  • Founded in 2023 by Kayvon Beykpour, Joe Bernstein, and Rob Bishop, the company has 17 employees based in San Francisco.
  • Macroscope integrates with GitHub and project tools from Atlassian and Linear and connects to models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI to analyze and propose code changes.
