Market demand
1Is the AI interview assistant market growing in 2026?
Growing, but name searches are down 31% since October 2025.
Over two years, visits went from 11.5K in November 2024 to a high of 471K in January 2026, fell to 201K in May 2026, and recovered to 247K in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Final Round AI, which is why I also look at the market without it.

WorldVisits a month to AI interview assistant sites, worldwide
Miles explains
I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are up and name searches are down, so they don’t agree yet.

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.
Monthly analysis
3What changed in the AI interview assistant market in October 2026?
About as many visits than a year ago only because of Final Round AI, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.
The fastest growers over the year, lockedin-ai and Verve AI, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Sensei AI, lost ground (-37%).

Sensei AI-37%
Final Round AI-29%
Miles explains
Huge percentages like lockedin-ai’s +150% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.
Monthly forecast
4What happens next for AI interview assistants?
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
- 244,524 visits
- Likely range
- 211K to 278K
- Expected in May 2027
- 245K -1%

Miles explains
Final Round AI alone has 57% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
