Pipeline AI

AI that knows your pipeline inside and out

Built on a Knowledge Graph of your pipelines, code, tests, and deployments, Pipeline AI authors pipelines, diagnoses failures, and surfaces insights across every build.

Software Delivery Knowledge Graph

AI grounded in your entire delivery history

Most CI AI answers questions in isolation. Pipeline AI reasons across a connected graph of your pipelines, commits, test results, artifacts, and deployments — so every answer is rooted in what actually happened.

Connected context, not disconnected data. Links pipeline runs to code, tests, artifacts, and deployments — so AI can answer questions no search box could.

Learns from your patterns. Maps which changes cause failures, which tests are reliable signals, and which deploy patterns correlate with incidents — specific to your team.

Shared context across every AI feature. All AI features — authoring, error analysis, agents, and insights — draw from the same Knowledge Graph and get smarter together.

Pipeline Authoring

Describe your stack. Get a production-ready pipeline.

Stop writing YAML from scratch. Describe your language, test framework, registry, and deployment target — Pipeline AI generates a complete, optimized pipeline with caching, test selection, and security scanning built in.

Context-aware generation. AI reads your repo structure, detects your build system, and generates a pipeline tailored to your codebase — not a generic template.

Best practices built in. Every generated pipeline includes caching, test selection, SBOM generation, and security scan integration — wired in automatically.

Iterative refinement. Ask AI to add a stage, adjust parallelism, or switch infrastructure in plain language. The pipeline updates in real time — no YAML editing required.

Error Analyzer

Root cause in seconds, not hours.

When a build breaks, Error Analyzer cross-references the failure against commit history, dependency changes, and test patterns to surface exactly what went wrong and how to fix it.

Cross-references your entire delivery history. Checks what changed in your code, what dependencies were updated, and whether similar failures happened before — not just the stack trace.

Distinguishes real failures from environment noise. AI identifies whether a failure is a code change, flaky test, infra issue, or dependency bump — so you fix the right thing.

Inline in the build UI. Error Analyzer surfaces in the build details view the moment a stage fails. No context switching to another tool — the answer is right where the failure is.

Worker Agents

Autonomous agents that execute inside governed pipelines

Worker Agents run as steps inside your Harness pipelines — each trained for a specific delivery task, operating with full pipeline context, governed by your approval policies, and visible in the same audit trail as every other step.

CI-native

Code Review Agent. Reviews every PR for correctness, security, and style. Leaves structured inline comments with severity levels.

Security vulnerability detection
Logic and correctness review
Adherence to team conventions
Blocking or advisory mode
CI-native

Autofix Agent. Detects linting violations, failing tests, or vulnerabilities in CI and generates a targeted fix — opening a PR automatically.

Auto-patch dependency vulnerabilities
Fix linting violations at merge time
Generate test cases for coverage gaps
PR opened with context and diff
CI-native

Pipeline Optimizer Agent. Analyzes build history and applies optimizations — caching, parallelism, redundant step removal — automatically.

Detect and enable Cache Intelligence
Split test stages for parallelism
Remove duplicate or redundant steps
Weekly optimization reports
CI-native

Dependency Update Agent. Monitors dependencies for new versions and CVEs, validates compatibility in CI, then opens a PR — only for changes that pass.

CVE-triggered emergency updates
Compatibility-tested upgrades
Grouped batched update PRs
Rollback if tests regress
CI-native

DORA Insights Agent. Tracks DORA metrics across your pipelines and surfaces actionable recommendations for improving throughput.

DORA metric tracking and trends
Bottleneck identification
Team-level comparison
Monthly executive summaries
Extensible

Custom Agents. Build your own Worker Agent with the Harness Agent SDK and drop it into any pipeline as a governed step.

Ask Pipeline AI

Every pipeline question. One AI.

Pipeline AI answers questions about your builds, failures, costs, and bottlenecks in plain language — with answers grounded in your actual pipeline history, not generic advice.

Generate pipelines on demand. Describe your stack and get a complete, optimized pipeline — language, build system, test framework, registry, and deploy target all configured.

Diagnose any failure instantly. Paste a build URL or ask about the latest failure. Error Analyzer traces it back to the exact commit, config change, or dependency update.

Understand your build costs. Ask where CI budget is going. Pipeline AI breaks down spending by team, pipeline, or stage and surfaces the highest-impact cuts.

Build & Test Insights

Dashboards that show you where time and money go

Built-in dashboards surface build performance, test health, and cost trends across every pipeline — so engineering leaders and developers always know where to optimize.

Build Performance. Track build times, success rates, and queue depth across every pipeline and branch. Drill into stage-level breakdowns to see exactly where time is lost.

Test Health. Monitor flaky test rates and coverage trends across all repos — with visibility into the slowest tests and Test Intelligence savings.

Cost & Usage. See where CI credits go — by pipeline, team, or stage — and get AI recommendations to cut spend without slowing delivery.
