Harness is proud to announce AIDA, AI Development Assistant. AI infused software delivery that doesn't merely embrace AI but weaves it into the fabric of every stage of the software delivery lifecycle. Harness aims to automate routine tasks, improve accuracy, and accelerate software delivery timelines, marking a significant leap forward in its mission to provide the industry's most innovative and comprehensive modern software delivery platform.
Envision supercharging your coding with autocomplete, gaining deep insight with code explanations, automatically creating test cases, and having an AI sidekick for swift debugging and code issue remediation. That's the kind of productivity boost Harness is bringing to developers.
Imagine the software delivery process being simplified as if it's on auto-pilot: AI-driven generation of CI/CD pipelines, automated static code analysis, succinct PR summaries, enriched code reviews, and feature flags instrumented automatically. Plus, an AI-assisted onboarding and a troubleshooting guide for build and deployment issues. This is how Harness is making software delivery seamless and intuitive.
But it's not just about speed and simplicity. Harness also strengthens governance and security. Picture an AI tool that automatically explains and fixes vulnerabilities, auto-generates Open Policy Agent (OPA) policies and templates, and automatically crafts cloud asset policies, ensuring you're always in control and your environments remain secure.
Harness is infusing AI into the entire software delivery lifecycle, empowering engineers and engineering leaders with tools that boost productivity, streamline software delivery, and enhance governance, leading to an exciting and game-changing future for DevOps.
Harness is announcing the following three capabilities to start with as part of its AI infused software delivery platform, AIDA.
Harness AIDA has a lot of potential in Continuous Integration (CI) builds and Continuous Delivery (CD) deployments, particularly in the analysis and resolution of build errors. Upon a build failure, the AI can analyze log files, correlate the error messages with known issues, and suggest possible fixes. This allows developers to rectify the problem quickly, increasing productivity and reducing downtime.
Harness Cloud Asset Governance (CAG) is innovating Cloud Cost Management (CCM) through a Governance-as-Code approach, featuring real-time enforcement and auto-remediation backed by YAML-based policies. Generative AI facilitates policy creation using natural language queries and helps users understand pre-existing policies. This advanced approach not only accelerates time to value, resulting in hard dollar savings but also democratizes policy expertise, enabling anyone to become a policy expert and enhancing the effectiveness of cloud governance.
Harness AIDA has integrated the AI capabilities of Generative AI into Security Test Orchestration (STO) to address detected vulnerabilities such as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and Common Weakness Enumerations (CWEs). Harness AIDA generates remediation suggestions to guide users through resolving these issues. This new feature allows users to easily adjust or reset the remediation process, transforming how security issues are managed within the system. This innovation not only streamlines the vulnerability remediation process but also empowers users to take control, thereby enhancing the security and efficiency of the software delivery process.
Harness is infusing AI into DevOps, empowering users with tools that boost productivity, streamline software delivery, and enhance governance, ushering in the era of DevTools 2.0.
Most AI developer tools primarily focus on code generation and developer productivity. While this is important, it is necessary to understand the role AI will play in the overall software delivery lifecycle.
Since 2018, Harness has leveraged AI to improve software delivery. Test Intelligence, Deployment Verification, and Change Impact Analysis have been used by our customers for years to reduce developer toil and improve software delivery that led to the vision of Harness AIDA. A full range of capabilities will be rolled out this year across each SDLC phase.
As the generative AI landscape evolves, organizations are eager yet cautious about leveraging large language models (LLMs). The reluctance stems from notable concerns surrounding data privacy and security, issues with weaving AI tools into existing software delivery toolchains, and the classic 'build vs.. buy' considerations.
Harness has successfully infused AI into the software delivery lifecycle while ensuring users have the required privacy, security controls, and governance guardrails.
Company CEO and founder Jyoti Bansal says AIDA is an extension of a lot of the work the startup has been doing over the years. “When we look at generative AI we look at how Harness has such a proven history of bringing AI to DevOps, CI/CD and deployment, verification and all the different things we have been doing,” Bansal told TechCrunch.
Jyoti Bansal reported to SiliconAngle that Harness added that it has also taken steps to ease concerns around data privacy, security and copyright infringement. The company explained that the AI Development Assistant’s stack, including its custom large language model, training data and vector database, are designed in such a way that all of the source code used in training has permissive licenses. It said this means its AI can be used without worrying that proprietary or copyleft code is used for training the Harness AI stack.
As reported in DevOps.com, “Harness has invested in machine learning algorithms to automate a range of DevOps tasks. Generative AI, in combination with machine learning, will transform DevOps workflows in ways that will ultimately improve both the rate at which applications can be built and their overall quality.”
Harness AIDA builds upon these capabilities by seamlessly integrating AI into build and deployment pipelines, enhancing software security, code integrity, cost efficiency, and reliability monitoring. Harness AIDA is a privacy first and enterprise ready solution for your enterprise.
Harness AIDA is set to revolutionize software delivery by infusing AI into the SDLC, ushering in the era of DevTools 2.0. Harness AIDA empowers users with tools that boost productivity, streamline software delivery, and enhance governance, transforming the way we view and execute software delivery.
Harness AIDA is more than just a tool; it is the future of software delivery. Join us on this journey and experience the power of AI infused software delivery.
