Harness launches Agent DLC for developers to deploy AI agents using familiar processes and tools
Integrated software delivery platform provider Harness Inc. said today it’s reinventing the development lifecycle for artificial intelligence agents so organizations can bring them from concept to production without worrying they might break something.
The company has announced the availability of Agent DLC, which provides companies with evaluation, deployment governance and security controls that are purpose-built for the uniqueness of AI agents and the strange ways they behave. Crucially, it enables enterprises to develop and manage their agents using the same continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines they use to ship traditional software code.
Harness says companies urgently need to overhaul their agentic development pipelines. At most big companies, senior executives are urging their software teams to adopt AI agents that can autonomously carry out business work on behalf of humans with minimal oversight, anticipating a massive leap in productivity. That’s the promise, but AI agents will only deliver on such gains if they don’t go haywire, and there are very real concerns that they will.
