Short answer
How can I manage client profiles with my AI?
You can create new profiles, update existing info, or delete clients using natural language. Your agent executes these changes in Harvest based on your instructions. You'll see how the data moves in the breakdown below.
Data outcomes
Where your data lands.
What happens when you give your agent a command.
NEW
Fresh profiles
The AI builds a new client record from the details you provide in chat. It populates the necessary fields immediately.
EDIT
Updated info
When client details change, just tell your agent. It finds the right profile and applies your edits.
REMOVE
Cleaned data
If a client is no longer active, your agent removes their profile from the system on your command.
MANUAL
Human oversight
The AI performs the technical work, but you remain in control of which specific clients get modified or deleted.
The workflow

Your agent acts as the bridge between your conversation and the Harvest database.

The agent looks up the specific person or company you are talking about to ensure it targets the right record.

How this task behaves.
- 01
Can the AI create clients without me giving details?
No. The AI needs specific information like a name or email to successfully create a profile.
- 02
Will the AI delete my entire database?
No. The AI only deletes the specific client you explicitly name in your command.
- 03
Can I change client billing settings through the chat?
No. This connector only handles basic client profile information.
- 04
Does the AI confirm deletions?
The AI executes the command you give it. You should be specific about which client you want to remove.
- 05
Can the AI see my other Harvest data?
The AI can only access the client information required to perform the tools you trigger.
