Building an AI Agent Is Easy. Trusting It in Production Is Hard.

Most teams can get an AI prototype working. Few can trust it in production. Autonomous agents need clear limits, verifiable output, and a record of what happened, and they need a reliable data and DevOps foundation underneath. NGDA builds that foundation and the governance layer together, so the system is trustworthy by design rather than by convention.

Autonomous Execution. Human Authority.

The harness is how NGDA holds those two together: automation does the work, people approve each gate, and every stage carries a state a reader can see.

Verification

Executable acceptance criteria run in CI, with conformance checks beside them.

Human Oversight

Human-in-the-loop approval gates, with persisted run state behind them.

Auditability

From Architecture to Production. With Every Gate Verified.

  1. Engineer planning software architecture with diagrams on paper Discover Map the workflow, data sources, constraints, and the decisions that must stay with people.
  2. Close-up of a practitioner marking architecture diagrams and specifications Specify Agree on written specifications with executable acceptance criteria, so “done” is testable.
  3. Software engineer implementing and reviewing code at a development workstation Build Ship small, reviewed changes; automation does the work and people approve each gate.
  4. Illuminated automated validation checklist and mechanical conformance signals Verify Tests, schema and contract validation, and conformance checks run in CI on every change.
  5. Cloud computing infrastructure and production data-center systems Deploy & Operate Documentation, runbooks, and monitoring. Every production lesson becomes an enforced check, not a wiki note.
