Supercharge Your Software Delivery with Harness’ “Create with AI” Feature

Harness’ “Create with AI” feature is revolutionizing software delivery. Here’s a hands-on perspective on leveraging Agentic AI to drive DevOps excellence.

As the pressure to deliver high-quality software at a high velocity continues to rise, development teams are looking for ways to streamline their workflows. One of the standout innovations to bridge demand and efficiency is the “Create with AI” feature on the Harness platform—an intelligent assistant built directly into the Harness ecosystem.

Harness is a leading software delivery platform and among the frontrunners in employing AI to accelerate the SDLC.

This piece explores how Harness Create with AI is transforming the developer experience, simplifying pipeline creation, accelerating deployments, and empowering teams to deliver better software, faster. Based on real-world use cases, this blog offers a hands-on look at how agentic AI is reshaping software delivery.

What is “Create with AI” in Harness?

Harness expedites test suite creation by 10x while reducing maintenance costs by 70%.

“Create with AI” is an AI-powered assistant embedded within the Harness platform. It helps users create CI/CD pipelines, YAML templates, deployment configurations, and more, simply by describing what they need in natural language. The image below shows the new button added on the dashboard to launch the Agentic AI experience on the platform.

Think of it as having an intelligent DevOps co-pilot that understands your goals and turns them into executable configuration files, saving countless hours of manual scripting and debugging. In an age where open banking is the new normal, this can be a game-changer in discovering novel use cases and implementing them for interconnected, unified scenarios of open banking.

Key Capabilities of Harness AI Feature

The Agentic AI-powered feature is a powerful companion for fintech developers. Here’s how:

Natural Language to YAML

Harness’ Agentic AI can generate complex pipeline YAML configurations just by understanding your input. Whether you’re deploying to Kubernetes, ECS, or using custom scripts, you no longer need to memorize syntax or search for sample files online.

Smart Suggestions

Harness’ AI provides intelligent suggestions based on the context of your current project, environment, and repository. It helps complete pipeline steps, validate syntax, and optimize deployment flows.

Learning & Documentation Integration

New to the Harness module? The AI assistant can guide you through configuration options, reference best practices, and explain what specific YAML sections mean, which turns the learning curve into a gentle slope.

Conversational Interface

Harness’ Create with AI supports a chat-like interface that lets users ask follow-up questions, iterate on the generated configurations, or even troubleshoot existing deployments.

Working Example 

The example below demonstrates how an effective prompt enables Harness to build a pipeline instantly. Effective prompt creation is the key to getting optimum results.

Notice how it evolves and adds more stages as we ask for container scans and functional testing stages to be added to the pipeline by enhancing the prompt.

How It Helps Development and DevOps Teams

Agentic AI has several benefits for development teams:

Accelerates Onboarding

New team members can create working pipelines without deep Harness or YAML knowledge. This drastically reduces onboarding time and ensures consistency across teams.

Promotes Reusability

Harness AI encourages modular design and reuse by suggesting templates and patterns already used within the organization.

Reduces Configuration Errors

Fewer manual edits mean lower error occurrence rates. The AI engine validates the generated YAML, helping avoid misconfigurations before they reach production.

Enhances DevOps Automation

With AI-driven configurations, teams can focus on adding value rather than writing boilerplate scripts, freeing up time for innovation and performance tuning.

Getting Started

Harness users can access the “Create with AI” feature directly within the pipeline creation flow or YAML editor. Look for the AI assistant icon or prompts such as:

“Describe your pipeline…”

Once you interact, the Agentic AI will guide you through configuration generation, reviews, and validations.

Future of DevOps: It’s Intelligent, It’s Automated, It’s Effortless

The future of software delivery isn’t just faster, it’s smarter. And with Harness AI, that future is already here.

Harness’ “Create with AI” is a step toward cognitive DevOps, where automation meets intuition. By removing complexity and enabling intent-driven pipeline creation, Harness empowers teams to move faster, without compromising on governance, security, or quality.

What This Means for Developers and SREs

Whether you’re a developer new to CI/CD or an SRE managing hundreds of pipelines, “Create with AI” is a game-changer. It blends the power of artificial intelligence with the principles of DevOps automation, bridging gaps between human creativity and operational precision.
