Create the Intent product page with hero section, feature sections, and download CTA.

I'll create the Intent product page. Let me set up the route and build each section.

Update the hero with a high-fidelity app mockup and fix the overlapping content issue.

I'll redesign the hero section with a detailed mockup. Spawning an agent to handle this.

Created 3-panel app mockup with theme support

2d ago

Implement an interactive UI mockup for the hero section. Also need to build the mobile responsive view for the entire page.

I'll break this into two parallel tasks. Let me spawn sub-agents to work on each:

Building interactive Intent app mockup with 3-panel layout

// intent-app-mockup.tsx

export function IntentAppMockup() {

return (

Implementing responsive breakpoints for all page sections

// Updating hero-section.tsx

Both agents are working in parallel. Current progress:

• Hero Mockup: Creating 20/40/40 panel layout with theme support
• Mobile View: Adding responsive classes to all 7 sections

NOTES / Spec

Intent Product Page Specification

Overview

Create a product page for Intent — Augment's new macOS desktop app that enables spec-driven development with AI agents. This is a Research Preview launch.

Product Information (from research)

What is Intent?

• macOS desktop app for spec-driven development
• Features workspaces, parallel agents, git operations
• Built on the philosophy that specs become the source of truth
• Currently macOS (Apple Silicon) only, Windows coming later

Core Messaging

• Paradigm shift: "For decades, developers worked at the level of code. Now we can work at the level of Intent."
• Research Preview: Early access, expect rough edges
• Spec-driven development: A new paradigm where specifications drive implementation

Current Tasks

Round 2 Feedback (High Priority)

UI/Design Fixes:

□ Fix SDD Section CTA — Change from Martin Fowler link

□ Fix Download Section Footer — Use same CTA pattern

□ Fix Windows Waitlist Button — Use variant="outline-inverted"

□ Fix Apple Icon — Use official Apple logo SVG

Specs that evolve with your code

Traditional specs rot the moment code ships. Intent's 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 No more outdated PRDs.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 spec is the source of truth because it maintains itself.

Coordinator orchestrates. Specialists execute.

Intent's multi-agent model mirrors how teams actually work.

The Coordinator breaks down your spec into tasks. Specialist agents execute in parallel, each in their own context. The Coordinator keeps everything aligned and handles handoffs.

Run as many agents as the task needs. Intent keeps them in sync.

Everything in 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. Custom tiling layouts so you can arrange your workspace exactly how you think.

Pick up exactly where you left off

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.

The right model for the job

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.

New Paradigm

What is Spec-Driven Development?

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

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

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