Zocdoc says AI agent traffic grew nearly 30-fold since July

The doctor-booking platform is opening its doors to registered AI agents while much of the industry pulls the drawbridge up Zocdoc has a new kind of patient, and it doesn’t have a pulse. CEO Oliver Kharraz says traffic from AI agents to the doctor-booking platform has grown nearly 30-fold since July. The growth hasn’t been gradual. Kharraz says that traffic has been doubling roughly every 10 days since early September, which is less a trend line and more a ski jump. Instead of treating the bots as a nuisance, Zocdoc is building them a front entrance. On October 28, 2026, Zocdoc announced it was opening its scheduling infrastructure to registered AI agents. Those agents can now search the company’s database of more than 200,000 verified healthcare providers.
