Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    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.
