In a Reddit post dated July 11, 2026, a user working in harness engineering—the layer of intelligence that wraps around a model to make it useful—reports that it has become easy to create an agent and plug it into a system in a few hours. These agents can open a computer and execute long, complex, multi-step action flows. The engineer has used this capability to automate tasks, including creating an AI video series where for each character it finds five different sources. The post underscores the rapid progress in making agentic AI accessible for real-world automation.
