🚨META JUST LOST TO 3 STARTUPS ON PRODUCT HUNT.

Muse by Meta launched yesterday and finished #5.

Mastra Factory: #1 → @mastra
Harden: #2 → @hardenrun
ChatGPT Images 2.5: #3
Noodle Seed: #4 → @Noodle_Seed
Muse by Meta: #5 → @muse

Meta has billions of users and basically unlimited distribution.
and somehow Muse finished one rank above “Ass Auction” 😭

And Product Hunt’s founder @rrhoover is showing love too.

Safe to say the team cooked today. 🔥

Now we push for #1.

[Kartik Rawat @kartikrawat_]

You know who just got featured in the Product Hunt newsletter? 👀

They picked up “babysitting” for the subject line and made us a major headline today.

Great work lets keep pushing! 🚀

Claude Code. Codex. Cursor. Kiro. Hermes. OpenClaw. Antigravity CLI.

Let your agents run.

Harden is free for developers

[Harden @hardenrun]

Coding agents can now work for hours on their own.

You shouldn’t have to babysit every action they take.

Harden watches what your agents do and catches risky actions before they happen.

[Harden @hardenrun]

@RamaswmySridhar Solid. approach to ensure that the agent can't change their scope mid-session. At Harden we do something similar but for tool calls.

[Harden @hardenrun]

Security should not make you switch coding agents.

That is why Harden AIF works with the agents you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity CLI, Kiro, Hermes, and OpenClaw.

You can try it free at: https://t.co/0vhkqYjFQS

Using a different AI coding agent or workflow? Tell us what you use. We’re expanding compatibility and would love to build for it next.

Protection is foundational in financial services.

Harden is proud to join the Financial Institution Insurance Council, FIIC.

As AI changes how financial institutions build and operate software, security and control need to be built in from the start.

[Harden @hardenrun]

When Harden says “block,” it means that tool call will not run, but it does not mean the task is over.

AIF looks at what the agent is trying to do, the developer’s intent, and the context of the session. If the task is legitimate but the proposed call contains something unsafe, such as a secret pasted into a patch, AIF can rewrite the call safely by redacting the secret and preserving the intended work.

The creative below shows exactly that: the original call is stopped before execution, protected input replaces the exposed secret, and the agent can safely retry.

If an action goes beyond the developer’s approval, breaks an organization’s policy, or cannot be made safe, AIF blocks it. That is by design.

The goal is not to create more interruptions. It is to keep legitimate work moving while preventing unsafe actions from reaching your code, data, or environment.

AIF can allow a call, rewrite it safely, or block it when there is no safe path forward.

Harden AIF is free for individual developers. Try it at https://t.co/0vhkqYjFQS

[Harden @hardenrun]

“Trust me bro, the agent knows what it’s doing” is not a security strategy.

One rogue tool call, a hallucinated instruction, or a small context mistake can become a real action in your codebase, credentials, or environment.

That is why Harden AIF sits between coding agents and the tools they use.

Before Harden AIF, tool calls can run unchecked. With Harden AIF, every supported call is checked before it runs. Safe actions continue, sensitive data can be redacted, and actions that go beyond the developer’s intent or a team’s policy are blocked.

Give your coding agents autonomy, not unchecked access.

Harden AIF runs locally and is free for individual developers: https://t.co/0vhkqYjFQS

[Harden @hardenrun]

@ottleyai You got it, Liam, pre-execution control is the core of AIF.

[Harden @hardenrun]

Introducing Harden Agentic Integrity Foundation (AIF), the unified security layer for AI coding agents

We believe the future of software engineering is long running agents taking on complex work while keeping your data, credentials, and critical secrets safe.

So we built AIF

→ Evaluates every action before execution
→ Uses developer intent and session context
→ Blocks unsafe actions or makes them safe
→ Runs locally and records every decision for audit

Whether you use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Kiro, OpenClaw, or Hermes, AIF works with the agents you already use.

AIF is not another dashboard or copilot. It is the security layer between your coding agent and the systems it can affect

Our post-trained model outperforms frontier models across critical agent-security benchmarks

AIF is free for individual developers: https://t.co/l2WFYQGJww
