Frequently asked questions
How do AI agents use Segment?+
Agents send track and identify calls to record user actions and profile data. This data flows to connected destinations (analytics, marketing, CRM) automatically.
Should agents track their own actions?+

Can Segment data be used by AI agents?+
Yes. Use Segment Profiles API to query user traits and event history. This gives agents context about users when making decisions.
