Instead of drowning in endless meetings and spreadsheets, Macroscope helps engineers focus on what really matters: building. It analyzes changes, summarizes updates, and flags bugs before they spiral into bigger problems.
A Familiar Team with a New Mission
The startup is led by Kayvon Beykpour, former Twitter head of product and co-founder of Periscope. He teamed up with longtime collaborator Joe Bernstein and Rob Bishop, who previously sold Magic Pony Technology to Twitter. Their shared vision: build the AI-powered tool they wish they’d had when scaling their earlier companies.
Why Developers Need Macroscope
Engineering teams today juggle tools like JIRA, Linear, and countless spreadsheets. While helpful, these systems often create more overhead than efficiency. Macroscope positions itself as an “AI-powered understanding engine” that saves developers time and cuts down on repetitive workflows.
By acting as both a codebase translator and bug catcher, it reduces friction between product leaders and engineering teams. For startups and enterprises alike, this could mean faster shipping cycles and fewer late-night debugging marathons.
The Bigger Picture
AI has already transformed how we write, search, and communicate. With Macroscope, the same intelligence is now being applied to codebases. Developers no longer need to waste hours untangling complex updates or waiting for someone to explain changes in a stand-up meeting.
This tool doesn’t just make work easier — it could reshape how teams approach collaboration in software development.
