Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai”, “chatbot” and “content generator” for “dall e”, “mistral” and “openai”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dall e” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chatbot” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mistral” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “content generator” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “openai” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.4%

of downloads still active

At least 2K of 138K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 1 release 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’ve tried a lot of different plugins to get the best from AI. This plugin has cool features. I really like AI Comment Generator for example..I’ve also asked some questions in the support and they replied pretty fast. So overall I’m happy with this plugin, I can definitely recommend it!

    Its very limited like other autoblogging software which look like knock offs of each other. Nothing original, new, creative nor outstanding. Another software with illogical approach to writing. If you are writing an article, do you start by setting the number of paragraphs and sections or do you write naturally based on your flow, ideas and research? AI-Bud is weird. The AI capability on this plugin is also limited by programmer-defined macros, so you are not getting full capabilities as you would on standalone Claude or ChatGPT. For example, the rich data analysis or details you get from Playground cannot be reproduced in the Content UI. Thats because the Subject and Title are limited by programmer-defined prompts. Plugins like AI-BUD are for producing regurgitated generic content, not custom content. They are limited in structure and AI capability. Anything that generates content by inserting a keyword or title cannot produce unique / custom content.

    Been looking for a tool like this but to no avail, as I create lots of content in bulk. Works so well. Thank you!

    I have used countless content generating plugins until today, but this plugin is different from all of them. The content it produces is as if it was written by a professional writer.
