Sorry I'm just seeing this now -- but we actually do have a full interactive demo of the product with pre-populated data, just like you suggested! There are CTAs to try the demo all over the website if you're using it on a desktop/laptop. Were you looking at the site on mobile? (https://amplitude.com/)

So that is exactly what I was hoping to see, but the email gate prevented me from moving forward. I entered "utc@ftc.gov" and it worked though. Nice product! Wish I could have seen the growth discovery beta in there. Definitely a different offering than Looker, but still has some nice stuff.

Back to my previous point...are you A/B testing the email gate on demo? You don't tell me how my email will be used, and my only assumption is that it is to add me to some drip mailing list I have no interest in, get your newsletter which I have no interest in, get contacted by a sales person which I have no interest in at that point, etc. All of that leads to me bouncing without seeing how awesome your product is.

I obviously recognize I might be in the minority hence my question about testing, and if the numbers make sense they make sense. Just my $.02 as someone that would likely be a highly-qualified lead and has seen a million sites/products like this.

Agreed, an email gate is something that we'll be testing a lot in the future. For now- you can go directly to amplitude.com/demo and you can get around the email gate. Hope that's helpful!

Also- around the first version of growth discovery engine, it spit out a bunch of precomputed groups of users with no input and ranked them by which ones were most correlated with retention. We beta tested it with many of our existing customers who were looking for functionality like this and they all didn't like how magical it was. I know, I was surprised too, who doesn't like automation!
