block, which really limits its use. Would be great to see: Ability to edit existing page content/blocks. Ability to adjust styling Able to access external pages to pull content to build pages. This topic was modified 3 months, 2 weeks ago by yotikewebdesign.

I tried several solution to get GPT model to Gutenberg, but this one looks very promising. I hope it will be envolved for example to generate title based on content or some how to use custom GPT trained model to have more precise information.
