"The startup was co-founded by Beykpour, now Macroscope CEO, in July 2023, along with childhood friend Joe Bernstein, also previously of Periscope and their prior enterprise startup, Terriblyclever, which was sold to Blackboard in 2009. They're joined by co-founder Rob Bishop, who sold his computer vision and machine learning company, Magic Pony Technology, to Twitter in 2016."
"The company describes its product as an "AI-powered understanding engine" that's designed to save engineers time. Today, engineers use a variety of tools to keep track of work, like JIRA, Linear, and spreadsheets, and spend too much time in meetings instead of building, Beykpour says. Macroscope is designed to fix this."
""I feel like I lived this pain...at every company I worked at, whether it was the startups that we built ourselves, or whether it was enormous public companies like Twitter, we sort of lived this problem the hard way," Beykpour told TechCrunch in an interview."
""Trying to get a sense for what everyone was doing, especially when you have an organization like Twitter with thousands of engineers, it was literally most of my job - and my least favorite part of my job as the head of product at Twitter," he said."
Macroscope is an AI platform that summarizes codebase changes, surfaces relevant updates, and catches bugs to reduce manual tracking for engineering teams. The product connects via a GitHub app to access repositories and can optionally integrate with Slack, Linear, and JIRA for additional context. The platform aims to cut down on meetings and fragmented tooling by automatically analyzing code and work streams. Macroscope was co-founded in July 2023 by Kayvon Beykpour, Joe Bernstein, and Rob Bishop, who bring previous exits with Periscope, Terriblyclever, and Magic Pony Technology to the venture.
