Amplitude helps AI startups understand how users interact with their models so they can improve product performance quickly. AI teams use Amplitude to:

  • Measure AI feature usage: Track prompts, model outputs, and task success to see which AI workflows drive activation and retention.
  • Improve model quality: Use behavioral insights, funnels, and conversion drivers to understand where AI predictions succeed or fail.
  • Test model versions safely: Roll out new prompts or model updates using feature flags and A/B testing with built-in statistical guardrails.
  • Diagnose issues quickly: Session Replay shows exactly where users struggle with an AI assistant or automation.
  • Personalize AI experiences: Real-time cohorts let teams target onboarding, recommendations, or responses based on user behavior patterns.

With generous MTU limits and full access to analytics, experimentation, and replay, Amplitude gives AI startups the tools to ship better models—and iterate faster.

Amplitude provides a powerful set of AI features that help teams analyze behavior, surface insights, and make faster product decisions:

  • : Goal-oriented agents that analyze dashboards, session replays, experiments, and surveys to surface insights, diagnose issues, and recommend actions. Agents can be customized, scheduled, and integrated with Slack or email.
  • : Automatically categorizes and summarizes customer feedback (tickets, reviews, transcripts) into actionable themes like bugs, requests, or friction points. Connects insights to cohorts, replays, and experiments.
  • : A natural-language interface for creating charts, answering analytics questions, and searching content—making analytics accessible to anyone.
  • : Deep-learning models that predict behaviors such as conversion or churn and trigger personalized actions across the product experience.
  • : Helps teams understand and improve how their brand appears in AI-generated search results with visibility scores and competitive insights.
  • : Allows teams to query Amplitude data through AI code assistants (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code) using natural language.

All AI features are built with strict privacy and security controls, including tenant isolation, encryption, and opt-out options.

An MTU is a unique user who triggers one or more events in an analytics or experimentation project in a calendar month. This can be either an anonymous user (which Amplitude tracks via device ID) or an identified user (tracked by user ID). Basically, the more user interactions tracked across all projects in a month, the higher the MTU count.

Your MTU count reflects the total number of unique users tracked across all your analytics and experimentation projects in a month. This article walks you through exactly .
