Roadmap
Goals
Q2 2026 Objectives
This quarter we're making experiments work great with AI agents, removing feature flag friction, and improving the results experience.
AI
API layer
Marcel Poelker
Marcel Poelker
Get the API layer ready for AI agents. All experiment operations should be covered, well tested and work the same way whether the caller is our frontend or an agent.
Skills
Marcel Poelker
Marcel Poelker
Create experiment skills so PostHog AI knows how to use our MCP tools effectively.
MCP
Rodrigo Iloro
Rodrigo Iloro
External callers like PostHog Code or any other agent can connect via MCP and run experiment operations reliably.
Signals
Juraj Majerik
Juraj Majerik
Ship our first signal - notifying users when an experiment reaches significance.
Feature flags
Anders Asheim Hennum
Anders Asheim Hennum
Make it possible to run multiple Experiments per Feature Flag. Rollout configurations will be more flexible and it will be easier to understand how Feature Flags and Experiments are related.
Query performance
Juraj Majerik
Juraj Majerik
Extend precomputation to the main subquery for all metric types. Make precomputation observable - see where it kicked in, how it ran and compare results against direct-scan queries.
Loading experience
Rodrigo Iloro
Rodrigo Iloro
Loading is painful for our high-volume users. Consolidate query fetching, only re-query when the user asks and set better expectations around loading states.
Handbook
What this team does
We build PostHog's experimentation platform, allowing users run A/B tests and feature experiments easily in their apps. We help teams validate ideas, measure impact, and make informed decisions quickly and confidently.
Some of the things we're working on:
- Experiments UI – an interface for setting up, managing, and analyzing experiments in PostHog.
- Experimentation API – backend services that handle experiment creation, user assignment, and result analysis.
- Statistical analysis – implementing statistical methods to ensure accurate interpretation of results.
- Documentation – writing documentation and tutorials to help users get the most out of Experiments.
User personas
Assessing customer fit
Use this guide to determine if a prospect's use case is a good fit for Experiments now, in the future, or at all.
Engineers (product, growth, software, etc.)
✅ Fully supported now
They get the most value since they can run experiments end-to-end, which allows them to test ideas quickly without coordination overhead.
Best fit: Teams where engineers can run experiments directly.
Product Managers
✅ Fully supported now
They use PostHog to decide what to test, monitor experiment results, and make data-driven decisions. While they typically need an engineer to implement the test, they can independently analyze results using our charts, statistical analysis, and AI summaries.
Best fit: PMs who work with engineers for implementation but want to independently analyze results.
Data Scientists/Analysts
⏳ Growing support → Full support planned (2026)
What works today: Frequentist and bayesian analysis, delta charts, timeseries, funnel breakdowns
Coming soon: Advanced statistical methods (CUPED, variance reduction techniques, multilayer experiments) - planned for 2026
Is this customer a fit?
- ✅ Yes, if they need standard statistical analysis
- ⏳ Wait or set expectations if they require advanced methods like CUPED (coming 2026)
Growth/Marketing teams
⏳ Limited support → Full support planned (further out)
What works today: Can run experiments on messaging, landing pages, campaigns - but require engineering help for implementation
Coming later: AI-powered visual editor will enable independent experiment setup without engineering (further out - requires mature code generation)
Is this customer a fit?
- ✅ Yes, if they have dedicated engineering resources
- ⏳ Wait if they need no-code/independent setup (AI editor coming but no firm timeline)
Designers
⏳ Limited support → Full support planned (further out)
What works today: Can implement simple experiments (copy changes, styling updates) independently; need engineering for complex components
Coming later: AI-powered visual editor will enable more complex implementations (further out - requires mature code generation)
Is this customer a fit?
- ✅ Yes, if simple UI experiments or they have engineering support
- ⏳ Wait if they need to independently implement complex UI changes (AI editor coming but no firm timeline)
