Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 522K in November 2024 to a high of 1.1M in December 2024, and stand at 494K in October 2026. Five sites take 71.4% 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 agents for websites” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower 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, YourGPT, Wonderchat and Chatling, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Richpanel, lost most of their search visits (-71%).

Visits vs September 2026

Biggest gain this month

Wonderchat +87%

Biggest loss this month

Chatbase -24%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like YourGPT’s +283% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 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.

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 ChatBot.com, with 116,352 visits a month, 24% of all visits.

ChatBot.com and YourGPT together hold 43% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 9 sites share 28.6%.

Miles explains

ChatBot.com alone has 24% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
