What is the living spec in Intent?

The living spec is a self-maintaining document that serves as the source of truth for project goals, tasks, and decisions, automatically updating as code changes to ensure all agents and humans work from the same context.

Can Intent work with AI agents other than Augment's?

Yes, Intent supports other agent providers like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, though using Augment's Context Engine is recommended for enhanced semantic search capabilities in your codebase.

Is Intent available for Windows?

Currently, Intent is in public beta for macOS, with a waitlist available for the Windows version.

How does Intent handle coordination between multiple agents?

Intent uses a Coordinator agent to plan work based on the spec, with Specialist agents executing tasks in parallel and a Verifier validating results against the spec, all within isolated workspaces to prevent conflicts.

What is Intent

Intent is a developer workspace designed for AI agent-driven development, where users define features through specifications that AI agents then build, verify, and ship. It orchestrates multiple agents in isolated workspaces with integrated tools like code editors, terminals, and git, using a living spec to maintain context and coordination. This approach streamlines development by automating execution while keeping developers focused on high-level goals.

Key Features

Living spec-driven development for automated context maintenance

Multi-agent orchestration with isolated workspaces for safe experimentation

Integration with various AI agent providers such as Claude Code and OpenCode

Built-in development environment with code, terminal, and git tools

Coordinator, Specialist, and Verifier agents for planned and validated execution

Use Cases

Software developers automating coding tasks and delegating implementation to AI agents
Teams using AI for rapid prototyping and feature development in collaborative projects
Individuals managing complex codebases who need to coordinate multiple AI tools without manual context switching
Startups accelerating development cycles by leveraging AI for code generation and verification

Why do startups need this tool?

Startups often operate with limited resources and tight timelines, needing to iterate quickly on product development. Intent helps by automating coding tasks through AI agents, reducing manual effort and accelerating time-to-market. This allows small teams to scale engineering efficiently and focus on innovation rather than repetitive implementation work.
