PostHog AI: platform and chat UI

PostHog AI powers all AI features within the PostHog app. It is an AI agent that sits on top of the PostHog platform. As a result, there are multiple ways of working with PostHog AI.

Here's an overview of the different UIs for interacting with PostHog AI.

In-app chat

The primary dedicated interface is an in-app AI chat for conventional prompting and conversation-based flows.

When logged in, the PostHog AI chat is always available in the right-hand sidebar of the PostHog app. You can open it at any time by clicking the PostHog AI icon.

The in-app chat supports conversation history and features like context, commands, and memory.

Platform UI

PostHog AI shows up throughout the PostHog platform as inline or ambient UI elements, typically labelled with the icon, and embedded within other features.

These entrypoints or shortcuts enable you to trigger PostHog AI directly from the PostHog UI.

Website chat

PostHog AI is also accessible when logged out of the app and on the website, posthog.com. However, in this mode, it's limited to searching and answering questions about PostHog's documentation.

Future interfaces

We are working on adding more form factors to expand PostHog AI's capabilities. These may include:

  • Notebooks for deep research and reports
  • Background tasks and workflows
  • API calls
  • MCP tool calls

If you have any feedback or ideas, feel free to reach out to us on GitHub and open a feature request.
