Amplitude, Inc. (Headquarters: San Francisco, US; CEO: Spencer Skates; hereafter "Amplitude"), a leading digital product analytics platform, today announced the "Amplitude AI Assistant," an embedded support agent that enables companies to provide personalized support within their products. When users get stuck while using a product, the AI Assistant suggests the next steps to take or executes them on their behalf. It provides context-aware responses and step-by-step guidance, as if an expert were explaining things right next to them, completing the support without requiring them to leave the product.
Many traditional AI chatbots are designed to handle support tickets or answer simple questions. Because they are embedded within a separate CX system and only respond to the input provided in that moment, they are unaware of the user's behavior before or during the conversation with the chatbot. In contrast, Amplitude's AI Assistant is built on Amplitude's AI analytics platform, allowing it to connect every chat to actual user behavior, product journeys, and in-product guidance features. This not only allows users to get immediate help, but also enables product teams to see where users are getting stuck and what fixes are effective for activation, conversion, and retention.
Spencer Skates, Co-founder and CEO of Amplitude, stated, "When users get stuck in a product, they shouldn't have to submit a ticket or hunt through help pages. The Amplitude AI Assistant is embedded in the product, understands user behavior to grasp intent, and helps them complete tasks on the spot. This is the beginning of a new world where the product itself guides the user. Being supported becomes part of the user experience, eliminating the frustration caused by separate processes."
The features of the Amplitude AI Assistant are as follows:
Personalized Support for Every Individual: It cross-references user behavioral data and history to personalize every interaction, providing the most appropriate guidance for the situation directly within the product.
Assistance in Completing Critical Tasks: The AI Assistant can provide step-by-step guides or take action on behalf of the user in a single conversation to complete an entire workflow. Users can resolve their blockages without leaving the product to search for answers or wait for support.
Proactive Response to User Challenges: It monitors and identifies moments of frustration, providing contextual help before the user abandons the task or churns.
Full Visibility into All Answers: It provides complete transparency in every interaction, specifying the sources cited, the reasoning applied, and the decision-making process behind the answer, providing an environment where companies can feel confident in the responses.
Because the AI Assistant is integrated with Amplitude's AI analytics platform, all user interactions are leveraged as data to create a smarter support experience. With Guides and Surveys, the AI Assistant can determine when to intervene, what guides to share, and how to assist with specific tasks. With Session Replay, it can visualize the cause of the user's question and their behavior after receiving an answer. When human intervention is required, full details are seamlessly transferred to the support team to prevent delays. Furthermore, through AI Feedback, conversations with the agent are continuously translated into product intelligence, providing product teams with insights into user needs.
As the standard for customer experience rises, the demand for in-product AI assistants is increasing. A Gartner report notes, "Agentic AI acts as an intermediary between chatbots and complex processes, revolutionizing how users access and utilize information. It handles complex tasks, executes multi-step workflows, and provides highly granular, personalized suggestions."
Until now, support agents have had the potential for further evolution, and with the introduction of the Amplitude AI Assistant, this has finally been realized. This product offers companies...
