Harnesses

Workflows that keep the receipts

A harness is a hosted workflow built for one kind of work. It runs durably, spends only what you approved, and stores the evidence behind whatever it hands back.

What you are actually buying

Not a model, and not a prompt you have to maintain. The work, and the machinery that makes the work trustworthy.

A run that survives its own failures
Every run has an identity, checkpoints as it works, and can be resumed. A network error, a slow provider, or an exhausted budget stops the work without losing it.
A price agreed before the work starts
Expensive work is quoted first and capped at the number you approve. A harness pauses and asks rather than spending past its limit.
Evidence you can inspect afterwards
Sources, artifacts, and the record of what happened are stored and exportable. You are not asked to trust a paragraph with no trail behind it.
One account and one balance
Every harness draws from the same Vidbyte Credits under one workspace. Each product page prices that balance in whatever unit makes sense for the job.

The harnesses

Each one keeps its own workflow, output, and pricing unit, because the buyers and the costs are not the same.

  • Research harness

    available

    Answer a research question by finding, reading, and filing the sources that bear on it.

    What you receive

    A persistent research thread holding one structured artifact per source: link, metadata, summary, relevance to your question, recommendations, and provenance.

    Priced in research pages

    See research pricing

  • Engineering harness

    in development

    Take a scoped change through a repository and return work that has been checked rather than merely written.

    What you receive

    A verified engineering run with the diff, the checks that ran, and the evidence they passed.

    Will be priced in engineering runs

    In development. Write to us if this is the harness you need first.

  • Monitoring harness

    planned

    Watch a research thread or a set of sources and report when something material changes.

    What you receive

    Scheduled refreshes of an existing collection, with a summary of what is new since the last pass.

    Will be sold as monitor slots

    Planned after the research harness ships its first version.

What people run them for

  • Literature reviews that stay open

    Start with one question, come back next month with a second, and add to the same collection instead of starting a new chat and re-reading everything.

  • Competitor and market landscapes

    Scope a run at 50 companies, get a quote, and receive one filed artifact per company with the source it came from rather than a confident summary of nothing.

  • Diligence with a paper trail

    Every claim keeps its link, its fetch date, and its completeness status, so a reviewer can check the work instead of taking it on faith.

  • Grounding another agent

    Export a thread as Markdown or JSON and hand a downstream model real sources with provenance instead of asking it to recall them.

  • Building teaching material

    Turn a filed source into the reading, the summary, and the follow-up questions that go with it, with the original always one click away.

Vidbyte

Harnesses that do a specific job, keep the evidence, and stop at the budget you approved.

Every harness draws on one Vidbyte account and one credit balance.
