Do coding agents recommend Amplitude?
Amplitude was chosen in 4% of 359 judged product analytics sessions, ranking fourth. Measured with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
Amplitude was chosen in 4% of 359 judged product analytics sessions, ranking fourth. It was also raised as a candidate in 215 further sessions without being chosen.
This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in product analytics inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about Amplitude. What an agent actually installed.

By agent
With 14 wins spread across three agents, the rates below are small numbers and a difference between them is not yet a finding. They are here because the direction is worth knowing, not because the gap is established.
| Agent | Sessions | Chose Amplitude | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | 120 | 3 | 3% |
| Codex | 120 | 11 | 9% |
| Cursor | 119 | 0 | 0% |
By who was asking
Amplitude performs similarly across the four kinds of buyer, from 0% to 8%. That is unusual: the category leader changed with the persona in 14 of the 18 categories we measured.
| Who is asking | Sessions | Chose Amplitude | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vibe coder | 36 | 0 | 0% |
| Junior developer | 144 | 1 | 1% |
| Senior engineer | 143 | 11 | 8% |
| Enterprise team | 36 | 2 | 6% |

What this means
This is an integration problem, not a presence problem. Agents raised Amplitude in 215 sessions and chose it in 14, so it reaches the shortlist and then loses. Something at the last step is costing the session, and in our data that is usually a quickstart that does not run when pasted, documentation describing an interface that changed, or a package name that does not match the product name.
That is the cheaper of the two problems to have. The reason is written down in each losing transcript.
Where these numbers come from
The 359 sessions in product analytics are part of a published set of 5,292, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: how we measured this.
Every product analytics run can be replayed on the board.
If you work on Amplitude: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts.

Common questions
Do coding agents recommend Amplitude?
Yes. Amplitude was chosen in 14 of the 359 judged sessions in product analytics, a 4% install share, ranking fourth in its category.
Does Claude Code recommend Amplitude?
In 3 of the 120 sessions in product analytics run with Claude Code, which is 3%.
Do different coding agents treat Amplitude differently?
Not much. The three agents chose it at similar rates, between 0% and 9% of their runs.
How was this measured?
Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 51 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind.
How often is Amplitude considered but not chosen?
It was raised as a candidate in 215 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 14. That is a 6% conversion from considered to chosen.
Where this comes from
Armature ran 5,292 judged sessions with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor inside 51 realistic codebases, and published every run. The numbers on this page come from that work.
