About Scope

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.

    we've looked at 1M+ agent traces on claude, cursor, and codex and not only do they fail differently, but they also behave like entirely different species.

    We’ve signed at least one unicorn or decacorn per week since pivoting with almost zero online presence. Here are some of the things we did to get there: -Go through your network, and your network's network. Your first ten customers are probably through this. -Talk to A LOT
