Built in the open updated Jul 23, 2026
Changelog
What's new at HyperScale.
The system is alive: built in the open, shipping continuously. This page tells the story since the first commit, eight tools rebuilt agentic-first along the way. Scroll back far enough and you reach the beginning.
July 2026
Production month: agents make real ads, launch them, and grade what they learn.

In public
The blog is live
hyperscale.net/blog opens with three pieces: the new bottleneck (you can now produce thousands of creatives; you can’t test thousands of creatives), a technical read on why agentic creative production wins the generative-retrieval era (GR4AD, GEM, Andromeda), and a step-by-step web-to-app setup guide for creative-level Meta signal on your own domain, with the MMP you already run.

Milestone
Eight for eight
The homepage now shows the whole stack: @hyperscaler, Brief, App footage, Studio, Radar, X-ray, Creative Analytics, Launch pad. Eight tools growth teams pay $3,000+ a month for, rebuilt from scratch for HyperScale agents to operate directly, three months after the first commit. Seven are live in the loop; the eighth, App footage, ships this week. Not integrations: rebuilds. The subscriptions were never the product; the operator was.

Radar goes public: the apps database
Radar watches the winning Meta ads of top subscription apps for the loop, and it is the one tool we opened to everyone: its x-ray is now public at hyperscale.net/apps: 41 apps and 3,700+ winning ads analyzed at launch, with the personas the ads speak to, format splits, and customer voice on a page per app. Refreshed weekly, open corpus, growing toward every subscription app that advertises.

Agent capability
Beliefs graded with confidence intervals
Everything your account has learned is now graded statistically, never by vibes: each creative angle and each buyer carries a conviction grade, from “Strong edge ×3.6” to an honest “No edge yet”, computed with Wilson confidence intervals against your account’s own top-quartile base rate. Every ad is judged once, with complete evidence, and judgments are final. The next round of tests is a portfolio minted against these beliefs: exploit what’s proven, explore what’s plausible, keep a wildcard.

In the lab in testing
Creator-led production
The loop will hire creators, too. The same reasoning that briefs the AI studio scouts TikTok creators already talking to your buyers: it scores the fit, sets the fee, and writes a DM that references their actual videos. You approve the deal; a real phone sends the DM, and the footage lands in the same review deck as every other ad. The pipeline is built and in testing. HyperScale launches 100% agentic, and creator-led production joins the loop after launch.
-
The loop
Onboarding reads everything first
Connect your account and your agent team reads everything before it makes anything: every ad you’ve ever run is x-rayed (visual hook, on-screen headline, full transcript), your highest-spend history first; your App Store listing and reviews; your market’s proven ads. One progress ritual, one reveal, and Round 1 is planned from what your account actually believes. No forms, no homework: you review ads, not questionnaires.
-
Agent capability
The App Kit: real screens, real words
The App Kit holds one card per real screenshot of your app, each synthesized for agents: the feature it shows, the benefit it proves, when to use it. Customer voice is mined from your reviews with quotes kept verbatim, and recurring objections become never-claim rules. Ads compose real product, sell the benefit, and borrow words your buyers already use. No invented interfaces, ever.

Studio: a creative seat inside the machine
A full editor over everything the agents produce: restyle, rescene, resegment, reorder, trim, and swap music on video; a canvas editor for statics and carousels; every export in feed, square, and story sizes. Edits re-render from the ad’s structure instead of re-shooting it, so changing your mind is fast and cheap. Agents compose; you get the final cut.
-
The loop
The loop closes: evaluate, promote, learn
The back half of the loop goes autonomous. Tests are evaluated on maturation windows with two-tier verdicts, so a fast signal can graduate early and a slow one is never killed prematurely. Winners queue for scaling, and promote is one consent tap. Rounds alternate their focus on their own and the strategy refreshes perpetually. The system stops waiting for prompts.
-
In the lab in testing
Store pages that match the ad
The click should land on the story that earned it. Agents draft persona-matched App Store product pages from your real screenshots, ship them through Apple review, and measure them page by page against the default listing. Built end to end; lighting up account by account.
-

Launch pad: launch is consent
Accepted ads queue on one launch bar: pick a live ad set or create one inline, see exactly what ships where, then launch. Anything that blocks becomes an actionable hold instead of a silent failure, and cancel is always one tap. From swipe to live on Meta in one gesture.
-
New surface
@hyperscaler joins your Slack
The agent team’s front door moves to where you already work: a DM when a round is ready for review, full conversations with live workspace context, and automations that run on your schedule and report back into the thread. Basically your newest team member.
-
The loop
Rounds, and a deck instead of approvals
Home becomes rounds: batches of tests the loop minted on its own, each with live narration as agents work it. Review is a swipe deck of finished ads: right ships, left kills and teaches. Approval paperwork is gone; your judgment enters the loop as verdicts on real creative, and every swipe becomes taste your agent team remembers.
-
Agent capability
Agents make real ads
Production goes live end to end: statics and multi-scene video up to 60 seconds, scene-chained for continuity, captioned, built on your real app, with an original music bed generated to match each cut’s exact duration. Producer and reviewer agents go multiple rounds before a human ever sees a frame. The deliverable stops being a brief; it is a finished ad.
-
Milestone
HyperScale becomes a Meta Tech Provider
On July 1, Meta verified HyperScale as a Tech Provider: business verification plus platform review for companies whose technology operates on advertisers’ accounts. When your agent team writes to your ad account, it does so through an officially verified integration. The badge now sits in the footer, sitewide.
-
Under the hood
The whole team upgrades in a day
A new frontier model generation ships and every seat on the team is re-based onto it within a day, analysts to producers. This is the compounding property of agentic-first: when the models get smarter, the whole loop gets smarter, with nothing for you to migrate.
June 2026
The loop takes shape: one-click onboarding, briefs you approve, a media buyer you can talk to.

