# Harness AI

Access Harness AI documentation

Harness AI is an AI-first developer platform that brings intelligent assistance to every stage of the software delivery lifecycle. From natural language pipeline creation and AI-powered troubleshooting to IDE integrations, worker agents, and an MCP server for external AI tools, Harness AI meets developers and platform engineers where they work.

Harness AI Chat uses **Claude Opus 4.8** as its default model, running on **AWS Bedrock** and **Google Vertex AI**.
