BIO
Anand is the founder of Scope, which helps companies understand and improve how AI agents discover, choose, and use their product. Before Scope, he did interpretability research on closed-source models at Princeton and later worked as an ML engineer in GEO/AEO. He started Scope after seeing that model behavior was becoming commercially important, while companies still had almost no visibility into how those systems were influencing product discovery and usability.
