design teams have spent years trying to get people to actually read their design system documentation. agents can read them every single time they write code.

new article on design systems for agents:

Before AI: “I don’t have enough time to make everything I want.”
After AI: no change.

new in Intent today:

- provider profiles for Codex & Claude Code
- auto failover when a profile hits quota
- merge queue position & ETA for PRs
- collapse tool calls in chat
- redesigned branch picker
- bundled CLI fallback for old installs
- faster with large notes & big repos
- plus fixes & polish in release notes:
intentapp.dev/updates

@LukeW auto failover when a profile hits quota is the one i'd actually use. does the context carry over to the other agent or does it start cold?

@dng_notes picks up where it left off.

9 years of Apple Watch.

technology limits are temporary.

people buying the outcome (it drives me places) not the tool (a car) will impact lots more products esp. software.

at a high level, this is how AI upends existing companies.

why this matters for software:

iPhone Duo for reading comics.👌

in the flesh.

@LukeW Nice! Initial thoughts on the Duo?

@AndrewsLogHQ Bulky!

agents do a lot (reasoning, tool use, delegation, monitoring, etc.). how much of that work do you show people in your app's UI?

made a tool to try out different designs, tweak details, and animate them: intentapp.dev/agentwork

@LukeW As a user, I want the plan up front and a clear 'needs you' moment. The step-by-step tool calls can fold away. I only open them when something looks off.

@ChrisHe28603596 we treat the "needs you" stuff at a higher level than chat thread.

you can also share any design you make. like:
intentapp.dev/agentwork#scen…

hello, hello. hundreds of agents.

@LukeW @daniel_priscu im sure it does! and thank you 🫣🤭

i guess i just expected anything connected to you wouldnt required a user to click through (to somewhere else) to understand what the product does (given you know UX as well as anyone)...

@LaneBrainCo @daniel_priscu shouldn't.
hence the question on what's confusing so we can fix :)

@LukeW @daniel_priscu i've checked out Intent website before but it wasnt clear to me what it is. so checking out again now and hoping its the answer to my DX nighmares... 🤗

@LaneBrainCo @daniel_priscu this help?

@LukeW could you make it so that we can browse with keyboard to see different layout instead of slow mouse ticks. would love that

@semihlaki which options for which keys?
