Is the AI phone assistant market growing or shrinking?
Miles FosterOwner and tester, RankDude
The answer▲ Growing
- Visits, year on year, without Allo
- +64%
- Visits, last six months
- +1435%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 4 AI phone assistant sites I track (DataForSEO estimates). In September 2026 they got about 179,685 visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Allo; without it, visits are up 64% on a year ago.
See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month, plus what I expect for October 2026.

Miles explains
More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI phone assistant sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, Allo; without it, visits are up 64% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI phone assistant sites by name?
No name-search total is published this month: there are too few named searches to read (one counted site with about 20 US searches a month). A total needs at least two named sites and 500 searches a month. The term “ai phone assistant” itself gets about 880 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).
