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

Anthropic’s new Fable 5 model is now available as a choice on Macroscope’s Check Run Agents. In our early testing, Fable’s bug detection is exceptional (the highest of any model we’ve tested), though it runs quite hot on latency and cost relative to our current production code review pipeline. We haven’t switched it on as the default model for our pipeline, but for those who prefer to maximize recall (bug detection) it’s a trivial switch with Check Run Agents :)

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!

@kayvz at @macroscope on avoiding the false positives that kill code review products, by grounding agents in up-to-date web context.

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.

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!

We discuss: - What @Macroscope is & why we built it - Why AI code review is already better than humans at finding bugs - The Periscope story: 0 to 1M users in a week & getting acquired by Twitter Plus, agent obsession mode, replacing Retool in 2 hours with Claude Code, why big companies need to be jolted, and leadership advice from Bret Taylor 0:00 Intro 0:18 What is Macroscope 3:53 From Periscope to Macroscope — the founding story 9:29 AI code review & building trust 13:48 When does human code review end? 18:43 Building apps with AI in hours 20:31 Agent obsession mode & OpenClaw 22:28 Replacing a year of Retool with a 2-hour Claude Code session 25:14 AI's impact on engineering teams & layoffs 29:10 Why big companies need to be jolted 33:03 The Periscope story — live streaming, hearts & Twitter 37:03 Integrating Periscope into Twitter & building Spaces 41:28 Best leadership advice

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:
