Updating HarvestIQ
Two Assistants combined into one
We launched HarvestIQ.ai on January 15 and immediately started working on revisions. Our goal is to create the most effective AI assistant for exploring data on 4,000+ cybersecurity vendors and 11,300+ products.
Some of the most popular use cases so far include:
Briefing prep. Ask the assistant for some smart questions to ask the vendor.
News summary. Get your own personalized cyber news roundup on demand.
Product comparisons. Just ask the assistant to compare two products or more.
Product selection. Describe your organization to the assistant and ask for product suggestions in a particular area.
I will be writing about more use cases in the coming days/weeks.
We made a big change by collapsing two assistants into one, just called the Cyber Assistant now. It was proving to be too confusing to have a separate Analyst Assistant for conversations about vendors and the markets, versus an Architect Assistant for conversations about products. The combined price is $159/mo.
Take note of the included features. Whenever the assistant replies with a product or company name you can quickly see the IT-Harvest Dashboard data we track on either the company or the product. Like this:
You can also upload your own files to the assistant to add them to its corpus of knowledge. Note we build a separate instance of the Assistant for you when you add your own files. It takes some time (up to an hour) but this way we don't see your files.
I still think of the combined assistants as a security architect. Keep your eyes open this week for our billboard ads that started running across the US this morning.
Stay tuned for almost continuous enhancements to HarvestIQ.ai
One question that comes up often is "What's the difference between the IT-Harvest Dashboard and HarvestIQ?" The Dashboard is a platform for exploring all the data that HarvestIQ draws on to answer questions and create reports. You can use HarvestIQ in place of ChatGPT or Claude or DeepSeek to get detailed answers about cybersecurity companies and products. But if you need a spreadsheet of all the vendors of a particular size in a particular category from a particular country, that is where the Dashboard shines.
You can get free access to both platforms. Signup for the Dashboard to see the data we maintain on the Cyber 150. Sign up for HarvestIQ to get ten free questions a month with all of the same functionality of the paid version.
