Harness is a software delivery platform providing CI/CD, feature flags, cloud cost management, chaos engineering, security testing, and GitOps — with AIDA (AI Development Assistant) embedded across. AIDA generates CI/CD pipelines from natural language descriptions, troubleshoots pipeline failures with root cause analysis, and suggests configuration fixes. Intelligent test selection runs only tests relevant to each code change, reducing CI execution time. Feature Flags provides controlled rollouts with targeting, A/B testing, and kill switches. Cloud Cost Management identifies cloud waste and automates cost reduction. With customers including Etsy, United Airlines, and AppDynamics, Harness validates across e-commerce, airline, and software for enterprise software delivery.
Harness AI runs as llm assistant software built around text and code workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, cli, and api, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.
