Marqo (Tensor search for humans.) and PolyAI both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Marqo and PolyAI sit at essentially the same overall ecosystem score (40), which is unusual and worth reading through the pillars below.

On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Marqo is slightly ahead of PolyAI. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Marqo is ahead of PolyAI. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), PolyAI is ahead of Marqo.
