Macroscope

Macroscope is a programming efficiency tool for the service R&D team. It received a US$30 million Series A financing and has been publicly launched. The core functions revolve around code management and R&D process optimization, build a knowledge graph and integrate a multi-tool ecosystem by analyzing the code base, solving the pain points of engineers' non-development work burden and managers' difficulty in mastering R&D progress. Its technical advantage lies in the fact that multi-model collaboration (such as OpenAI o4-mini-high combined with Anthropic Opus 4) ensures the accuracy of code review, and is isolated and encrypted in customer data, compliant with SOC 2 Type II compliance, and promises not to use customer code to train models. Pricing is divided into Teams (US$30/developer/month, at least 5 seats) and Enterprise (customized pricing) packages, which are positioned as small and medium-sized R&D teams and large enterprises with customization needs, helping the team focus on core development and improve overall R&D efficiency.

Demand population:

"The target audience is the R&D team manager and engineer. For managers, the tool provides actionable insights based on the code base, so that the R&D resource allocation, project progress and core function progress can be understood in real time without interfering with the engineer, and improve R&D transparency; for engineers, it can reduce non-development work such as PR description writing and Commit summary, and get accurate prompts during code review, reducing technical understanding costs (such as explaining the reasons for JWT certification switching), allowing them to focus on core development tasks and improve personal work efficiency."

Example of usage scenarios:

Ephemera (XMTP developer) use: The entire team uses tools to reduce reporting work, engineers focus on development, and CEOs can grasp R&D progress in real time without interfering with members, and improve overall collaboration efficiency.

Particle team uses: tools are like senior technical leaders, which can answer code-related questions in real time (such as code review model selection), helping the team focus on function delivery and reducing process communication costs.

Class.com product development team uses: as a key time-saving tool, which helps quickly pass code review feedback, accurately locate problems, and organize project plans, fill document gaps and accelerate product development.

Product Features:

Intelligent code analysis and bug prevention: parse code base AST to build dynamic knowledge graphs, detect race conditions and other problems, and provide repair solutions, support PR automated audit and description generation, and reduce false positive rates.

Summary of R&D activities: Automatic classification code submission, summarize functional changes in PR (such as migrating certification services to TS), presenting technical details, and saving engineers' time to manually report.

R&D progress and resource visualization: Display the project focus distribution (such as the proportion of collaborative editor development) according to the sprint cycle, count the encoding time of core contributors, and help managers master manpower investment.

Multi-tool ecological integration: connect GitHub, Jira/Linear, and Slack within 30 seconds to realize code information query, task context association, and real-time synchronization of R&D information without changing existing work habits.

Weekly results report: Automatically summarize the delivered functions (such as repairing data backfill process) of team members to clarify project progress and facilitate managers to track the completion of targets.

Data security guarantee: Customer code architecture is isolated, employees have no right to access, data storage and transmission are encrypted, comply with compliance standards, and ensure intellectual property security.

Tutorials for use:

1. Visit the official product website https://Macroscope.com/, register an account and select the corresponding package (Teams or Enterprise). Teams package requires at least 5 seats, and Enterprise needs to be customized.

2. After completing the package subscription, enter the tool background, select the tools you want to connect to in the integration settings (such as GitHub, Slack), complete the configuration within 30 seconds, and establish data association between tools.

3. When an engineer submits code or creates a PR, the tool automatically starts the analysis to generate a PR description and problem detection report. The engineer can view repair suggestions and optimize the code.

4. Managers enter the progress visualization module, select the target sprint cycle, view the project focus distribution, core contributor working hours and other data, and master R&D resources and project progress.

5. Through the Slack docking function, team members directly query code base problems in Slack and receive weekly results report notifications to achieve real-time synchronization and collaboration of R&D information.
