What each one is for
Harmonic is a security tool that also explains AI use. Typort is a view of AI use that also flags what went in. Both sort the work. Only Harmonic blocks; only Typort puts a dollar figure on each person.
Harmonic Security is good at
- Grouping prompts into tasks, and tasks into use cases, from each company's own activity
- Warning, coaching or blocking in under 200 milliseconds
- Prompt level visibility across more than 1,000 AI applications
- Risk profiles for each AI tool: data policies, training practices and where it is based
- Restricting personal or free accounts for company work
- Finding the tools AI agents connect to, and setting what agents may do
Typort is good at
- Who is using AI, how much, and which tools, per person and over time
- Estimated spend per person, with allowances and warnings
- A pie of what the team spends its time with AI doing
- Flags for what went in, and client rules marked broke or close
- Searching the team's chats and meetings, and asking questions of them with Ask Typort
- Five plain switches for what the company sees, shown to everyone on their first screen
What Harmonic does
From Harmonic's own website and documentation.
Sorts the work. Harmonic says its models "group related prompts into a single task, and then group tasks into use cases", built from each company's own activity. On this point Harmonic and Typort overlap: Typort sorts chats into a fixed set of kinds of work, so teams can compare like with like.
Usage by person. Its Usage Intelligence gives "views by department, employee, application, approval status, and time", and names can be masked in the portal.
Coaches and blocks. Its plans offer "Inline coaching that warns, nudges, or blocks in under 200 milliseconds", and it "shows the employee exactly what was flagged and why."
Spend, in words. Harmonic says you can see "which sanctioned tools earn their spend, which are shelfware". Its website gives no cost figure per person or per tool.
What it needs
A managed roll-out. Harmonic "can be deployed through Intune, Jamf, Kandji, or Group Policy." Its documentation says the extension is hosted on Harmonic's own infrastructure and needs device management to install.
A demo. Harmonic lists three plans, Explore, Guide and Command, with no public price, and asks you to book a demo.

See it in Typort
A walk through the team page: usage and estimated spend per person, what the work is, and the chats that broke or came close to a client rule.
What you get
The team page, flags and client rules, and the five switches.
The team page
Who is using AI this week, what the work is, people using AI each week, tool share by AI tool, and allowance warnings for anyone near or over.
Flags and client rules
What went in across the team: sales figures, strategy, client documents, passwords and keys. Each chat that broke a client rule, or came close, is listed with the person and the tool.
Five switches
Count usage and spend, AI analysis, keep the chats, let admins and team leaders read chats, keep voice typing. Every opening of a chat is recorded, and everyone sees the switches in plain words. Chats in the AI's own temporary or incognito mode are never collected.
Use them together
If you need to block, Harmonic blocks. Typort does not stop a prompt. If the job is coaching and blocking sensitive data across a thousand AI apps, that is what Harmonic is built for.
If you need to see the cost and the clients, Typort shows them. Estimated spend per person with allowances, rules per client marked broke or close, and the team's chats and meetings in one search. Staff see the same five switches the company has chosen.
The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
FAQ
Is Typort a replacement for Harmonic Security?
Not if you need blocking. Harmonic coaches, warns and blocks in real time; Typort shows what went in after the fact. If the job is seeing usage, cost, kinds of work and client rules, Typort does that with a browser extension and a sign in.
Does Harmonic show AI spend per person?
Not as a figure on its website. Harmonic talks about which tools earn their spend and which are shelfware. Typort shows tokens and estimated spend per person and per tool, with allowances.
Do both sort the work?
Yes. Harmonic groups prompts into tasks and use cases built from each company's activity. Typort sorts chats into a fixed set of kinds of work, such as client emails, writing new copy, analysis and coding.
Can Typort block a prompt?
No. Typort shows what went in after the fact, with flags and client rules marked broke or close. If you need a paste or a prompt stopped before it is sent, use a tool built to block.
Which AI tools does Typort see?
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok in the browser, through the Typort browser extension. Microsoft 365 Copilot capture is built and comes in the next extension update. It reads what is on the page, so it works on Business and Team seats and needs no API keys from the AI vendors.
Are the dollar figures exact?
No, they are estimates from the tokens in each chat at the AI vendor's API list price. A chat page cannot show system prompts, hidden reasoning, attachments or tool calls, so the figures are a floor. They are there to compare people and tools, not to replace the invoice.
Can staff see what the company sees?
Yes. The five switches are shown to everyone in plain words on their first screen, and every time an admin or team leader opens someone's chat, it is recorded. Chats in the AI's own temporary or incognito mode are never collected.
What does the team view cost?
The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
