Growing.

Over two years, visits went from 49M in November 2024 to a high of 948M in October 2026, and stand at 948M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, ChatGPT, which is why I also look at the market without it.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are up and name searches are up, so they agree.

“ai paper writer” is searched about 1,600 times a month worldwide, 63% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai paper writer” until December 2022; interest then climbed to its peak in July 2026. Americans make 63% of the searches but only 8% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Germany and Canada.

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.

More visits than a year ago, more people searching by name, and the next six months look like growth.

The fastest growers over the year, ChatGPT, Claude and Jenni, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Yomu, lost ground (-50%).

Visits vs September 2026

Biggest gain this month

Claude +27%

Biggest loss this month

Jenni -33%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like ChatGPT’s +320% 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 4% more than October 2026, and the next six months to look up.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a busier month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Expected in November 2026

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 ChatGPT, with 919 million visits a month, 97% of all visits.

ChatGPT and Claude together hold 100% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 1 sites share 0%.

ChatGPT alone has 97% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
