Saddle

A new kind of AI harness

Fit an AI to your actual work.

Most AI tools are chat boxes or engineering kits. Saddle interviews you in plain language, then builds a working harness — skills, MCP servers, tools, and connected models — that anyone can use.

How it works

01

Interview

A few questions about who this is for, what you do, and how it should talk. No jargon.

02

Compile

Saddle writes standing orders, skills, and tool catalogs — the same parts engineers wire by hand.

03

Run

Talk to it. Add unlimited skills, MCP servers, and tools as your needs grow. Connect any model.

Why this exists

Two families of harnesses. Saddle is a third.

Engineering kits

  • Claude Code, Codex, Goose
  • LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen
  • OpenAI Agents SDK, MCP servers

Powerful. You write code, graphs, or YAML. Built for software people.

Chat boxes

  • Custom GPTs
  • Character bots
  • Simple assistants

Easy. They rarely grow real skills, tools, or servers. They stall when work gets specific.

Interview-compiled

  • Saddle
  • Questions → a manifest
  • Runtime + skills + MCP

You answer. It builds the harness. Unlimited skills and MCP tools, usable by a non-engineer.

What’s a harness, really?

A model answers. A harness acts. It is the runtime around the model: the loop, the tools it may touch, the skills it can load, the memory it keeps, and the brakes.

In 2026 that layer split in two. Orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI) make you draw the workflow. Execution harnesses (Claude Agent SDK, Codex) give a strong model a computer and a loop. Both still assume you can code.

Saddle compiles a harness from an interview. The output is the same anatomy: a system prompt, SKILL.md-style packages, MCP tool catalogs, and a provider mesh (Grok credits or your own keys).

  1. 01Observe what you asked
  2. 02Load the matching skill
  3. 03Use a tool or MCP server
  4. 04Check the work
  5. 05Remember what matters

Brain-dead simple on purpose.

No graphs. No YAML. No “bring your own vector store.” Sign in, answer the questions, talk to the result. Add more skills and servers whenever you want — including by asking the harness to mint them.
