AI Week 2026: Upleveling All Together

In mid-April, Amplitude hosted its second AI Week. We stopped business as usual and dedicated an entire week to improving our AI skills. But unlike last year’s AI Week, we roped in the entire company.

That’s right, this learning week wasn’t just for EPD: marketing, finance, sales, and even leadership joined in on becoming AI-first. Together, we learned new AI tools, questioned existing processes, and tested out new ways to work.

The goals:

• Feel more comfortable and confident with AI. We know AI can help us build a better Amplitude for our customers. We want everyone to come along on that journey.
• One concrete improvement. Everyone needed to find at least one way to level up their workflow and use AI to make their day-to-day work smoother.
• Working apps, agents, and workflows that address wider issues, multiply each other’s efforts, and solve problems that weren’t possible to solve six months ago.

How we achieved those goals was up to us. To support and encourage our open-ended learning, we also had AI guest speakers, in-office events, and unfettered access to AI tools.

So Monday morning, 9 AM, we got to work becoming BFFs with Claude. Here’s how it went and what we built.

Making AI Week a reality: Alignment, support, inspiration

Just like with our first AI Week, our bottoms-up work was made possible by top-down alignment. Leadership had a shared vision of the week’s importance, and they made sure that people actually stopped work as normal. CEO Spenser Skates even built his own AI demo.

Beyond that alignment, this week also took the critical support of our IT team, workplace team, and a core team of organizers. They’re our undisputed MVPs.

• The IT team got marketers into GitHub, helped salespeople open a terminal for the first time, distributed API keys and tool access, and contained the anxiety during Claude outages. In total, they enabled 600+ employees and fielded 40+ official support tickets.
• The workplace team made the week feel special in person. Along with seamless support for the highest occupancy rates in our offices ever, they got us breakfast burritos, boba teas, ramen lunch, happy hour drinks, and Friday morning donuts.
• The organizer team was a cross-functional core that centralized our efforts. They planned out the week, hosted team meetings, and built and maintained an online hub for AI Week info. They even built a demo repository and recording tool.

And for inspiration, we were incredibly lucky to hear from guest speakers about their own AI transformations.

So what did we build?

After four days of vibe coding, team workshops, and “Thinking…” we shared our projects within our functional orgs, picked the best-of-the-best, and then demoed to the whole company. Here are the top-voted projects among more than 300 demos.

Measuring success: Calluses, not merit badges

There’s a trend for companies to signal how AI-forward they are by bragging about how much they spend on AI. However, we don’t think tokenmaxxing is the best gauge for actual results. Instead, we looked at the calluses our employees got from the work they put in:

• 300+ demos recorded and uploaded
• 300+ skills built and added to our GitHub skills repository
• 97.5% of all Ampliteers using Claude (even ones on vacation)
• 550+ builders using Lovable
• 1,400+ enthusiastic emoji reactions on our dedicated AI Week Slack channel
• Yes, we did 2x our baseline token spend

Taken together, we can safely say we hit our goals for the week. We’re more comfortable and confident with AI, we built concrete improvements, and we addressed wider issues.

It’s still early to say what the ongoing impact of this week will be. But across the board, we’re excited to lean into the AI future, embrace what’s possible, and carry forward our learning as we build an even better AI Analytics Platform.
