Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 1.1M in November 2024 to a high of 2.3M in February 2026, and stand at 1.5M in October 2026. Five sites take 62% 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 customer service agents” until August 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026.

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.

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

The fastest growers over the year, eesel AI, YourGPT and Wonderchat, each grew several times over, usually from a small base. The losers, led by Ada, lost most of their search visits (-73%).

Wonderchat +87%

Botpress -49%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like eesel AI’s +348% 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.

Expected in November 2026

1,526,504 visits

Likely range

1.4M to 1.7M

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 eesel AI, with 434,411 visits a month, 29% of all visits.

eesel AI and Botpress together hold 43% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 31 sites share 38%.

Miles explains

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