Harness Introduces Autonomous Worker Agents for Software Delivery

July 01, 2026
Harness has launched Autonomous Worker Agents, a platform that allows enterprises to build and manage AI agents for software delivery tasks such as building, testing, and deployment. The agents operate within existing pipelines with governance, security, and audit controls.

Harness announced in a press release the launch of Autonomous Worker Agents, a system that enables enterprises to build and run AI agents for software delivery. The agents handle work across the build, test, deploy, and operations stages, operating inside existing pipelines with enterprise-level governance and security controls.

The agents function as governed steps within Harness pipelines, inheriting controls such as sandboxing, scoped credentials, policy enforcement, and audit trails. Each agent runs in isolation, with restricted access and defined permissions, ensuring safe execution in production environments. Token usage is tracked per agent and per pipeline.

Harness provides pre-built agents including Autofix, Code Review, Code Coverage, Feature Flag Cleanup, Manifest Remediator, and IaCM Remediation. These agents automate common software delivery tasks such as fixing build failures, reviewing code quality, and resolving configuration issues.

A new Harness Agent Marketplace offers Managed, Certified, and Community tiers for publishing and sharing Worker Agents. Teams can adopt, modify, or contribute agents within the marketplace. The platform supports multiple large language models, including Anthropic via AWS Bedrock and OpenAI, with flexible configuration per agent or pipeline.

Autonomous Worker Agents and the Harness Agent Marketplace are now generally available to all Harness customers.
