ClearBrain
ClearBrain is a causal analytics platform that uses AI to differentiate between causation and correlation in user behavior. Their technology simulates A/B tests on historical data to identify the causal effect of user actions. The platform allows users to predict lift without A/B testing, forecast KPIs, and build audiences with high lift potential for activation across various channels. ClearBrain was acquired by Amplitude, Inc. in March 2020, integrating its self-serve causal technology into Amplitude's product analytics platform. The company is recognized for its patent-pending technology in generalized causal inference.
