The 50 Fastest-Growing AI Companies

We analyzed the branded search growth of 3,000 software companies to discover the fastest-growing AI companies around.

When we published our list of 50 trending tech startups, surprise surprise—AI companies topped the list. In fact, AI is so hot right now that I decided to add hundreds of AI startups to our company list and run the same analysis, to see which companies are best riding the AI hype.

Here’s how we built this list (and how you can do the same using Ahrefs):

Sahara AI is a decentralized blockchain platform focused on democratizing the AI ecosystem. I have no idea what that means, but their huge brand search growth suggests people absolutely love it. I guess this is what comes of having the words “blockchain” and “AI” in your company description.

Artisan AI offers “AI employees” to handle sales outreach. AI SDRs for personalized email outreach is a pretty popular use case for generative AI, and if the company name sounds familiar, it’s because they went viral on Reddit recently for their “Stop Hiring Humans” booth at TechCrunch Disrupt. (The fact that they’re on this list suggests that the campaign worked.)
