What is an AI harness?

An AI harness is a configured system of AI agents, tools, and workflows that automates repetitive business tasks. Unlike off-the-shelf AI platforms that charge monthly fees and limit usage, a harness connects Claude, OpenClaw, and Hermes to your existing tools — Slack, Gmail, CRMs, calendars — and runs them under your control with approval gates for sensitive actions.

Think of it as hiring a digital coworker who already knows your tools, follows your rules, and never takes a day off. You own the system outright. No subscriptions. No credit gates. No platform lock-in.

Built on open, proven tools

No black boxes. No proprietary lock-in. Just reliable software you can audit and extend.

Most AI "solutions" create more work

Teams buy tools, burn credits, and still do the heavy lifting. The real problem is not having a system that actually runs your workflows.

Scattered research

Prospect data lives in five tabs, two spreadsheets, and a notebook. Your team repeats the same lookup every week.

Drafting delays

Proposals, follow-ups, and outreach sit in drafts for days because no one has time to polish them.

Follow-up gaps

Leads go cold after one email. CRM reminders are ignored. Revenue leaks through cracks in the process.

Ops overhead

Scheduling, data entry, and reporting eat hours that should go to closing deals and serving clients.

Questions

Claude Cowork means configuring Anthropic's Claude AI as an active coworker inside your tools — handling research, drafting, follow-ups, and operations through OpenClaw and Hermes, with human approval on sensitive actions.

An AI harness is a configured system of AI agents, tools, and workflows that automates repetitive business tasks. You need one when your team spends too much time on research, drafting, follow-ups, data entry, and reporting instead of closing deals and serving clients. A harness connects Claude, OpenClaw, and Hermes to your existing tools and runs them with approval gates for sensitive actions.

WorkClaw charges monthly fees plus AI credits. You rent access. Plinko builds a harness you own outright — one-time cost, no recurring platform fees, no credit gates. You control the infrastructure and the data.

Slack, Gmail, Google Workspace, Notion, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Calendly, and most tools with an API. We can also build custom integrations for proprietary or industry-specific tools.

Starter Harness is $2,500 for a single core workflow. Business Harness is $5,000 for a multi-agent system with up to 4 workflows and advanced governance. Ongoing Care is $750/month optional. The $250 Strategy Session is credited toward your build.

The Starter Harness is delivered in 14 days. The Business Harness typically takes 21-30 days depending on complexity. Both include a Strategy Session, build and configuration, and handoff with team training.

Yes. The harness runs on infrastructure you control — typically a private VPS or your existing cloud account. We do not host your data. OpenClaw and Hermes run locally or on your servers. All workflows include approval gates for sensitive actions.

No. The harness is built for business users, not developers. We handle all technical setup, integration, and configuration. After handoff, your team interacts with the harness through familiar tools like Slack and email. We provide documentation and training so non-technical team members can operate the system confidently.
