About NAU Labs

NAU Labs is an independent software company. We build the software that makes AI useful for real work, starting with Harness.

Why we exist

Software has long helped people organize information. The next step is helping them move a task forward: finding what matters, doing the work, and making the result clear enough to trust.

We don’t build AI models. Harness is the piece that makes them useful: it brings capability and control together in one place, built for real work from the first request to the finished result.

Leadership

Josh Garcia

Josh Garcia

Founder and CEO

Josh founded NAU Labs to make AI useful for real work. He designs and builds the company’s products, starting with Harness, and works directly with the businesses that use them.

NAU Labs grew from building software against real operational problems. Harness carries that practical beginning into a broader product: one that can help with many kinds of work, on the computers and services people already rely on.

How we work

Four principles guide everything we build.

  1. 01

    Let the work continue

    Real tasks take time. A closed tab, a new chat, or a slow tool should not stop the work. It should pick up where it left off.

  2. 02

    Make results easy to check

    Before you rely on a result, you should be able to check how it was made: the sources used, the steps taken, and the finished work.

  3. 03

    Keep people in charge

    AI should be able to do the work you allow. You should decide on important actions and on how the result is used.

  4. 04

    Say what is real

    Be clear about what a product can do today, what depends on a connection or setup, and what is still being built.
