Navin Harness
Navin is an agent harness. The product name on the site is Navin Harness.
A harness is the loop that runs a model with tools, memory, permissions and channels until the job is done. It is not a chat tab in the browser. It is not autocomplete in an editor.
What the harness does
- Take a goal (chat, board mission, channel message, heartbeat, slash command).
- Call a model (local, BYOK or managed).
- Use tools: files, shell, git, web, scrape, MCP, cron, studios.
- Keep memory and session context.
- Ask you before risky steps (Git brakes, approvals).
- Repeat until the slice is done, then stop for review.
What sits on the harness
- Code - Vision 360, plan, review, security, debug, board autonomy
- Channels - WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, email and more
- Studios - scraping, leads, marketing, SEO, documents, meeting, media
- Heartbeat - quiet recurring checks
- Plugins / skills / MCP - extend the same loop
Local-first
The harness runs on your machine (Windows, macOS, Linux). Chats and files stay on disk. You choose local models, your own keys, or optional managed models.
