Macroscope

the AI Code Reviewer you won't turn off

[Macroscope @Macroscope]

Ask Macroscope Anything (AMA) is now Macroscope Agent, and it got a big upgrade today:

→ 6 new integrations (Sentry, Amplitude, GCP Logging, GitHub API, image gen, and MCP)
→ Event-driven automations triggered by commits and PRs
→ Webhook delivery + an API

[Kayvon Beykpour @kayvz]

made a video demoing a bunch of @Macroscope's features:

- get an automated, real-time view of your product development — how is the product changing, where is engineering focus allocated. an executive summary of product changes based purely on codebase activity and context from @linear /@Jira.

- understand your engineering team's output in aggregate and broken down by individual IC. we estimate coding time per commit so you can see the multiplicative effect of AI tools. beyond token spend, see how much code is actually getting landed across your devs and your autonomous agents (@cursor_ai, @DevinAI, etc).

- our Agent acts as an always-on teammate in Slack — ask questions about your codebase, product, or team activity. it can also take actions: fix bugs, create PRs, generate architecture diagrams, pull analytics from PostHog, query BigQuery, and more. native integrations with Linear, Sentry, LaunchDarkly, PostHog, GCP, and the MCP ecosystem.

- set up Macros to automate SDLC chores and workflows: one of ours scans Google Cloud production logs daily, clusters similar issues, identifies root causes, creates PRs with fixes, and tags the relevant engineer. all on autopilot.

- subscribe Slack channels to get automatic commit and PR summaries. one slash command and you've got a real-time feed of what's shipping — with plain-English summaries legible to anyone, not just engineers.

Check Run Agents are now live for all customers. Learn more about how they work below and reply letting us know how your team is using them!

[Kayvon Beykpour @kayvz]

Check Run Agents, now available in @Macroscope. we made a video to show you how it works!

these are super flexible agents you control that let you enforce your team's coding conventions, workflows, and compliance checks during code review. just define in markdown and include trigger rules, model choice/reasoning levels, and tool access (including any 3rd party integrations and MCP servers you've already connected to macroscope)-- then the agent spawns as a Check in GitHub.

we've been delighted by the creativity and complexity of what our customers have been doing with check run agents: enforcing style conventions, coordinating multistep db migration workflows, ensuring public-facing docs are updated in sync with code changes, and more.

Macroscope Agent reacts to events across your workflow and takes action autonomously.

In this demo, Agent:
→ Pulls PostHog data to answer product questions in seconds
→ Auto-updates docs and enforces feature flag rules when PRs open
→ Catches a Sentry error, traces the root cause, and opens a fix PR with tests

I filed a minor bug with @Macroscope at 9 am London time. By 3 pm London time (7 am SF time!) @kayvz personally responded and was fixing it.

Founder mode.

[Sonith @_sonith]

My conversation with @kayvz, co-founder of Macroscope and Periscope.

We talk about selling for $120M pre-launch to @dickc at Twitter, turning down @elonmusk, getting trolled by Kobe Bryant and much more.

His family immigrated to the Bay Area from Iran and he grew up an aspiring filmmaker. With a push from his mom, however, he toured and eventually got admitted to Stanford.

This led to a series of software startups with his best friends and eventual acquisitions from Blackboard and Twitter. He led product there and eventually (graciously) turned down Elon to co-found Macroscope.

Kayvon is an incredible storyteller, family man, & product mind. And while his accomplishments are many, he's an even better person.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

when we launched @Macroscope, our "Ask Macroscope Anything" feature was a chatbot that answered questions about your codebase.

6 months later: it now generates code, creates PRs, queries your production logs, and can automatically react to events across your entire stack. It’s not just a chatbot anymore.

so we're renaming it Agent, and it's getting a big upgrade today:

Some use cases we love internally:

→ Customer files an issue in Pylon. Agent root-causes using the codebase, drafts fix PRs if possible or tracks the issue in Linear.
→ Morning Macro automation queries GCP logs, clusters the top errors, opens PRs.
→ Sentry alert hits Slack. Agent reads the Sentry details, researches the codebase to understand the bug, pushes a fix.

Agent now has an API. Send a POST with a query and where you want the answer. Agent runs async and delivers to Slack channel, a thread, or a custom webhook.

Connecting any workflow: CI pipelines, incident tooling, internal apps. If it can make an HTTP request, it can use Agent.

Today, we’re announcing that Macroscope is shifting to usage-based pricing. Coding agents are transforming coding output drastically, and seats are no longer representative of how much code we process and review. Across our customers in the last 3 months, each dev “seat” on avg produced:

→ 1.8x more commits
→ 1.9x more code reviews
→ 1.7x larger avg reviews

[Macroscope @Macroscope]

This new pricing model is effective for all new customers today, and comes with $100 of free credits so you can try @Macroscope.

For our current customers: you’ll stay on the seat-based plan until April 27, then auto-transition to usage-based pricing. We hope this gives you time to observe usage patterns and configure spending controls. Please reach out if you have any questions.
