AI Search Volume Estimator

Free, no signup. Nobody publishes per-keyword query counts for ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity — so "AI search volume" isn't a number you can look up, only one you can model. Paste the Google volume you already have and this splits a total "AI pie" across each system's market share, tracked month by month. Google AI Overviews are shown separately (they're still Google searches).

+ add monthly Google-volume history (optional)

Paste month,volume lines (e.g. 2026-01,12000) to see how the AI-equivalent volume moved as market share shifted. Overrides the single value above for the months you provide.

Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is uploaded or stored. The 'Copy share link' button encodes your inputs into the URL locally. Anonymous run-level outcome counters may be used for aggregate research; URLs, domains, IPs, and identifiers are never included, and no statistic is released below 100 runs.

Sample report

Say you enter a single commercial keyword with 12,000 Google searches a month:

keyword,volume,intent
best crm software,12000,commercial
how to migrate crm data,2400,informational
salesforce login,90000,navigational

…and, for that keyword, the tool returns:

  • Total AI (2.6K, 22%) is nine systems combined, not just the two or three you might think of first — ChatGPT is the largest single slice (1.4K) but Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Perplexity, and Copilot each add a smaller share. See how the model splits share ↓.
  • AI Overviews (3.6K, 30%) is shown apart from Total AI on purpose — those are still Google searches surfacing an AI-generated answer, not third-party assistant demand, so adding them to the "Total AI" figure would double-count against Google's own 12K.
  • Changing intent changes every AI figure — informational queries route to assistants at a higher rate than commercial ones, so the same 12K would produce a bigger AI slice under a different intent. Model the underlying market shift with AI search.

How to use it

  1. Keep Single keyword selected and paste a Google monthly volume (a keyword label is optional). Pick a Search intent — AI usage skews toward informational and research queries, so this materially changes the estimate.
  2. Or switch to Bulk (CSV / paste) to upload or paste a keyword list with a volume column — Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Semrush exports auto-detect. Then press Analyze list.
  3. Read the four summary stats, the per-system bar chart for the selected month, and the two over-time charts. Change Snapshot month and Region to move the estimate through time and geography.
  4. Open Assumptions & market-share inputs to edit any number — the search-like share, the total AI pie, each system's ratio, intent modifiers, and the AI Overviews trigger rate. Copy share link to save or share your exact configuration.

Assumptions & market-share inputs — every number is editable

AI systems effective ratio = total-AI-pie × market share

Intent modifiers how much each intent shifts to AI

Editing the pie or a system ratio changes the snapshot for the selected month. The over-time charts always use the sourced monthly market-share history.

How this is calculated & where the numbers come from

The model. Each month, a system's effective multiplier is the total AI pie (AI search-equivalent volume ÷ Google volume) times that system's market share. Then for a keyword with Google volume V and an intent:

ratio(system, month) = aiPieOfGoogle(month) × marketShare(system, month)
system volume       = V × ratio × intentModifier × consolidationFactor

Where the pie comes from. The total AI pie is anchored to ChatGPT's stated prompt volume, following the Ahrefs analysis: 2.5B ChatGPT prompts/day × 65% "search-like" ÷ 13.7B Google searches/day ≈ 12% of Google for ChatGPT alone (July 2025). Dividing by ChatGPT's ~54% market share gives a total pie of ~22% by May 2026. The 65% is the biggest lever and is an editable input — OpenAI/Harvard's stricter "pure search" reading is ~24% (which lands the pie near ~8%). A cross-check: Perplexity's ~40M search-native queries/day works out to ~1.3% of the pie, matching its ~1.3% web-visit share.

Google AI Overviews are modeled separately — they are still Google searches, just answered with AI, so they are never added into the third-party AI total:

AI Overview–influenced = V × aioTriggerRate × intentModifier

Read this as directional, not precise. No platform publishes per-keyword AI query volume. Headline market shares are sourced (below); the total-pie sizing, smaller-system splits, and per-month interpolation are coarse estimates. AI usage skews toward informational and research queries, so the intent modifiers matter. Adjust every input to match your own data or beliefs.

Default sources

    Estimates only. "AI search volume" cannot be measured directly — this tool converts known Google volume into a modeled AI equivalent so you can size the opportunity, compare systems, and see the trend. All computation happens locally in your browser.

    This estimator turns the Google keyword volume you already have into a modeled view of demand across AI assistants. For the concepts behind it, see AI search and AI share of voice. To grow that demand, pair it with AI Overviews optimization and answer engine optimization.

