1. What fundamental change does AI introduce to the process of asking questions about product data?

   1. It allows questions to be asked in any language without translation tools
   2. It automatically fixes any data quality issues before generating answers
   3. It eliminates the need for data analysts entirely by making all decisions automatically
   4. It speeds up the process from question to answer but still requires human verification

2. A product analytics AI tool reports that churn increased 15% and attributes it to a recent UI change. What should a creator do next?

   1. Remove the AI feature from the analytics platform to prevent false alerts
   2. Treat it as a testable hypothesis and investigate further before taking action
   3. Ignore the insight since AI cannot be trusted at all
   4. Accept the AI's conclusion and immediately roll back the UI change

3. Which task is beyond AI's current capabilities in product analytics platforms?

   1. Detecting unusual patterns in user behavior data
   2. Generating automatic summaries of user cohorts
   3. Translating natural-language questions into chart queries
   4. Defining what success means for a specific product

4. An AI analytics tool generates a report showing revenue increased, but the underlying data contains duplicate transactions. What will likely happen?

   1. The AI will refuse to generate any report until data is cleaned
   2. The AI will flag the duplicates as a data quality issue
   3. The AI will automatically detect and correct the duplicate transactions
   4. The AI will likely report the incorrect revenue figure without catching the issue

5. What does it mean to evaluate NL-query accuracy when comparing AI analytics platforms?

   1. How quickly the platform returns results to users
   2. How accurately the AI interprets a plain-English question into the correct data query
   3. How many users can simultaneously ask questions
   4. How many different chart types the platform can generate

6. Which capability is specifically mentioned as something AI does well in product analytics?

   1. Automatically determining which metrics are most important for business
   2. Eliminating the need for any data visualization expertise
   3. Generating complete product strategies based on data trends
   4. Providing rough root-cause hypotheses when surfacing anomalies

7. Why is an audit trail important when using AI insights in product analytics?

   1. It provides a record of what AI suggested so decisions can be reviewed later
   2. It allows teams to charge different users for AI feature usage
   3. It automatically optimizes query performance over time
   4. It encrypts all data so competitors cannot see analytics

8. A creator wants to compare Amplitude, Mixpanel, and PostHog on their AI features. What four criteria should they use?

   1. NL-query accuracy, anomaly precision/recall, exportability, and audit trail
   2. Price, user interface color scheme, mobile app availability, and company size
   3. Number of integrations, API rate limits, data retention period, and customer support hours
   4. Chart types supported, data import speed, user roles, and email notification frequency

9. What does it mean to treat an AI-generated insight as a hypothesis rather than a conclusion?

   1. The insight should be automatically converted into a product feature
   2. The insight should be ignored unless multiple AI tools agree
   3. The insight can only be used if it matches the team's existing beliefs
   4. The insight needs additional evidence and testing before acting on it

10. Which of the following is NOT a capability AI currently provides in product analytics platforms?

    1. Summarizing user cohorts automatically
    2. Detecting anomalies in user behavior patterns
    3. Translating questions in Spanish into chart queries
    4. Defining business objectives for a product

11. What does exportability refer to in the context of AI analytics features?

    1. The amount of data storage available
    2. The ability to share AI-generated insights with external stakeholders in usable formats
    3. The speed at which data can be uploaded to the platform
    4. The number of user accounts that can be created

12. When an AI analytics tool surfaces an anomaly, what additional information does it typically provide?

    1. A complete root-cause analysis with statistical certainty
    2. A rough hypothesis about potential causes
    3. A guaranteed fix that will resolve the issue
    4. A prediction of future anomalies

13. A creator notices that an AI tool's natural-language query produced a bar chart when they expected a line chart. What might have happened?

    1. The platform does not support line charts for that data type
    2. The AI misinterpreted the type of comparison the user wanted
    3. The user exceeded the query limit and got a default chart
    4. The AI intentionally chose the worse visualization to confuse the user

14. What is the relationship between anomaly precision and anomaly recall in AI analytics?

    1. They only apply to batch processing, not real-time analytics
    2. They are the same metric measured differently
    3. Precision measures false positives, recall measures false negatives
    4. Precision is more important than recall for all use cases

15. Why might an AI analytics platform generate a misleading insight about user behavior?

    1. The AI requires all users to have PhD degrees
    2. The AI intentionally provides false information to users
    3. The underlying data contains quality issues that the AI cannot detect
    4. The platform is too expensive to run accurate analysis
