GPT-3 for now, then will take requests for others. Will look into adding ChatGPT when an API is available - next update will include database management, followed shortly by WordPress and AI.
Hi, very sorry for the delay in getting the next updates out. I've been spread pretty thin between traveling, working overtime, taking care of work for clients, and working on the software. Fortunately my schedule is becoming less hectic, so I'm starting to have more time to wrap things up for updates.
I first decided to only focus on the database features for the next update, but then tried to cram more into the next update so I could move it out of beta with v2.3. However, between the Database management, WordPress integration, and AI, there are still too many little bugs and quirks to push it all live, as everyone will have various issues that I'll need to handle support for.
I've pulled back from the AI and WordPress for this next release and am focusing on just polishing the database features so I can hurry up and get an update out, then will focus only on WP integration, then only on AI rewriting. Both of those are fairly close to done, so they shouldn't take long to polish.
Plus, I still have a list of various requests to work on adding in as well, and have found a few keywords that aren't scraping properly, though they appear the same as other results, so been trying to find the issue and tweak that.
Anyways, TLDR: Tried to cram too much in, left with too many bugs across all new features, pulled back to focus on one set of features, and am almost done and will push soon. Still have more to do and more requests that have been outstanding forever (sorry about that!), so trying to incorporate those asap as well.
PM sent, thanks for your interest!

Do I need proxies to use the PAA scraper or will it work "outofthebox".

PM sent shortly after your post - just wanted to follow up in public - thanks for your interest!
PM sent shortly after your post, but wanted to follow up in public - you don't need proxies if you do single-threaded scraping, but if you want to speed the process up with multithread scraping proxies are necessary to reduce blocks and captchas.

As for a long overdue update:
I got ambitious with the database features, as I wanted to include several aspects with the newest update.
In addition to storing questions and answers in a database, I've been working on tracking entered keywords to store which have been scraped and which are left and saving keywords and settings (output options and folders, spinning options, etc.) on a per-project basis - allowing users to scrape different groups of keywords to different folders. This allows users to easily group and organize scrape results (and will allow users to directly post to different WordPress sites when that feature is released).
However, I've been unhappy with the interface to manage all of this and have been working on refining it, but I hadn't had as much dev time as I would have liked through Nov & Dec, so this has added a lot of unwanted and unintentional delays. I've been back to working on updates on an almost daily basis through January, so I've been making decent headway.
With all that said - I've gotten OpenAI integration working so I don't want to keep that feature delayed much longer due to these other features, as I know it's probably the most requested functionality. I've moved a lot of this database functionality aside and and am working on a simplified version of the database for the next release that I can add to in subsequent releases, so I'm aiming to clean everything up and have a new version with OpenAI integration released within a week.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and support, I look forward to getting the new version out asap and building on it to have a lot of improvements and features added through February.
Will post here when the next version is live - won't take much longer.

I look forward to releasing it! Made more progress on cleaning up the codebase, so hoping to have it live a little quicker - will keep you posted.
Agreed, it definitely adds a lot in terms of quality and uniqueness, and I'm working on a framework to allow additional content generation to make articles look less PAA, but I'll save that info for after this current release is pushed.
Thanks again for y'all's patience and kind words!

Yes, its the end of PAA sites after multiple G updates. All the sites that I had built last year have lost more than 95% traffic and about 90% pages have ben deindexed and increasing day by day. I've read some threads here and many have converted their PAA sites to more blog like sites as shown below:
PAA sites before:
Title Q1 <h1>
A1
Q2 <h2>
A2
Q3 <h2>
A3
Q4 <h2>
A4
Q5 <h2>
A5
....
PAA sites after:
Title Q1 <h1> (Main question about topic)
A1 (2 to 3 paragraphs answer written with AI)
Q2 <h2> (Problems related to main question)
A2 (multiple paragraphs answer written with AI)
Subtopics <h3> (Created with AI for the main question)
Multiple paras written by AI
Q3 <h2> (Solutions to the problem related to the main question)
A3 (multiple paras written by AI)
.... and so on
So, you see this complex thing is being done by scripts in large scale. It would be great if something like this can be done by this tool.
Agreed, please allow output every details as below to spreadsheet individual columns, so that we could do concatenation to form different article styles our own.
Hope we could use the tool to create more types of content pieces as CSV columns as below:
- Scraped Q&A (2 columns)
- Spinned Q&A (2 columns)
- Translated Q&A (2 columns)
- AI-created related content/extra content from scraped A
- AI-created A from scraped Q
- AI-created related content/extra content from AI-created A
- AI-created related Q & A (2 columns) from scraped Q
- (low priority) 2 Image URLs related to Scraped Q main KW (2 columns)
- (low priority) 2 Youtube URLs related to Scraped Q main KW (2 columns)
Please consider, thank you.

That's almost exactly what I'm working on - prompts to rewrite the questions, options to create/add an intro, summarize key point, and an outro.
I'm working on providing default templates for this, but users will be able to customize the prompts so they can experiment with their own formats. That probably won't make it in the version I'm pushing for release, but I've already got a lot of the logic figured out so it will be a fairly quick secondary update after the initial rewriting functionality, which is more in line with what Mr. An mentioned (quoted below)
This is along the lines of what I've been working on for this next release - still wrapping up some adjustments to the export to include original q&as along with altered versions via AI rewrite/translate/spin. Already have more advanced outputs in the works as well, but focusing on polishing this core output first for next release before pushing some more advanced/flexible output options

I was hoping my next post would be to announce the update was ready, but the revamped export logic wound up being a bit more intricate than anticipated. Finally got it just about wrapped up, but hitting a snag on the compiled version on my test machine that I'm not encountering for the dev version, so trying to debug it. Putting in as much time as I can over the weekend (I'll be traveling some for a mini-birthday vacation, but cramming in as much dev time as possible) to hurry up and get it live for everyone - thanks again for your patience and sorry again for the delays.
And yes, thank you for the suggestion! I've been wanting to raise the price for a while - once the advanced GPT features are released (more intricate output vs just rewritten Q&As) and WordPress integration is pushed I'll be bumping the price quite a bit. Trying to hurry up and get it all done because I've been wanting to submit an updated sales thread/price for review for months!
Will post here as soon as I can get things smoothed out enough to ensure the experience is enjoyable and intuitive for users - not much longer.
excellent software - grabs questions and their answers quickly with output as a CSV (also a few other options there as well).
I just had a slight issue before with the software not working - got in touch and was answered super quick via support - turns out I was running an older version and a new install made it work again straight away.
- thanks for the great software and updates you have been making.
It has been an excellent investment so far