    How to read the estimate

    • Google · [month] — the traditional Google volume you entered, carried through unchanged for the selected snapshot month.
    • Total AI (assistants) — the modeled sum across all enabled third-party assistants, with its share of Google volume beneath it. This is the headline "AI search volume" figure.
    • Google AI Overviews — a separate estimate of your Google searches that return an AI answer. Shown dashed and never added into Total AI, because they still happen on Google.
    • Combined search + AI — Google plus the assistants, for a rough all-in demand picture.
    • Per-system bars — the estimate split by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, and Other, each coloured to its brand.
    • estimated / interpolated month flag — appears when the snapshot month is not a sourced anchor month, so its market share was interpolated. On the over-time charts, filled dots are sourced anchors and the line between them is interpolated.

    Assumptions & methodology

    Everything runs client-side — there is no server or API, and nothing you enter is uploaded or stored. For each month, a system's effective multiplier is the total AI pie (AI search-equivalent volume ÷ Google volume) times that system's market share that month; your keyword volume is then multiplied by that, an intent modifier, and a query-consolidation factor. Google AI Overviews are modeled independently as volume × trigger rate × intent modifier so they never double-count assistant demand.

    The default pie is anchored to Ahrefs' analysis of ChatGPT prompt volume — about 12% of Google for ChatGPT alone in mid-2025, dividing out to roughly a 22% total pie by 2026 — with a Perplexity cross-check. Market shares are stored per month in a bundled data file, so the estimate can be tracked over time, and every headline source is dated in the methodology panel.

    Features

    • Single-keyword and bulk modes; bulk auto-detects the volume (and optional intent) column from Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Semrush CSV/TSV exports.
    • Per-system estimates for eight assistants plus an overall total, with Google AI Overviews shown separately.
    • Month-by-month snapshots and two over-time charts (volume, and market share by system), with interpolation between sourced anchor months clearly flagged.
    • Optional per-keyword monthly Google-volume history (month,volume lines) so the trend reflects your own demand movement, not just shifting market share.
    • Every assumption is editable — search-like share, total pie, each system ratio, intent modifiers, consolidation factor, AI Overview trigger rate, and region.
    • CSV export of per-keyword estimates and a shareable link that encodes your full configuration in the URL hash.

    Limitations

    These are modeled estimates, not measurements. No assistant publishes per-keyword query volume, so the total-pie sizing, the split across smaller systems, and the month-to-month interpolation are coarse. The single biggest lever is the search-like share of AI prompts (0.65 following Ahrefs versus about 0.24 for a stricter pure-search reading), which alone can roughly halve or double the AI pie. The tool starts from your Google volume, so it inherits any error in that input, and it does not itself fetch keyword volumes, measure your rankings, or check whether you actually appear in AI answers. Treat the output as a way to size and compare opportunity, and adjust the assumptions to your own data before relying on it.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is AI search volume?

    AI search volume is an estimate of how many times a question or topic is asked inside AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Copilot each month. Unlike Google keyword volume, no assistant publishes per-keyword query counts, so it cannot be measured directly — this tool models it by taking a share of the traditional Google search volume you already have. Treat every figure as a directional estimate, not measured data.

    How do you estimate AI search volume from Google keyword volume?

    For each system, the tool computes an effective multiplier equal to the total "AI pie" (AI search-equivalent volume divided by Google volume for a month) times that system's market share that month. It then multiplies your Google volume by that multiplier, an intent modifier, and a query-consolidation factor. The default pie is anchored to Ahrefs' analysis of ChatGPT prompt volume (about 12% of Google for ChatGPT alone in mid-2025, roughly 22% across all assistants by 2026), and every input is editable so you can match your own assumptions.

    Are Google AI Overviews counted as AI search volume?

    No. AI Overviews (and AI Mode) are still Google searches that happen to be answered with AI, so the tool shows them on a separate, dashed line and never folds them into the third-party "Total AI" figure. They are modeled as your Google volume times an editable AI Overview trigger rate times the intent modifier, which keeps Google demand and assistant demand from being double-counted.

    Is AI search volume data accurate or real?

    It is a model, not a measurement. Headline market shares come from dated, cited sources, but the total-pie sizing, the split across smaller systems, and the month-to-month interpolation are coarse estimates. The single biggest lever is the "search-like share of AI prompts" input (0.65 following Ahrefs versus about 0.24 for a stricter pure-search reading). Read the output as a way to size and compare the opportunity, and adjust the assumptions to your own beliefs before you rely on it.

    Does this tool send my keywords anywhere?

    No. The estimator is entirely client-side — all parsing and math run in your browser, and nothing you paste or upload is sent to a server or stored. The only network activity is loading the page and its bundled market-share data file. That means you can paste a full keyword export (Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, or Semrush) without it leaving your machine.

    Sobre a ferramenta

    Grátis e sem cadastro. Ninguém publica contagens de consultas por palavra-chave para ChatGPT, Gemini ou Perplexity — portanto, “volume de pesquisa de IA” não é um número que você possa consultar, mas algo que você pode modelar. Cole o volume do Google que você já tem e distribua um “total de IA” entre as participações de cada sistema, acompanhando-o mês a mês. As Visões gerais de IA do Google são mostradas separadamente (elas ainda são pesquisas do Google).

