Short answer

How can I query user behavior and segments with my AI?

Your agent uses Amplitude to fetch specific user profiles, list existing cohorts, or pull custom segmentation data. You'll get direct access to these insights through your chat interface.

Data outcomes

Where your queries land.

The AI translates your questions into specific data requests.

PROFILE

User snapshots

The AI pulls specific attributes and event history for a single user. You get a clear view of how one person uses your product.

COHORT

Group checks

Your agent identifies which users belong to specific cohorts. This helps you verify if your target groups are meeting certain criteria.

SEGMENT

Custom segments

The AI runs queries to find users meeting specific behavioral patterns. You get the data needed to understand niche user groups.

HUMAN

Strategic decisions

The AI provides the raw data and summaries. You still handle the high-level analysis and decide what actions to take next.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and Amplitude.

  1. Fetch user data

    When you ask about a specific person, the AI pulls their unique identity and activity details.

    get_user_profile

  2. List cohorts

    If you ask about groups, the AI pulls a list of all defined cohorts in your project.

    list_cohorts

  3. Run segments

    For broader questions, the AI builds and runs queries to find users that fit your specific criteria.

    get_segmentation

  4. Deliver insights

    The AI takes the data returned from the tools and presents it clearly in your chat window.
