Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 1.0M in October 2024 to a high of 2.7M in January 2026, fell to 1.6M in May 2026, and recovered to 1.9M in September 2026. Five sites take 81.4% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

Google Trends barely registered “ai agent builder” until August 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in October 2025.

Five-year peak

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is about the same than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.

The fastest growers over the year, MindStudio, Browserbase and Botpress, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by CustomGPT, lost most of their search visits (-90%).

Pickaxe +46%

LlamaIndex -27%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like MindStudio’s +1953% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect October 2026 to be about the same as September 2026, and the next six months to look flat.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.

Expected in October 2026

1,921,511 visits

Likely range

1.8M to 2.1M

Expected in April 2027

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 5 times.

The most visited is Voiceflow, with 520,675 visits a month, 27% of all visits.

Voiceflow and Botpress together hold 48% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 20 sites share 18.6%.

Miles explains

Voiceflow alone has 27% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
