Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 99.1K in November 2024 to a high of 1.7M in December 2025, and stand at 667K in October 2026. Five sites take 90.9% 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 down, so they agree.

Google Trends barely registered “ai voice agents” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is about the same than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look like a slide.

The fastest growers over the year, Retell AI, Insighto AI and Synthflow, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Phonely, lost most of their search visits (-100%).

Visits vs September 2026

Biggest gain this month

Synthflow +42%

Biggest loss this month

Cresta -22%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Retell AI’s +483% 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 6% 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.

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 4 times.

The most visited is PolyAI, with 383,322 visits a month, 57% of all visits.

PolyAI and Retell AI together hold 72% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 21 sites share 9.1%.

Miles explains

PolyAI alone has 57% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
