Mastra says AI harnesses are becoming always-on “claws” for coding agents
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-07-22
Mastra CEO Sam Bhagwat argues that AI harnesses are evolving from simple orchestration layers into “claws”: systems that stay present in collaborative workflows, listen for external events, ping users, and keep a heartbeat while users are away.
The talk frames modern harnesses as “Context Engineering + Coding Agents,” and says teams are adding planning mode, parallel subagents, skills, and background tasks. The broader claim is that harnesses will keep expanding until they become more like always-on collaborators than passive wrappers around a model.
