What Scope does

Scope is the system companies use to measure and improve how agents discover, interact and use their product. As more products gets used through AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar agents, agents are starting to influence which tools get chosen, how they get set up, and whether they keep getting used. Most companies still cannot see that process clearly. We run real workflows across agents and show teams when the agent picks them versus a competitor, where it breaks, where docs or product surfaces confuse the agent, and what to change to get better results and a better agent experience. I started Scope after working on interpretability research for closed-source models at Princeton and later as an ML engineer in GEO/AEO. I kept seeing the same pattern: these systems were shaping real product discovery and usage, but companies had very little visibility into what the model was actually doing. We are starting with products that agents can directly interact with, especially APIs, infra products, CLIs, and MCP servers.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

The infra layer for AI agent experience.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a system that runs real workflows through AI agents interacting with products. It lets companies see when agents pick their tools versus competitors, where those interactions break, and what parts of the product or docs confuse the agents. This helps them improve how AI agents discover, configure, and use their products.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and where most AI infrastructure and SaaS companies are based. Being here lets us talk directly to early users and experts in this space.
