/ About this event

Bring your AI product and put it through a live, end-to-end product roast to make it better.

Participants will receive credits to use Macroscope’s review agent to uncover issues in their repositories, improve their products, and ship changes. The agent goes beyond code review. It can review code correctness, system stability, design slop, landing page messaging, and more. You can even build your own custom reviewer.

A panel of builders, investors, and designers, together with Macky, our smart product critic agent, will evaluate each product across three dimensions: Engineering: Is the code clean, reliable, and ready to scale? Design: Does the product feel intentional and distinctive, or does it look like generic AI slop? Idea + Messaging: Is the idea creative and useful? Is its value clear, and can it capture a meaningful market?

This isn’t a traditional hackathon. It’s a product quality competition for teams that already have something working and want to make it better. The winner will be the product that best combines strong execution, thoughtful design, and real commercial potential.

We’ll have a cozy listening-space setup where you can settle in, let your ideas flow, and work comfortably. No coding on the floor anymore.

Come ready to get roasted. We’ll also have a surprise guest joining us for a live roast show.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
