Is the AI scheduling assistant market growing or shrinking?

The answer▼ Shrinking
- Visits, year on year, without SavvyCal
- -13%
- Visits, last six months
- -6.5%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- -17%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 16 AI scheduling 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 5.5 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, SavvyCal; without it, visits are down 13% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 269% in a year while another lost 64% 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 scheduling assistant sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, SavvyCal; without it, visits are down 13% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI scheduling assistant sites by name?
Down 17% on October 2025; 477K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI scheduling assistant sites 477,400 times in September 2026, 17% fewer 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 scheduling assistant” itself gets about 1,000 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.

The five most-visited sites hold 91.8% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 99.8%
