Harnest Companion: AI at the service of strategic management and governance
We spend too much time producing data, and not enough using it to make decisions. With Harnest Companion, AI is no longer content to analyze in the background: it becomes a co-pilot of strategic management, capable of transforming documents, indicators and ESG issues into information that is directly useful to governance bodies.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere. But when it comes to governance, sustainability and engaging strategic decisions, one question remains: how to put AI at the service of managers and more broadly all those who actively contribute to the sustainability of the company, without losing control, traceability and trust in the data?
It is to meet this challenge that we are launching Harnest Companion, Harnest's AI assistant.
A co-pilot, not a black box
Harnest Companion is not just another conversation gimmick. It was designed as a Strategic decision co-pilot, at the service of managers, members of management committees, boards of directors, CSR, finance, purchasing or risk teams.
Its role is clear: to allow interaction in natural language with data and documents structuring the company, in order to better understand, arbitrate and manage.
Concretely, Harnest Companion allows you to:
- Summarize complex documents (policies, analyses, ESG reports).
- Explore business challenges, risks and opportunities.
- Put into perspective the actions undertaken and their impacts.
- Quickly access relevant information, without navigating between dozens of tools or files.
All in a few seconds, directly from the Harnest platform.
An AI designed for governance and sustainability
The specificity of Harnest Companion lies in its job anchoring. It is not a generalist AI, but an assistant designed for ESG, CSRD and extra-financial management.
It is based on:
- Harnest's structured data (challenges, impacts, risks, risks, opportunities, actions, indicators).
- Internal company documents.
- A detailed understanding of regulatory frameworks and governance logics.
Harnest Companion thus makes it possible to transform a mass of heterogeneous information into operational and strategic decision support.
Security, sovereignty and data control
The use of AI in a strategic context legitimately raises questions of confidentiality and security.
Harnest Companion is designed to respect a fundamental principle: The AI only sees what the user is allowed to see in Harnest.
This means that:
- Existing access rights are strictly respected.
- Data is neither exposed nor shared outside the defined perimeter.
- Interactions are trackable and auditable.
AI thus becomes a Lever of trust, not an additional risk factor.
A new way to interact with strategic data
With Harnest Companion, we are evolving the relationship between organizations and their data.
We no longer only consult tables or static reports. On dialogue with information, in a language that can be understood by all profiles, technical or not.
This approach opens up new perspectives:
- Management committees better equipped to arbitrate.
- Teams that are more autonomous in analysis.
- More fluid, more informed and more responsive governance.
We will communicate on the new functionalities, use cases and interaction modes that will progressively enrich the assistant. Do not hesitate to subscribe to our newsletter so as not to miss anything!
