@chessieowl @ycombinator @tryscope_app It’s extremely dependent on the use case tbh

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 This feels inevitable. I've been wondering who'd build analytics for the agent funnel first. Are breaks mainly at discovery or auth?

Scope (@tryscope_app) helps companies see when AI agents choose them, get stuck, or pick a competitor, and what to change to improve it. It runs real workflows across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar AI agents. Congrats on the launch, @anandPa94! ycombinator.com/launches/QK8-s…

@imraan @ycombinator @tryscope_app Yessir

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 agents are shipping but most teams are blind to what theyre actually doing. claude code + codex observability is the missing layer

@hanzi_li @ycombinator @tryscope_app They never tell you as you said They just change and adapt to what’s happening

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 this is such a weirdly useful category. agents are becoming another user segment now, except they get confused faster and never politely tell you why

@vitobotta @ycombinator @tryscope_app And you need a system of action to act on it

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 Agent experience monitoring is going to be a whole category I guess, because if AI agents start making purchasing decisions, you need analytics for that.

‼️🚨 BREAKING: A new npm supply-chain attack uses a dead-man's switch. The payload plants a watcher on your machine that nukes your home directory the second you revoke the GitHub token it stole from you. The compromise happened today, across 42 official tanstack npm packages, 84 malicious versions in total. tanstack/react-router alone pulls more than 12 million weekly downloads. The attacker forked TanStack's repository and pushed a single hidden commit. From there, they tricked TanStack's own release system into signing the malicious packages as if they were the real thing. To npm, and to anyone checking the cryptographic proof of origin (SLSA provenance), the poisoned versions looked 100% legitimate. Maintainer Tanner Linsley confirmed the whole team had 2FA enabled. It didn't matter. This is the first documented npm worm in history that ships with a valid, signed certificate of authenticity, the same one defenders rely on to know a package wasn't tampered with.

@yue8985 @ycombinator @tryscope_app And need to make sure the agent knows what to do with them

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 Docs, APIs, auth and onboarding all become part of the product surface.

@hanzi_li @ycombinator @tryscope_app Exactly what we’re seeing! And you don’t even know about it most of the time

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 this is the annoying real bit. agents look great on clean demos, then hit one weird repo or messy docs page and quietly choose the wrong path

@DataChaz @tryscope_app Thank you for the shoutout!

most companies think their product works great with agents. @tryscope_app runs the *actual* workflows and shows you the truth: > auth failures, doc confusion, competitor picks etc. eye-opening stuff 👀

@RoboFadi @ycombinator @tryscope_app Yes!

@GaurangAlat @ycombinator @tryscope_app Thank you!

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 Congratulations on the launch!

@AlperTheKing @ycombinator @tryscope_app Totally

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 Agent visibility is SEO moving from web crawlers to tool-use traces. The new ranking surface is whether Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can find the docs, run the workflow, avoid competitors and finish without human rescue.

@RaeAlisa_ @ycombinator @tryscope_app Thank you!

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 congrats team!!

@trishaepan @ycombinator @tryscope_app Thank you!

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 congrats on the launch!!

@Strakyo @ycombinator @tryscope_app You got it

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 New category forming fast: products optimized for humans now need a second UX for agents. If an agent can't discover, choose, and recover in your flow, you're invisible to a whole new buyer.

@nijokestu @ycombinator @tryscope_app Exactly

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 This feels foundational. AI observability is going to matter a lot more than people think.

@3dblurss @ycombinator @tryscope_app 👀

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 guy is craackedd @anandPa94

@Oldnoob007 @ycombinator @tryscope_app Please do so!

@anandPa94 @ycombinator @tryscope_app Oh okk...might connect with you on this topic too!

@Strakyo @ycombinator @tryscope_app The agent experience is the new category

@ycombinator @tryscope_app @anandPa94 Agent SEO is going to become a real category. When buyers delegate discovery to agents, can humans find you? stops being the only question.
