Macroscope
FreemiumAI agent for codebase understanding, PR review, and engineering insights.
About Macroscope
Macroscope is an AI agent designed to understand your codebase, summarize activity, catch bugs, answer questions about product development, and automatically review Pull Requests (PRs). It provides automatic analysis of product development, helping engineering teams gain actionable insights, save time, and enhance productivity. Macroscope generates accurate commit summaries, schedules custom team summaries, offers real-time project overviews, and performs high-signal bug detection and fixing through Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) analysis. It integrates seamlessly with GitHub, Jira/Linear, and Slack to provide comprehensive insights and support across the development workflow.
How to Use

- Connect GitHub: Install the GitHub app to automatically start summarizing commits and pull requests, identifying projects, providing productivity statistics, and performing code review on PRs.
- Connect Jira / Linear: Integrate with your ticketing system (Jira or Linear) to enrich Macroscope's understanding of why work is happening and what tasks remain. This step is optional.
- Connect Slack: Ask any questions directly in Slack to receive answers grounded in your codebase, git log, PRs, and issue tracking system.
