Market demand
1Is the AI phone assistant market growing in 2026?
Growing.
Over two years, visits went from 2.5K in October 2024 to a high of 180K in September 2026, and stand at 180K in September 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Allo, which is why I also look at the market without it.

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.

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

Share of all visits from Google. Traffic, not quality. 19 more listed tools are not measured here: 9 are measured in the category of their main product and 10 sit on shared domains whose traffic is not their own.
Miles explains
Allo alone has 98% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
