Intent Desktop App Update: Math Rendering, Concurrent Edits, Cross-Model Retries for Multi-Agent Coding
LukeW · x · 2026-09-23
Luke Wroblewski announced a new Intent release: math rendering in chat and notes, automatic retry on a different model when hitting usage limits, concurrent note edits, browser tabs in the agent header, plus editing and reliability refinements.
Intent is a free desktop app for large-scale agent coordination built around spec-driven development: each task gets an isolated workspace whose living spec is the shared context for all agents; a coordinator agent delegates to specialized implementers, verifiers, UI designers, and PR reviewers, agents proactively start follow-up tasks, and integrated git ties together commits, reviews, and merges.
