Is the AI personal assistant market growing or shrinking?

The answer▲ Growing
- Visits, year on year, without OpenClaw
- +60%
- Visits, last six months
- +50%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- +217%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 22 AI personal assistant sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 1.5 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, OpenClaw; without it, visits are up 60% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 877% in a year while another lost 95% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI personal assistant sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, OpenClaw; without it, visits are up 60% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI personal assistant sites by name?
Up 217% on October 2025; 95.0K name searches a month in the US
Yes, more than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI personal assistant sites 95,040 times in September 2026, 217% more searches than in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai personal assistant” itself gets about 5,400 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains
Name searches are up 217%. This number does not change when Google reshuffles its results, so it is the most reliable sign of growth on this page.
3.Which AI personal assistant sites grew, and which shrank?
The five most-visited sites hold 84.6% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 97.8%
The five most-visited AI personal assistant sites get 84.6% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Fyxer, from 5,661 to 55,308 visits (+877%). Steepest fall: Trevor AI, from 6,477 to 342 visits (-95%).
