alt Hacker NewsIs that an official term "coding harness"
Wondering if you wanted a similar interface (though a GUI not just CLI) where it's not for coding what would you call that?
Same idea cycle through models, ask question, drag-drop images, etc...

Yes. It seems to be the term that stands out the most, as terms like "AI coding assistant", "agentic coding framework", etc. are too vague to really differentiate these tools.
"harness" fits pretty nicely IMO. It can be used as a single word, and it's not too semantically overloaded to be useful in this context.
Honestly, i'm not interested in this if it can't use my subscription, but now i really want to understand this idea of coding harness. I've been exploring ideas that might be quite similar, though more inline with the scope of IDE, and it sounds like "coding harness" fits my mental model better.
