Intent - Build with Intent

Public Beta

GPT-5.4. Free for a limited time in Intent

A developer workspace where agents are coordinated, specs stay alive, and every workspace is isolated.

BUILD WITH A LIVING SPEC

Your spec is the source of truth. It stays that way.

Traditional specs rot the moment code ships. Living specs don't.

When an agent completes work, the spec updates to reflect reality. When requirements change, updates propagate to all active agents.

No more "what did we decide?" No more outdated PRDs. The living spec is the source of truth because it maintains itself.

BUILD WITH A COORDINATED TEAM

A coordinator plans. Specialists execute. A verifier checks.

A Coordinator agent breaks down your spec into tasks, and delegates to Implementors that can run in waves. A Verifier agent checks the results against the spec. The Coordinator keeps them aligned and handles handoffs.

You can customize this to bring in your own specialist agents, and control how they're orchestrated.

BUILD IN ONE PLACE

Code, browser, terminal, and git. One window.

Stop switching between your IDE, terminal, browser, and git client.

Intent has a built-in Chrome browser for previewing local changes. Git integration for staging, committing, and branch management.

BUILD WITHOUT LOSING STATE

Close it. Reopen tomorrow. Everything is exactly where you left it.

Resumable sessions mean your workspace state persists across sessions. Close Intent, reopen it tomorrow, and everything is exactly as you left it.

Auto-commit captures work as it completes. Branch management is built-in. Your progress is always saved.

BUILD WITH THE RIGHT MODEL

Opus for architecture. Sonnet for speed. Pick per task.

Not every task needs the same model. Use Opus for complex architecture, Sonnet for rapid iteration, GPT 5.2 for deep code analysis or code review.

Intent supports all major state-of-the-art models. Mix and match based on what each task needs.

BUILD WITH YOUR OWN AGENTS

Bring Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode. No Augment subscription required.

Already have a Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode subscription? Use them directly in Intent. Try the full workspace experience without an Augment subscription.

You'll miss some powerful features like the Context Engine, but you can explore spec-driven development and agent orchestration for free.

BUILD WITH DEEP CONTEXT

Every agent sees your entire codebase.

Every agent in Intent is powered by our industry-leading Context Engine. Whether it's the coordinator planning your work or specialists executing tasks, they all share deep understanding of your entire codebase.

New Paradigm

What is Spec-Driven Development?

Spec-Driven Development puts living specs at the center of your workflow.

Instead of writing code and hoping it matches the plan, you write a living spec and let agents implement it. As they work, the spec updates to reflect what was actually built.

The result: living specs that are always accurate, agents that stay aligned, and code that matches intent.
