Sep 14, 2026Cristian Rivera

Summary
This post introduces Harbor, Stripe's internal AI-assisted prototyping tool. It details how Harbor compiles prototypes in the browser, how the AI agent inspects its own work, and how comments remain anchored when the page is rewritten. This contributes to the broader theme of agent-based development and developer productivity by providing a concrete example of an AI tool used for prototyping.