    Recursos

    • Instantâneos mês a mês e dois gráficos ao longo do tempo (volume e participação de mercado por sistema), com interpolação entre meses-âncora identificados como tal.
    • Estimativas por sistema para oito assistentes e um total geral, com as Visões gerais de IA do Google exibidas separadamente.
    • O caso-base usa o modelo editável de participação de mercado. Os casos baixo e alto usam as leituras publicadas de 24% (estrita) e 65% (ampla) para prompts de IA semelhantes a pesquisas, além de uma incerteza moderada na participação de cada sistema. As Visões gerais de IA permanecem separadas porque são pesquisas do Google.
    • Fórmula: volume do sistema = V × ratio × intentModifier × consolidationFactor

    Como funciona

    Isso é um modelo, não uma medição. As participações de mercado principais vêm de fontes datadas e citadas, mas o dimensionamento do total, a divisão entre sistemas menores e a interpolação mês a mês são estimativas aproximadas. A maior alavanca é a entrada “participação de prompts de IA semelhantes a pesquisas” (0,65 segundo a Ahrefs contra cerca de 0,24 numa leitura mais estrita de pesquisa pura). Leia a saída como uma forma de dimensionar e comparar a oportunidade e ajuste as premissas aos seus próprios dados antes de confiar nela.

    Limitações

    • Estimativas modeladas, não medições. Nenhum assistente publica volume de consultas por palavra-chave; o tamanho do total, a divisão entre sistemas menores e a interpolação mês a mês são aproximados. A maior alavanca é a participação de prompts de IA semelhantes a pesquisas.
    • Tudo é executado no navegador — não há servidor nem API, e nada que você insira é enviado ou armazenado.

    Perguntas frequentes

    O que é volume de pesquisa de IA?

    Volume de pesquisa de IA é uma estimativa de quantas vezes uma pergunta ou tópico é consultado em assistentes de IA como ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity e Copilot a cada mês. Ao contrário do volume de palavras-chave do Google, nenhum assistente publica contagens de consultas por palavra-chave, então isso não pode ser medido diretamente — esta ferramenta modela o volume usando uma parcela do volume tradicional de pesquisas do Google que você já tem. Trate cada número como uma estimativa direcional, não como dado medido.

    Como você estima o volume de pesquisa de IA a partir do volume de palavras-chave do Google?

    Para cada sistema, a ferramenta calcula um multiplicador efetivo igual ao “total de IA” (volume equivalente à pesquisa de IA dividido pelo volume do Google no mês) multiplicado pela participação de mercado do sistema naquele mês. Em seguida, multiplica seu volume do Google por esse multiplicador, por um modificador de intenção e por um fator de consolidação de consultas. O total padrão parte da análise da Ahrefs sobre o volume de prompts do ChatGPT (cerca de 12% do Google apenas para o ChatGPT em meados de 2025 e aproximadamente 22% para todos os assistentes em 2026), e todas as entradas são editáveis para corresponder às suas premissas.

    As Visões gerais de IA do Google contam como volume de pesquisa de IA?

    Não. As Visões gerais de IA (e o Modo IA) ainda são pesquisas do Google que apenas recebem uma resposta de IA; por isso, a ferramenta as mostra em uma linha separada, tracejada, e nunca as incorpora ao “Total de IA” de terceiros. Elas são modeladas como seu volume do Google multiplicado por uma taxa de acionamento editável das Visões gerais de IA e pelo modificador de intenção, evitando a dupla contagem entre a demanda do Google e a dos assistentes.

    Os dados de volume de pesquisa de IA são precisos ou reais?

    É um modelo, não uma medição. As principais participações de mercado vêm de fontes datadas e citadas, mas o dimensionamento do total, a divisão entre sistemas menores e a interpolação mês a mês são estimativas aproximadas. A maior alavanca é a entrada “participação de prompts de IA semelhantes a pesquisas” (0,65 segundo a Ahrefs contra cerca de 0,24 numa leitura mais estrita de pesquisa pura). Leia a saída como uma forma de dimensionar e comparar a oportunidade e ajuste as premissas aos seus próprios dados antes de confiar nela.

    Esta ferramenta envia minhas palavras-chave para algum lugar?

    Não. O estimador é totalmente executado no navegador — toda a análise e a matemática rodam localmente, e nada que você cole ou envie é enviado a um servidor ou armazenado. A única atividade de rede é carregar a página e o arquivo de dados de participação de mercado incluído. Assim, você pode colar uma exportação completa de palavras-chave (Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs ou Semrush) sem que ela saia da sua máquina.
