Introduction to Intent Architect

Intent Architect is the first end-to-end control plane for agentic .NET software development.

It's the platform .NET teams use to turn AI into a well-governed, repeatable, and enterprise-scale software delivery system, using their preferred service providers and coding harnesses.

It brings reliable architectural guardrails, authoritative design blueprints, and advanced governance tools to agentic development – giving teams the control they need to scale AI-driven velocity, without compromising on quality and accountability.

Overview

Getting started

Key Concepts

  • Reliable Architectural Guardrails

    Safeguard codebase quality and maintainability. Intent Architect's advanced guardrail system combines both deterministic and probabilistic enforcement to ensure architectural adherence without adding to the validation burden, and scales across teams without developers having to internalize their standards and context files to validate agentic adherence.

    Reliable Architectural Guardrails
  • Authoritative Design Blueprints

    Stay on top of your system's design and minimize technical and cognitive debt. Living blueprints give you an always-accurate visualisation of your design, making architectural decisions explicit and visible to the whole team. And provide an intuitive way to consistently confirm whether agents are meeting your specifications and making good design decisions.

    Authoritative Design Blueprints
  • Advanced Validation Tools

    Streamline validation and alleviate delivery bottlenecks. Denoise the review process and focus on the things that matter most, e.g., design shifts, architectural shifts and high-risk changes. Teams aren't overwhelmed by large PRs, don't just rubberstamp code, and never push significant risk downstream.

    Advanced Validation Tools
  • Spec-Driven Development with Traceability

    Go from requirements to production-ready code, step by step, with full traceability. Drive agentic development with high-quality specifications that are easier to comprehend and traceability features that answer the why – exactly which requirements drove which code, and vice versa.

Gareth Baars, founder and CEO of Intent Architect, shares some of the recent enhancements to the platform, focused on the agentic workflow experience – specifically, how we make it better for the human in the loop. It focuses on three key areas: inbox-style agent management, richer visual communication with AI, and pull requests in-app, with enriched context.

What's covered in this demo - how to:

  • Enhance your SDD and planning processes
  • Streamline your GitHub & Azure DevOps PR reviews using our integrated design & architecture aware Review Changes feature.
  • Leverage traceability to understanding the "Why" behind changes
  • And much more...
