Amplitude unveils AI Agents to automate digital product growth

Techday NZ2 days ago

Amplitude has launched Amplitude AI Agents, a new suite of artificial intelligence-driven assistants designed to automate a range of product development and management tasks.
Amplitude's AI Agents are intended to function as a team of specialised experts, supporting organisations in achieving goals such as improved checkout conversion rates and faster feature adoption. The agents analyse user behaviour, run experiments and optimise product experiences to help teams work more efficiently and effectively.
Resource challenges
The company highlights that resource constraints are common among product, marketing and data teams. Gathering data, generating dashboards, running queries, and testing hypotheses are often time-consuming tasks. Such work can be hindered by limited team capacity, leaving little room for strategic planning or execution.
With the introduction of Amplitude AI Agents, organisations are expected to be able to explore, test and iterate more rapidly. The agents can monitor data, detect patterns, observe user sessions, form and test hypotheses, implement changes and measure their impact—all while human teams focus on strategic goals and creative problem-solving. Teams can instruct agents on specific focus areas, such as conversion, engagement, or campaign performance, and the agents will then begin their tasks based on these guidelines.
Executives' perspectives "The pressure to turn data into real outcomes is growing across Australia and New Zealand — yet many teams are still struggling to make that leap," said Mark Drasutis, Head of Value, APJ at Amplitude. "Many don't have the time, tooling and resources to use data effectively, but Amplitude's AI Agents change that. They don't just focus on writing code, they also allow you to automate product management tasks and experimentation at scale. These agents unlock the ability for teams to solve problems that previously felt out of reach and more efficiently improve the customer experience."
The issue of user trust with enterprise AI agents has previously been a concern, as some solutions have made changes autonomously. Amplitude states that its customers retain control over the autonomy level of their AI Agents. Organisations can set guardrails and approve any customer-facing changes, ensuring that the AI Agents function under human oversight.
Use case templates
Amplitude plans to release multiple use-case-specific AI Agent templates. These include: Website Conversion Agent, which monitors performance metrics and investigates conversion drops by analysing user sessions, subsequently recommending improvements.
Onboarding Agent, which identifies points where users hesitate or abandon onboarding, and then creates in-app guides tailored to assist specific user segments.
Feature Adoption Agent, which analyses engagement with new product features across different user groups, offering targeted recommendations for increasing adoption rates.
Monetisation Agent, which detects signs that users are ready to upgrade or purchase premium features, and suggests interventions such as in-product messages or special offers.
Vinay Sharma, Head of Software Engineering at Yum! Brands, commented on the potential for these agents to streamline and accelerate product development processes. "What excites me most about Amplitude's AI Agents isn't just that they can identify conversion issues or run experiments - it's that they'll be able to work through dozens of scenarios and execute toward our goals while our team focuses on higher-level strategy," said Vinay Sharma, Head of Software Engineering at Yum! Brands. "The traditional product development process gets bottlenecked by resource constraints, but Amplitude is changing that. With Agents, it'll be much faster and easier to understand customer behaviour, identify optimisation opportunities, and measure impact."
Spenser Skates, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Amplitude, noted that demand for AI Agents has been high. "AI Agents were our most-wanted new product at multiple customer advisory boards this year," said Spenser Skates, CEO and co-founder of Amplitude. "They give our customers an edge in building products people love, and they mark the beginning of a broader AI evolution at Amplitude."
Platform integration
Amplitude's AI Agents are integrated across the company's Digital Analytics Platform, leveraging data from Analytics, Session Replay, Experimentation and Guides and Survey modules. According to the company, the agents not only use organisation-specific data but also apply insights observed across thousands of teams that use Amplitude's platform.
The new agents are positioned as a response to increasing demand for more automated and scalable solutions in digital product development and optimisation.

Amplitude launches AI Agents to streamline product optimisation

Amplitude has introduced AI Agents that continuously analyse user behaviour, conduct experiments, and suggest optimisations to enhance product experiences for businesses. The new Amplitude AI Agents are designed to work alongside product, marketing, and data teams by automatically performing data review, pattern identification, and experimentation, which the company says will allow teams to focus more on strategic and creative tasks. Teams can instruct AI Agents to focus on specific business goals, such as checkout conversion, feature adoption, retention, or campaign performance, and the agents operate in the background to monitor relevant data streams and user interactions. Once anomalies or opportunities are detected, the AI Agents suggest potential changes, run tests, and report back on results. Amplitude has developed several templated AI Agents to address frequent challenges for digital product teams. Current templates include Website Conversion Agent, Onboarding Agent, Feature Adoption Agent, and Monetisation Agent. Each template is configured to tackle a core aspect of the user journey or business goal. The Website Conversion Agent, for example, automatically identifies where users might be dropping off in the checkout process and provides targeted recommendations for improvement. The Onboarding Agent tracks where users struggle or abandon onboarding, offering tailored in-app guidance to improve completion rates. The Feature Adoption Agent analyses engagement patterns with new features, while the Monetisation Agent recommends actions based on signals indicating readiness for purchase or upgrade. Amplitude states that its AI Agents do not autonomously implement customer-facing changes unless explicitly approved by the customer. The platform enables organisations to set levels of autonomy, establishing guardrails for the agents according to trust and experience with the system. "AI has been a part of Amplitude's DNA since our founding, and now we're delivering the first AI Agents in the data space to do anything meaningful beyond code and SQL generation," said Spenser Skates, CEO and co-founder of Amplitude. "Companies often tell us they have the data, but they don't have the resources to analyse or act on it. With Amplitude's AI Agents working around the clock, product development shifts from a slow, step-by-step process to a high-speed, multi-track system where strategy, analysis, and action can happen at the same time. This isn't just about doing what you've always done, faster. It's about doing what you wouldn't, couldn't, or didn't know how to do before." Skates indicated that while AI and analytics have become common, Amplitude's AI Agents intend to go beyond traditional dashboarding and insights by directly supporting hypothesis creation, intervention, and outcome analysis. The company underlines the level of control kept by its customers, particularly where user-facing changes or communications are involved. According to the company, as trust in AI Agents grows, customers can opt to increase agent autonomy or keep manual oversight in place. Jenny Hock, Vice President of LogMeIn products at GoTo, said: "Most analytics tools stop at insights, leaving you to figure out the rest of the puzzle: what are the drivers behind a trend, and what to do next. What excites me most about Amplitude's AI Agents is their ability to go beyond observations and into intelligent action. They can formulate hypotheses, analyse outcomes, and roll out changes – all tailored to your unique business goals. It's like gaining a dozen expert teammates who free up your time to focus on innovation and impact." Amplitude notes that demand for these AI Agents has been consistent in its customer advisory boards, with Skates adding: "AI Agents were our most-wanted new product at multiple customer advisory boards this year. They give our customers an edge in building products people love, and they mark the beginning of a broader AI evolution at Amplitude." Amplitude's AI Agents operate using data captured via its broader Digital Analytics Platform, which includes modules such as Analytics, Session Replay, Experimentation, and Guides and Survey. The system draws on patterns observed from over 4,000 existing customers. According to Amplitude, companies utilising these AI Agents include organisations such as Atlassian, Shopify, NBCUniversal, Under Armour, and Jersey Mike's.
