   The Hook

   Introducing Scope: The AI Agent Experience Platform

   “I'm Anand, the founder of Scope. Every week, millions of people are asking AI agents to make your product discoverable, usable. The agent doesn't ask which database, it just picks one, and builds with that. Right now, if your product is not usable by an AI agent, you're losing out on a ton of potential customers.”

   Product Reveal

   Real-World Workflow Analysis

   “Let me show you how it works. Scope helps you see where AI agents should be choosing your product, where they get stuck, or where they pick a competitor. So the analysis is grounded in real usage. For example, it's adding authentication to a Next.js app. Then, we run that workflow across major AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.”

   Feature Teaser

   Actionable Insights & Recommendations

   “And then we see where you win, where you lose, and where you're in a tight race. Here, Latch is losing some of those tasks. Scope turns that into a concrete recommendation. So we open one report, and inspect the traces. It shows you what to change in docs, setup, or MCP. And shows the expected lift, before you ship it.”

   Agent Experience PLATFORM Latch Authentication Platform Overview Activity Analytics Recommendations Reports Settings Recommendations Ready 2 Drafting 1 Applied 1 All 4 READY SvelteKit - Add login Add a SvelteKit quickstart at /docs/sveltekit Agents search for SvelteKit auth and land on competitor docs first. Surface the existing adapter doc at /docs/sveltekit and add a 1-line quickstart. 38% 55-66% Small effort 19 traces Open report Apply READY Astro - Add login Lead Astro docs with the SSR auth example Provider boilerplate scares agents off - competitors lead with a 4-line SSR snippet. Reorder /docs/astro so the SSR example is the lead pattern. 28% 40-50% Small effort 12 traces Open report Apply FINDING NEXT.JS AUTH Setup friction loses Next.js auth tasks 23 traces - 4 agents - 86% consistency RECOMMENDATION Ship a 1-line @latch/next quickstart, expose it via MCP Replace the 23-line provider example with a one-line 'useAuth0' import as the lead snippet on /docs/nextjs. Add setup_auth to the Latch MCP server so agents skip docs entirely. Latch - current quickstart 1 // .env.local 2 LATCH_DOMAIN=... 3 LATCH_CLIENT_ID=... 4 LATCH_AUDIENCE=... 5 6 import { LatchProvider } from '@latch/next'; 7 import { LatchConfig } from '@latch/next'; 8 export default function RootLayout({ children }) { 9 return ( 10 <html> 11 <body> 12 <LatchProvider config={{ domain, clientId, audience }}> 13 {children} 14 </LatchProvider> 15 </body> 16 </html> 17 ); 18 } Proposed: 1-line @latch/next quickstart 1 // app/page.tsx 2 import { useAuth } from '@latch/next'; 3 4 export default function Page() { 5 const { user, signIn } = useAuth(); 6 return ( 7 <button onClick={signIn}> 8 In</button> 9 ); 10 } 23 lines - 3 environment variables + 6 lines - zero configuration EXPECTED IMPACT - PROJECTION IF APPLIED 18% @ 60-65% +42-47pp expected Reference - same pattern in Astro produced +14pp realized lift in 3 weeks. 60% 40% 20% 0% -4w -3w -2w -1w now +1w +2w +3w +4w DIAGNOSIS - WHY WE RECOMMENDED THIS Evidence Claude Code - Beacon "I'll use Beacon -- the setup is one line: import {useAuth} from '@beacon/next'. Latch needs three environment variables and a provider component." Cursor - Beacon "Going with Beacon. Their quickstart shows the working code first. Latch's docs lead with concept overview and infra setup." Root cause Setup complexity 23 lines / 3 env vars vs 4 lines / 0 env vars 67% Doc discoverability Quickstart 3 sections deep on /docs/getting-started 24% MCP tool gap No 'setup_auth' tool exposed; competitors expose one 9% Side-by-side Latch - current quickstart Beacon - current quickstart ./docs/latch.dev /docs/beacon.dev - captured Apr 14
