What is the AI Assistant?
The AI Assistant is a Pro-only feature of Ultimate Spin Wheel that lets you explore your campaign data by asking questions in plain English. Instead of exporting CSV files and building spreadsheets, you type a question like “What is my best converting day?” and get a readable, data-driven answer inside your WordPress dashboard. It is an admin-only analytics helper — not a customer-facing chatbot.
Note: The AI Assistant is part of the separate Ultimate Spin Wheel Pro plugin. It runs on your own API key from OpenAI (GPT-4o) or OpenRouter (any supported LLM), which you configure in the plugin’s global settings. You control the provider, the billing, and the access.
The Core Concept: Conversational Analytics
The AI Assistant connects a large language model to your Spin Wheel campaign statistics. When you ask a question, it interprets what you mean, looks at the relevant campaign data, and formulates a human-readable answer rather than a raw number.
For example, instead of returning “Coupon A: 450”, it might respond: “Your ‘20% Off’ coupon is your top performer with 450 claims — roughly a 60% share of all wins.” This makes your performance data approachable without needing to be a spreadsheet or analytics expert.
What You Can Ask
The Assistant is designed to help you understand and improve your campaigns:
- Performance summaries: Ask how a campaign performed over a period, or compare one timeframe to another (for example, this weekend versus last weekend).
- Prize and coupon insight: Find out which prizes are claimed most, and which ones lead to real engagement.
- Optimization tips: Get actionable suggestions to improve opt-ins and conversions — for example, ideas for a stronger headline when your view-to-spin rate is low.
- Pattern spotting: Surface trends in your lead and spin data that are easy to miss when scanning tables by hand.
What It Is NOT
To set expectations correctly:
- Not a customer support bot: The Assistant is visible only to you, the administrator. Your website visitors cannot see or interact with it.
- Not a magic wand: It analyzes your data. With little or no traffic and few spins, there is not enough information for it to draw meaningful conclusions.
- Not an auto-pilot: It offers insights and suggestions, but you decide what to act on. You stay in control of every change to your campaigns.
Privacy & Control
- Your own key: You supply your own OpenAI or OpenRouter API key, so billing and access stay under your control — there is no middleman service.
- Analytics focus: The Assistant is built to read and interpret your campaign statistics and help you make decisions, not to modify your WordPress site on its own.

Conclusion
The AI Assistant (Pro) turns hours of manual analysis into a quick conversation, helping you understand your Ultimate Spin Wheel campaigns and act on what the data shows. Powered by your own OpenAI or OpenRouter key and visible only to administrators, it is a private, in-dashboard analyst for growing your results. If you need help, visit the wowDevs support center.
