Watch & catch

Harness can watch your screen over a stretch of time and take notes or flag you the moment something you care about happens, so you do not have to stare at a dashboard yourself.

Watching

Ask Harness to watch, and it observes your screen over a set period, reasoning over what it sees and delivering a synthesized result when the watch ends. For example:

• “Watch me for the next 10 minutes and note every account that mentions Harness.”
• “Keep an eye on this dashboard for an hour and summarize what changed.”

The watch runs in the background. You can keep working and chatting; the findings arrive as a message when the watch completes.

Catching

A watch can also carry conditions to catch, not just a topic to summarize. When you ask Harness to flag you if something specific happens, it checks for that condition as it watches and alerts you the moment it is met:

• “Flag me if this deploy goes red.”
• “Let me know the moment that transaction confirms.”

Catches are held to a conservative bar. Before an alert fires, the condition is independently double-checked against what is actually on screen, so a catch means it really happened rather than a guess. Harness also limits how often it interrupts you, so a watch stays useful rather than noisy.
