Here’s how I read these two lines. They don’t show how many people search, only when interest rose and fell. Worldwide, it peaked in May 2026 and sits at 34 now, lower than a year ago. In the US it’s level with or above a year ago, and the Google Ads numbers below tell the same story. When you see a sharp spike, think news story, not new customers. The baseline between the spikes is the demand I actually care about.

Miles explains
This is the number I’d plan with: September 2026 had 110,000 US searches, about the same as in October 2025. Google Ads rounds these figures into steps, so a small move from one month to the next usually means nothing.
The US against 9 other countries

Miles explains
What strikes me is how American this is. The top five countries are United States, India, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany. Worldwide, people search for it about 3.3 times as often as in the US alone, so roughly 70% of the searches happen outside the US. Small markets look tiny here, but a site built for one language can still have a real audience these numbers miss.

The biggest related search is “ai gf”, at 74,000 searches a month worldwide. Rising fastest next to it on Google Trends: “zach braff ai girlfriend”, “ai girlfriend mydreamcompanion.com” and “james mcavoy ai girlfriend”. When a celebrity name shows up there, it’s a news story, not new customers.
