“The harness is where the hard work is”: Harness bets on agents that enterprises can trust in production
About this episode
Harness introduces Autonomous Worker Agents to enhance CI/CD processes in enterprises.
Harness has introduced Autonomous Worker Agents, a new capability that allows enterprises to replace rigid CI/CD pipeline scripts with AI agents that can deploy applications, run tests, and perform security scans while operating under existing governance, security, and audit controls. Unlike Harness' existing expert agents, which assist developers with coding and pipeline creation, Worker Agents autonomously execute pipeline tasks within customer-controlled infrastructure. Agents are defined using simple Markdown files, draw context from the Harness Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, and run in sandboxed environments with scoped permissions and policy enforcement.
