Which fits

An honest answer

Personal AI agents are the better fit when

  • One person wants help with their own tasks, files and inbox
  • The work is ad hoc rather than a weekly process
  • Developers want an agent to write and change code

Harnyss is the better fit when

  • The work belongs to the company, not one person
  • You need approvals, quality checks and a record of every action
  • You want someone accountable for keeping it running

Use both. Your people keep their personal assistants for their own work, and Harnyss runs the repeatable work the company needs done every week, on the same models.
