Harness has infused its continuous delivery-as-a-service platform with a multi-agent artificial intelligence architecture to improve developer workflows, increase productivity and create an ecosystem of new AI-powered assistants.
The new additions include a suite of specialist AI assistants such as the AI DevOps Assistant, which supports developers through the entire software development process.
There is also an AI Code Assistant, similar to GitHub's Copilot tool, which helps developers write their software updates by suggesting code and testing it for problems to accelerate the coding process and ensure consistent quality.
The AI Productivity Insights tool measures and optimises the impact of the new AI assistants.
Harness's main goal is to make it simple for developers to adopt and implement a CI/CD workflow.
Harness has announced new Database DevOps features for simplifying the deployment and governance of database changes by integrating them within users' CI/CD pipelines and automating policy enforcement.

Founder and CEO Jyoti Bansal said the AI DevOps assistant and the Database DevOps capabilities are entirely new innovations that no one else can offer and that there will be more of these assistants in future.
Over the years Harness has built out its Platform, starting with continuous delivery, adding continuous integration tools, then feature flagging and most recently cloud cost management tools.
