Biggest opportunity: “ai agent”, “chatbot” and “conversational ai” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 1.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Fabulash Faces2.5y ago
ChatSpark is not like any other chatbot on the market. I have a website with all the information potential and current clients would need to learn more about Fabulash Faces such as pricing and how to book an appointment. However, most people do not take the time to read. Instead, they will call, send a text or send a DM. ChatSpark engages with the customer to answer all those questions 24/7 in the personality determined through our set up of the chatbot. We also instructed ChatSpark bot to get more people to book an appointment. We were getting about 50 of those types of calls/messages previously. Since implementing ChatSpark, those inquiries have gone down to zero and our bookings are UP 32%! ChatSpark has freed up valuable time and increased customer satisfaction all while saving me more money because I did not need to hire additional staff.
