SCULPTING A SHAPELESS MEDIUM

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Intent, a new tool for coding with AI agents, organizes work into workspaces rather than single agent chats, aiming to keep structure in an otherwise shapeless medium. Rather than one general chatbot, the tool uses specs, specialist agents, and bundled workspaces so people can steer AI work instead of just prompting it. Since launch, users have shown mixed reactions — some confused by the new orchestration model, others finding it supercharges their workflow, while rising token costs from parallel tasks have emerged as an unexpected tradeoff.
