Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce ai” and “wordpress ai” for “ai blog writer” and “blogging”. “woocommerce ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ai blog writer” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wordpress ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “blogging” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 65.9K 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 39 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.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “1K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 7 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 2K.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles8 of the last 11 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

Desculpe, mas o caminho que este plugin seguiu nao me agradou, limitou completamente usuarios gratuitos quebrando toda a logistica existente, uma grande decepção. terei que criar minha propria API pois este plugin nao teve consideração com sua base de usuarios ativos. agora é alem de pagar API das I.AS é preciso pagar mensalidade para este plugin. uma pena. A Unica coisa que fará eu voltar a usar este plugin é se houver uma opção de pagamento unico ao inves de mensalidade. This topic was modified 4 months ago by danilopablo.

Esteban made a very nice plugin with this one! And this is not gerated by AI 😉 Besides that he helps with questions!

Thank you very much to the developers for providing such an excellent free and open-source tool. I would like to offer some suggestions for this tool: This tool needs to support multilingual display; currently, many parts of the code do not support multiple languages. The articles/tags/images generated by the plugin need to support alias translation, which is very friendly for SEO. For image generation, I hope there can be an additional method. If AI generation is not used, then some image libraries can be selected to use as thumbnails for articles. These images can be assigned randomly or in a certain order. This way, at least the thumbnail function is realized instead of having no thumbnails at all.
