Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai” and “mcp” for “openrouter” and “ai disclosure”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “openrouter” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “mcp” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “ai disclosure” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.4%

of downloads still active

At least 10K of 2.6M lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 153 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.

    The ability to create custom AI templates and define prompts is simply brilliant. OpenRouter also works perfectly. There’s an enormous variety of options for preparing prompts for text and images. It’s truly a plugin that offers tremendous versatility even in the free version. It also works flawlessly with Metabox CPTs and Woocommerce. I’ll gladly purchase the premium version; thank you for this sophisticated technical development. I’ve tested several AI tools, but this plugin is hard to beat in terms of speed and the useful range of features and automations. Product descriptions for WooCommerce can also be created and expanded with ease. Thank you so much!

    A super great AI plugin all the latest best features, with content management / knowledge base even better than anybody = 5 stars for sure … and far less critical bugs than others adding plenty of features as if not testing. That being said, it would be nice to improve even more the management of big knowledge base, what the plugin is already great at, such as: bulk add all new posts from a category, that are not included yet bulk update/refresh the ones already in the base or older than xyz …. currently for that, its painful if you have a couple of thousands 😉 and hard to avoid duplicates

    I especially like how customizable the chatbot can be made to be. Also the size of the chatbot pop up can be reduced or increased. Settings are not complicated.

    I tried another plugin and wasn’t pleased. I switched to this one and the difference is stunning. The detail and thought put into the product is fantastic. I’m only using a small fraction of it’s functionality and the support I’ve received is top notch. And that’s for the free version! I definitely plan on upgrading to the Pro version eventually.
