The approach

Power is useful.
Control makes it yours.

AI should help you move through real work—with a clear view of what it knows, what it’s doing, and where your decision matters.

⌂

Close to home

The model runs on your machine and comes with the suite. Where information goes should be a deliberate choice.

⊙

A person in the loop

Meaningful actions deserve a moment of attention. Readable approvals keep the decision with the operator.

↳

A record you can follow

Page references, action outcomes, and retained evidence make the work easier to inspect and understand.

Inside Core

A little less magic.
A lot more clarity.

Follow a request through the system.
An illustrative interaction, not a live model.

The operator’s workspace
“Read these invoices and prepare a total report.”
Fabricated example data Human decisions stay human.

The Core family

One foundation.
Each surface in its lane.

Every surface is named for what it may touch. The one that reads the web holds none of your files. The one that holds your documents has no web. Nothing is handed between them.

Working prototype

Core

It proposes.
You decide.

A local assistant for the documents you hand it. It reads what you attach and can propose an action; the action waits for your approval, and what happened is kept on record. It has no web access.

Working prototype

Core for Web

One page in.
Its own words out.

Ask about a page you chose. Each sentence of the answer shows the words it quotes from that page, or says plainly that it is unsourced. It holds no files and takes no actions.

Core for Word

Rewriting and review inside a document, with the same approvals. Built as an experiment and not offered.

Parked

Core for Excel

Documents and scans into tables, each value tied to the page it came from. Earlier work under the name NorthParse, now paused.

One install, with its model included. Your one choice: CPU or GPU.
An installer for Windows, then macOS, is being built. There is nothing to download yet.

Still building. Always curious.

The next chapter
is being made.

Harness Core is a working lab. We’re turning experiments into a suite you can install, learning from real use, and making the machinery easier to live with.