@hyperscaler: a media buyer you can talk to
The assistant gets a real write surface on Meta: campaigns, ad sets, ads published straight from a chat attachment, Instagram identity handled, platform errors translated into plain words. Every write shows up first as a receipt-style approval card: what will be created, where the money goes, one tap to confirm. Media buying becomes a conversation with your agent team.
-
In the lab
Proprietary viral-TikTok ingestion
A fleet of cloud phones, each driven by an AI persona, scrolls your vertical’s TikTok For You Page around the clock, building a living corpus of viral organic content mapped to your market. Built as a research leg of the loop: your agents reason over it for ideation, and it joins the roster alongside creator-led production.
-
In public
hyperscale.net is live
The site ships with the only story we want to tell: an autonomous agent team that researches, creates, tests, and scales. One Google tap from the homepage into a live workspace. We start selling in the open.
-
Agent capability
The audit: strategy from evidence
One orchestrator runs the full read: your account’s history, your App Store listing and reviews, your market’s proven ads. Out the other side come researched personas with receipts, a strategy you can adopt in one tap, and a dashboard you can share. Positioning stops being a workshop exercise; it is derived from what already converts.
-
New surface
Mission-control home + live activity spine
The desk now opens on a mission-control home: a Live Now board showing each experiment’s latest narration, plus an impact-only activity feed. One unified spine for everything your agents do, so you can see the team working at a glance.
-

Brief: approval moves to the thinking
Creative briefs become first-class artifacts: every brief cites the diagnostic that motivated it, names the buyer it targets, and states the impact it expects as a falsifiable claim. Approval happens on the brief, not on a finished render, so your taste lands where it is cheapest and compounds the most. You green-light the thinking; the agents own the making.
-
The loop
One-click onboarding: agents awake in seconds
Connect Meta and your account snapshot builds deterministically: top performers, conversion model, and a testing campaign, with live narration as it happens. No setup wizard, no dead air. Your agents are reading your account within seconds of the OAuth click.
May 2026
The world model: every ad watched, every metric governed, agents wake in the cloud.
-
The loop
The experiment spine
Experiments become first-class objects: a hypothesis, the evidence that motivated it, expected impact stated as a claim that can be proven wrong, and eventually a verdict. A first onboarding agent reads a freshly connected account and proposes its opening tests from the proven winners it finds there. The loop has a skeleton.
-
Agent capability
The whole history, not a sample
Ingestion goes deep: every ad, every variant, back three years, resumable chunk by chunk on accounts with thousands of ads. The point is memory. Test #40 should be smarter than test #4, and that only works if the account’s entire past sits in the world model, not last quarter’s highlights.
-

X-ray: every ad, actually watched
A multimodal pass watches every creative the account has ever run: the visual hook, the on-screen text, the full transcript, the pacing. All of it is embedded, so agents search creative history by meaning, like “UGC hooks that open on a price objection”, instead of scrolling thumbnails. An account’s entire creative past becomes something the team can reason over.
-
The loop
Agents move into the cloud
The team stops living in a chat window. Agents now wake on schedules and signals, read the workspace, act, write their decisions down, and go back to sleep. Each wake recomposes the agent from its role files plus the workspace’s live memory, so behavior is versioned and improvable like code. No session to babysit, no tab to keep open.

Creative Analytics, rebuilt for agents
Raw delivery data lands in a governed warehouse and comes out as the metrics that actually decide creative: hook rate, hold rate, cost per trial, ROAS, each resolved through the workspace’s own conversion model. Every number an agent cites traces back to a query you can read, and every call it makes lands in a decisions ledger with the rationale attached.

All in. The private system becomes a product.

The surface is agents-first
Not a dashboard with a chatbot bolted on. The app opens on the agent team itself: a live board of what your agents are working on, agents and skills as first-class objects you can read and edit, benchmarks they hold themselves to. Everything since is built on that premise. You watch a team work; you do not operate a tool.

Day one is an import
HyperScale goes full time. The first commit to the product repo is not a hello world: it is
Initial import from hyperscale, the private system that had been running growth for a real iOS subscription app since 2025. Day one’s work is tearing out everything single-tenant: workspaces, row-level security, and a Meta connection any app can plug into with one OAuth click. The system that grew one account becomes a system that can grow any account. How we got here: the birth of HyperScale.
Prologue · February 2025 to April 2026
The birth of HyperScale.
HyperScale did not start as a startup idea. It started as a job. In February 2025 I joined Hélène Blonz, cofounder of beside, an AI receptionist app on iOS that had just raised $30M, as employee #1 of the marketing team. The mandate we agreed on from the first day: performance marketing here would be run by agents, not just assisted by them.
So instead of assembling the usual stack of tools, I built one for agents. A backend exposing the ad platform, the creative library, and a growing world model as tools agents could call. Autonomous workflows that managed assets, enforced naming discipline, launched ads through the API, watched delivery, and wrote iteration briefs from winning patterns. Month after month, more of the job moved out of my hands and into the loop.
The results made the argument better than any deck could.

beside · Feb 2025 to Mar 2026 · the account the loop grew up on
In October 2025 the system got a name: a private repo called
hyperscale,
built around the edges of the day job. Fourteen months inside a real account
taught me exactly where the frontier ran: what agents could already own
outright, what had to wait for the next model generation, and what deserved
to become a product instead of one person's tooling.
By spring 2026 the models had caught up with the ambition. In April I went
all in, full time. The product repo's first commit, April 19, 2026, is not a
hello world. It is an import:
Initial import from hyperscale. beside is where the loop was born; HyperScale is where it compounds for
every mobile subscription app.
Everything above this line is what happened next.
