Today I just shipped a batch of updates to Intent: redesigned workspace creation, GitLab support, Cursor as an agent provider, agent plugins for all providers, new Product Manager and Maintenance Coordinator agents, and usage charts broken down by cache, input, output, and thinking.

The redesigned workspace creation is the piece I keep coming back to. Why does setting up a workspace matter so much? Because chat threads break down beyond quick tasks. So in Intent the unit of work is a workspace that holds your agents (who's doing the work), context (what info they need), files (what they're working on), changes (a record of the work), plus browsers and terminals. Making that faster to spin up removes the friction from starting real work.

And faster setup matters more as the numbers grow. With isolated workspaces, focused context, agent roles, and handoffs, you can scale to many parallel workspaces across multiple devices. Not that long ago a single agent finishing a coding task felt like magic. Now we're just spraying software everywhere.

That volume creates its own problem. When everyone runs their own agents, they steer them toward their own version of things, and you end up shipping fifteen different ideas instead of one unified point of view. Part of why I like adding defined agent roles, like a Product Manager agent, is that they give the work a more consistent shape no matter who kicked it off.

So if you're building with lots of agents, give the work a clear home and make that home easy to create. Everything else scales from there.
