Is the AI sales assistant market growing or shrinking?

The answer▲ Growing
- Visits, year on year, without Nooks
- +3.2%
- Visits, last six months
- +0.2%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- -0.5%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 14 AI sales 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 245,775 visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Nooks; without it, visits are up 3% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 37% in a year while another lost 98% 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
Visits are lower than a year ago. Most of the drop since September 2026 is one site: Clari went from 135,918 to 95,765 visits. Without it, the other sites grew 9% on the month. Google Trends interest in the term fell (-75%), but name searches did not, so some interest has cooled.
2.Are people searching for AI sales assistant sites by name?
About level with October 2025 (-1%); 23.7K name searches a month in the US
About as many as before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI sales assistant sites 23,670 times in September 2026, about the same as 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 sales assistants” itself gets about 480 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Name searches are level, so the regular users are still there.
