Context isn't intent.

AI writes code. Humans write software.

Git for code. Igni for intent.

Agents can write the code. They cannot own the calls.

Every implementation is full of judgment: tradeoffs, constraints, patterns, exceptions.

So teams add more context, add more review, and let agents plan and check each other. But the call still happens out of sight: inside a run, inside a review, or buried in the code.

That is not directing software. It is finding out after the call has already been made.

Igni is the intent layer: where those calls stay connected to code, visible to agents, and shaped with humans as reality changes.

Not better context. Not blind trust. Infrastructure for intent.

The loop in motion

The moment a tradeoff becomes intent.

Agentic development does not need more places to watch work happen. It needs a place for judgment to become part of the work.

01

The work pushes back.

The work reveals what the plan missed — before it becomes a quiet choice in code.

02

Humans and agents shape the call.

Human judgment and agent reasoning meet on the same live surface — not a diff handed back hours later.

03

The call is now in force.

Not a note, transcript, or memory — graph-connected intent that future work has to build against.

What makes it work

One layer. Three jobs.

The intent layer has to connect judgment to code, let reality push back, and keep humans in the work while the call is still open.

Intent Graph

Where calls become force-bearing structure.

Decisions, patterns, and constraints stay connected from strategy to code through typed relationships agents can act on.

Without it: intent is scattered context.

Intent Loop

The bridge between intent and code.

Agents build from graph-connected intent. What implementation reveals can change the call while work is live.

Without it: intent goes stale as reality changes.

Intent Stage

Where humans stay in the work.

Humans and agents share the same live surface while the call is still open. Changes can stay isolated until merge.

Without it: humans find out too late.

Early access

For teams running agents on code that matters.

Onboarding select teams now. Point Igni at your codebase.
