## What Culture Amp sells

Culture Amp sells employee engagement surveys (Engage) and performance management (Perform), and says it is 'Trusted by 6,000+ companies'. People teams and managers buy it. Its AI Coach reads survey results and surfaces the top actions, structures reviews and role-plays hard conversations. Since August 2026 an MCP server puts engagement and performance insights inside ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools. It bought people analytics firm Orgnostic in 2024 to combine people data from other HR systems with survey data. [1][2][4][5]

**Its AI.** AI Coach runs across Engage and Perform: it 'cuts survey analysis time from days to minutes, instantly surfacing the top 3-5 actions' and offers 'guided, confidential AI-powered role play'. Culture Amp's MCP server lets leaders query its insights, built on '1.6 billion organizational data points', from ChatGPT and Claude. [2]

The AI capabilities it sells today, as the map reads its site: AI analytics, assistant and MCP and agent APIs [2].
