Introducing Rising Tides
Why we’re documenting the build in public — and what Rising Tides is for.

AI coding agents are individually capable. The bottleneck is coordination. NorthHarbor builds the infrastructure that gives agents a shared view of the work, surfaces conflicts to humans before they cause damage, and keeps development moving without removing human judgment from the loop.
The Platform
Built to coordinate. Built to scale.
A family of tools and products designed around one principle: agents propose, humans approve.
Tides
PlatformThe coordination platform for AI-assisted software development.
Tides provides the infrastructure — task graphs, atomic claims, conflict detection, and human-in-the-loop decision gates — that makes multi-agent development reliable at any scale.

Open SourceGraph-based work tracking for AI-assisted development teams.
A CLI that models work items as a directed acyclic graph. Agents discover ready tasks, claim them atomically, and report completion — with DAG integrity and crash recovery built in.
View on GitHub →Pilot
In DesignThe central coordination brain for multi-agent projects.
Pilot aggregates agent alerts and conflicts, ranks them by impact, and surfaces prioritized decisions to humans through a real-time web interface. No raw logs — clear, actionable decisions.

Pre-releaseThe fastest way to review pull requests from your phone.
A mobile-first, AI-ready PR review app unifying GitHub and Azure DevOps into one experience. Inline suggestions, one-tap apply, CI status at a glance — built for engineers who don't sit still.

About
Built by an engineer, for engineers.
NorthHarbor was started by Bob Hong — an enterprise architect who got tired of watching capable AI agents step on each other's work. The tools to build with AI exist. The coordination layer didn't.
Every product in the NorthHarbor family is built using the same infrastructure it describes. Waypoint coordinates the build of Breezy. Pilot will manage its own development. We don't ship things we don't use ourselves.
More about NorthHarbor"The lighthouse doesn't shout. It illuminates. That's the model for everything we build — calm, trustworthy infrastructure that makes the path forward clear."
— Bob Hong, Founder
