The Quiet War Over Who Names Your Events
Segment and Amplitude usually run side by side, not head to head. The real fight is quieter - which one gets to decide what an event is called before the whole company builds dashboards on top of it.

Agnost AI
Agnost AI is a Y Combinator (S26) startup building product analytics for teams shipping conversational AI agents.

It installs in three lines of code or via an OpenTelemetry exporter, works with any LLM and framework, and processes over a million events a day for customers including Google, Exa, and Corgi.
