Agent Harness: The Core Infrastructure for Building Production-Grade AI Agents Have you ever faced this frustrating situation? You spend a lot of time building an AI chatbot that responds accurately and uses tools to complete simple tasks in demos. But when you try to turn it into a production-grade application, everything falls apart—the model forgets what it did a few steps ago, tool calls fail silently, and the context window gets filled with useless information, causing the entire agent’s performance to plummet.
