Your Website was Built for Humans. AI Needs Something Cleaner.

The web spent a decade optimizing for browsers. JavaScript-heavy rendering, dynamic CMS templates, and client-side hydration made pages beautiful and machines blind. AI answer engines retrieve, parse, and cite content directly. If your best content is trapped behind a render cycle, a cleaner source wins.

Harper's AI Stack: Models API, Agent Loop, and Built-in Agent

Harper 5.1 ships three layered AI capabilities: a provider-agnostic Models API supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, and Ollama; a built-in agentic loop via toolMode: 'auto' with hard budget controls; and an opt-in Harper Agent component. Switching providers is a config change, not a code change.
