Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai chatbot”, “chatbot” and “customer support” for “rag”, “voice chat” and “xai”. “ai chatbot” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rag” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chatbot” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “voice chat” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “customer support” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “xai” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 7.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 12 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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #10,100 to #11,100, alongside the other plugins at 300+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
