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. 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.

   First, you can only use this if you have free credits, or purchase credits, with OpenAI. Just an FYI for anyone looking for a free solution – this won’t be it. Second, it absolutely is not a site search. It just inserts a text box that allows you to chat with OpenAI. I’m sure there’s a place for this, but if you’re looking for a site search, you’ll be just as disappointed as me. I’m leaving one more star than it probably deserves because hey, at least y’all made a shortcode that inserts an OpenAI chatbot. It just doesn’t do what you said it would do.

   This is not an AI Search Bar. It is simply an OpenAI prompt on the website that has nothing to do with your own website. Do not use it at all with this plugin.

   Useful for searching OpenAI only. Not intended as a site search for your own website. Works great to search OpenAI. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by simon102605.
