Growing, but visits are down 5.1% over the last six months.

Over two years, visits went from 5.0M in October 2024 to a high of 9.1M in February 2026, fell to 6.0M in July 2026, and recovered to 8.5M in September 2026. Five sites take 63.1% 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 up and name searches are up, so they agree.

“ai girlfriend” is searched about 450,000 times a month worldwide, 30% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai girlfriend” until April 2023; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026. Americans make 30% of the searches but only 25.4% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Indonesia and Canada.

Miles explains

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

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

The fastest growers over the year, Candy AI, OurDream.ai and BabeChat, each grew several times over, usually from a small base. The losers, led by Kuki AI, lost most of their search visits (-96%).

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Candy AI’s +3451% 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. October is usually a quieter month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Expected in October 2026

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 4 times.

The most visited is SpicyChat, with 2.4 million visits a month, 29% of all visits.

SpicyChat and CrushOn AI together hold 48% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 60 sites share 36.9%.

Miles explains

SpicyChat alone has 29% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
