The founders who previously sold their livestreaming video startup Periscope to Twitter are back with a new startup — and no surprise, it’s an AI-focused company this time around.
On Wednesday, former Twitter head of product Kayvon Beykpour announced the launch of Macroscope , an AI system aimed at developers and product leaders that summarizes updates to a codebase and catches bugs, among other things.
The startup was co-founded by Beykpour, now Macroscope CEO, in July 2023, along with childhood friend Joe Bernstein , also previously of Periscope and their prior enterprise startup, Terriblyclever, which was sold to Blackboard in 2009. They’re joined by co-founder Rob Bishop , who sold his computer vision and machine learning company, Magic Pony Technology, to Twitter in 2016
