Overview
Intent Lab builds autonomous software automation with an AI system called Fleet that acts as an engineering team. Fleet converts natural-language intents into production-grade software, handling architecture design, coding, infrastructure deployment, testing, verification, and ongoing optimization. It differentiates itself by integrating full lifecycle management and quality checks beyond typical code generators. The goal is to deliver software tailored to a user’s constraints and workflow, streamlining AI-assisted development for clients.
