Data Assistant Overview

A clean, organized tracking plan helps you get the most value from Amplitude Data. When you have hundreds or thousands of events and properties, maintaining the plan can be difficult, especially when identifying what to fix in messy data.

Amplitude's AI Data Assistant helps you maintain your tracking plan by showing a short list of suggested modifications whenever you visit the Data home page. Amplitude's internal AI generates these suggestions automatically. Any changes you apply through Data Assistant post directly to your tracking plan, with no other action required.

Update your tracking plan with Data Assistant

To update your tracking plan using Data Assistant, follow these steps:

1. Open Amplitude Data. Data Assistant appears at the top of the home page, displaying a list of top suggestions.

   Data Assistant prioritizes suggestions based on their expected impact on your overall data health, surfacing the most critical issues first. For example:

   • If your project is close to the limit on the number of event types, a suggestion to clean up events surfaces as a critical issue, since exceeding the limit can make new event types unqueryable.
   • If high-volume events get heavy query traffic but have unclear names or meanings, Data Assistant may propose descriptions that help users and AI understand those events better.

2. Click a suggestion to expand it. The suggestion expands directly below, where you can see the proposed changes in detail. The action label describes the suggestion type, such as Review deletions or Review descriptions.

3. In the expanded suggestion, you can:

   • Modify the proposed action before applying it, such as editing the proposed description or category.
   • Click Approve to accept the suggestion and apply the change to your tracking plan.
   • Click X to dismiss the suggestion. Dismissals apply for 90 days to everyone in the organization.

4. To take action on multiple items at once, use the bulk action controls at the bottom of the expanded suggestion.

Detect semantically similar events

Data Assistant detects events that are semantically similar, such as Order Placed and Completed Purchase, which people and AI find hard to tell apart. When it finds these events, it suggests one of two fixes: merge the events with a transformation, or draft descriptions that clarify how each event differs from the other.

Use Data Assistant interactively

Beyond the suggestions panel on the Data home page, you can work with Data Assistant interactively through Global Chat or by creating an Agent in the Agents section. In a single conversation, you can ask your own questions, run custom audits, and act on the results. You can apply bulk actions to as many as 1,000 items at once, and you can dismiss any suggestions you don't want to act on.

Automated tasks in Data Assistant

Data Assistant provides automated tasks to help you clean up your data. Automated tasks let data governors define conditions and actions that the system performs automatically. Automated tasks automate repetitive clean-up workflows by turning Data Assistant recommendations into automatic actions.
