Wattenberger · x · 2026-11-07
Intent, a developer tool built on the belief that we should work in spaces rather than chat threads, marks one year as its creator's daily driver.
- Free, open source, bring-your-own-agents
- Runs on mac/windows/linux, any remote, with sleek mobile apps
- A superset of native agent capabilities via custom hooks, browser tools, freeform notes
- Built for focusing on single tasks and multitasking across 50+ workspaces; multiplayer almost shipped
Positioned as large-scale agent coordination: when AI handles the code, developers operate at the level of intent.
