Review Agent Insights
When to Use
- Weekly review of AI-generated analytics findings before team planning meetings
- When Amplitude's AI agents have run analyses and you need to synthesize what they found
- Before a product review meeting: "what does the data say this week?"
- When multiple automated analyses have run in parallel and need to be consolidated
- When a product manager or exec asks "what are our top data insights right now?"
- Triaging alerts from Amplitude's AI-powered anomaly detection and forecasting features
Core Jobs
1. Retrieve Recent Agent Analysis Results and Findings
Pull all recent agent results from the target time window:
mcp__Amplitude__get_agent_results:
time_range: last 7 days (or since last review)
status: completed
types: [anomaly_detection, forecast, correlation, funnel_analysis, retention_analysis]
Also retrieve user feedback insights that may have been automatically processed:
mcp__Amplitude__get_feedback_insights:
time_range: last 7 days
min_mentions: 3 (filter noise — only topics mentioned 3+ times)
Expected finding types from Amplitude agents:
- Anomaly alerts: Metrics that deviated significantly from baseline (spikes, drops)
- Correlation findings: Unexpected relationships between events or user segments
- Funnel insights: Steps with unusually high drop-off, conversion changes
- Retention insights: Cohorts with better or worse retention than expected
- Forecast deviations: Actual metrics diverging from projected trends
- Segment insights: Specific user segments behaving differently from the whole
2. Rank by Estimated Business Impact
Not all findings are equal. Prioritize by impact on the metrics that matter most.
Impact estimation framework:
Revenue impact (highest priority):
- Findings that affect paid conversion, upgrade rate, or churn rate
- Anomalies in purchase funnel steps
- Segments with significantly different LTV behavior
Engagement impact (high priority):
- Changes to activation rate or time-to-first-value
- Retention curve changes in key user segments
- Feature adoption that correlates with paid conversion
Operational impact (medium priority):
- Error rate changes that affect user experience
- Performance degradations that increase session abandonment
- Support volume drivers (features causing high escalation to support)
Informational (lower priority):
- Normal seasonal variations correctly identified as anomalies by the agent
- Findings about low-traffic features with minimal user impact
- Correlation findings that are interesting but not actionable
Scoring guidance:
High impact: finding affects >10% of MAU or >5% of revenue metric
Medium impact: affects 1-10% of MAU or 1-5% of revenue metric
Low impact: affects <1% of MAU or <1% of revenue metric, or informational
3. Identify Patterns Across Multiple Analyses
Multiple agent analyses often surface related signals. Look for recurring themes:
Pattern types:
- Same metric, multiple angles: "retention dropping" appears in cohort analysis, funnel analysis, AND anomaly detection → strong signal, high confidence
- Same user segment: multiple findings pointing to problems with mobile users, or enterprise users, or new signups
- Same feature: multiple insights connecting to one product area (checkout, onboarding, search)
- Same time period: multiple metrics changed at the same time → likely same root cause (deploy, external event, marketing campaign)
Pattern recognition example:
Finding 1 (Funnel Analysis): Checkout completion rate dropped 8% this week
Finding 2 (Anomaly Detection): "checkout_confirmation_viewed" event volume down 12%
Finding 3 (Retention Analysis): Users who completed checkout last week have lower D7 return rate
Finding 4 (Error Monitoring): POST /api/payments error rate up 23% this week
Pattern: These 4 findings point to the same root cause — payment flow degradation
This is a CRITICAL connected insight, not 4 separate findings.
4. Flag Time-Sensitive Findings
Some findings require immediate attention. Identify and escalate:
Criteria for time-sensitive flagging:
- Rapidly worsening metrics: Rate of change is increasing (acceleration, not just increase)
- New failure modes: Something that wasn't happening before suddenly started (regression)
- Revenue-impacting anomalies: Conversion or revenue metric is below trend by >5%
- Cascade risk: One finding that, if not addressed, is likely to get worse (error rate climbing)
Time-sensitivity classification:
URGENT (respond today):
- Conversion metric down >10% vs. trend
- New error pattern affecting >5% of users
- Revenue-impacting regression identified
SOON (address this sprint):
- Metric trending wrong direction for 3+ consecutive days
- New failure mode with moderate user impact
WATCH (monitor, no immediate action):
- Metric slightly below trend but stable
- Interesting correlation that needs further investigation
5. Package into Executive Summary
Consolidate all findings into a concise, action-oriented brief:
Structure the summary for different audiences:
For engineering: lead with regressions, error rates, and technical root causes
For product: lead with funnel changes, feature adoption, and user behavior shifts
For executive/leadership: lead with revenue impact, user count affected, and trend direction

MCP Tools
mcp__Amplitude__get_agent_results— retrieve completed AI agent analysis results from the target time window; provides the raw findings that this skill synthesizesmcp__Amplitude__get_feedback_insights— retrieve processed feedback insights that may complement the agent results with qualitative signals from user feedback
Key Concepts
- Agent result: A completed analysis produced by Amplitude's AI agents — may include anomaly detection, correlation analysis, funnel insights, or retention analysis
- Connected insight: Multiple separate agent findings that point to the same root cause — synthesizing these is the core value of this skill
- Time-sensitive finding: A finding that, if not acted on promptly, will likely worsen — identified by rate of change, not just magnitude
- Impact ranking: Prioritizing findings by their effect on revenue, engagement, and operational health — ensures the team focuses on what matters
- Pattern vs. noise: Agent analyses can surface many findings; distinguishing meaningful patterns from expected variation is the key skill
