John Gomez asked if Amplitude is seeing competition or blurring of analytics use cases from larger data platform players like Snowflake and Databricks, given their rapid progress in agent capabilities and customer consolidation, and then inquired about the drivers behind the profitability and free cash flow outperformance, and expectations for next year.

Answer

CEO Spenser Skates emphasized Amplitude's focus on offering the most advanced and robust analytics system, citing a 76% accuracy rate for its agentic platform compared to much lower rates for generic text-to-SQL approaches, due to its context layer, tool calls, and iterative querying capabilities built on the world's largest repository of user behavioral data. CFO Andrew Casey attributed the profitability and free cash flow outperformance to continuous efforts in driving revenue growth faster than expense growth, including go-to-market changes, process improvements, and increased contract duration reducing renewal efforts.

John Gomez from BTIG asked if the shift to agentic analytics is leading to new end users or lines of business leveraging Amplitude, and how this is impacting the company's go-to-market strategy.

Answer

Spenser Skates, CEO of Amplitude, clarified that the primary users remain product, marketing, engineering, and data teams. He emphasized that the biggest impact on the go-to-market strategy is the heightened demand for education on AI analytics, requiring Amplitude's team to focus on training, vision-sharing, and demonstrating product success.
