Meet Macroscope: an AI tool for understanding your code base, fixing bugs

SMRTR summary

Former Periscope founders launched Macroscope, an AI tool that helps developers understand codebases, catch bugs, and summarize changes without excessive meetings. The system integrates with GitHub and other tools to analyze code using Abstract Syntax Tree technology and LLMs, allowing both engineers and non-technical leaders to ask natural language questions about development progress. Priced at $30 per developer monthly, Macroscope has raised $40 million and claims to catch 5% more bugs than competing tools.
