Kognetiks Chatbot for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 66% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   All I can say is the support was amazing. The developer reached out to me to help resolve an issue I was having and got my chatbot working exactly as I wanted it.The amount of features you get for a free plugin is equally amazing. Thank you for all your support !!

   I have been using the Kognetiks chatbot for quite a few months now and have also been part of the Discord server. The chatbot is very simple to use and the support given by Stephen has been incredible for so many people across the board. If you are looking for a no-fuss plugin to work with ChatGPT for your site, I highly recommend this one, especially for the Knowledge Navigator function as well. It’s a real credit to have the developer so hands-on and helpful as well, and it’s been great to see Kognetiks chatbot grow as more people use it and more use cases are seen. Thank you Stephen for your continued work and support in making an awesome plugin!

   Je cherchais un plug-in pour connecter mes Assistants Playground GPT. Il existe un certain nombre de plug ChatGPT génériques, mais rares sont ceux qui traitent le sujet des Assistants. En voici un qui marche très bien. En plus le service assuré par son concepteur Stephen est top qualité 🙂

   This is a simple, reliable plugin that does what it promises, and it does it well! And it’s really free. Thanks to the Kognetics team for their collaborative spirit and the responsiveness of their support. For those who wonder, do not forget to create your pesonalised assistant to fit your needs, the plugin is fine. This topic was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by adanantonio.

   Highly recommended. The plugin works perfectly and can be integrated without any problems.For me, this is yet another confirmation that there are still people out there who provide good software free of charge as open source.The support is also very competent and fast. The developer is also open to suggestions for improvement.
