Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 1.4M in November 2024 to a high of 14M in April 2026, and stand at 4.5M in October 2026. Five sites take 92.2% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are level, so they don’t agree yet.

“ai story generator” is searched about 201,000 times a month worldwide, 45% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai story generator” until June 2022; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026. Americans make 45% of the searches but only 17.1% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Canada and United Kingdom.

Miles explains

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.

Fewer visits than a year ago, name searches holding steady, and the next six months look like a slide.

The losers, led by Story Spark, lost most of their search visits (-76%).

Writecream +12%

Easemate -29%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Type’s +93% 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 5% fewer than October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

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

4,239,626 visits

Likely range

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 3 times.

The most visited is NoteGPT, with 2.2 million visits a month, 50% of all visits.

NoteGPT and Easemate together hold 86% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 14 sites share 7.8%.

Miles explains

NoteGPT alone has 50% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
