AI-powered coding alone is insufficient for achieving true software delivery velocity, which requires end-to-end automation and intelligent governance across the entire lifecycle. The widespread adoption of AI coding assistants has transformed software engineering, with many organizations shipping code faster; however, this acceleration has exposed a critical bottleneck where downstream processes like testing, security, and compliance remain largely manual, leading to the AI Velocity Paradox. Harness addresses this by providing a unified platform that extends AI beyond code creation, automating building, testing, securing, deploying, and optimizing software. This approach mitigates security and quality risks and reduces cloud costs, while enabling better governance and incident response. By automating the entire software delivery lifecycle, Harness helps organizations become Velocity Leaders, combining speed with resilience to turn AI-driven development into a sustainable competitive advantage, and transforming AI from a productivity boost into a true competitive advantage in the process.
