AI researcher advises on building domain-specific 'harnesses' for agentic era

Omar Sanseviero, a researcher at HF, is advising builders, particularly those associated with Y Combinator, on the importance of developing domain-specific "harnesses." These harnesses are crucial for staying competitive in the emerging agentic era, offering significant product advantages by creating new surface areas and experiences. Technically, they provide a framework for user interaction and enable the construction of more robust intelligence stacks through customization and domain expertise. Sanseviero encourages builders to explore harness papers and to start developing their own domain-specific harnesses to enhance current agentic tools. AI

IMPACT Encourages developers to build specialized frameworks for AI agents, potentially leading to more sophisticated and competitive AI applications.

    Learn to build a harness, folks.

    Learn to build a harness, folks. It's not surprising to me that so many YC builders want to build domain-specific harnesses. If you work long enough on a domain-specific problem, you quickly realize the opportunity. But you also realize how important that harness will be to
