Living Plans & Product Profile

tl;dr: Your intents now read like a living plan file, and your agents finally know what your company actually does.

Published Wednesday, July 15, 2026

Intents used to be a pile of good ideas. Now they're a plan you can watch execute. Every intent carries an ordered, dependency-aware checklist — milestone-grain slices, gated by real dependencies, rendered as one living plan surface. Implementers work down it item by item and report progress as they go: strikethrough for done, "blocked by" chips when something upstream isn't ready, and a badge when an executor (not a human) proposes the next step. A background reconcile loop keeps the whole thing coherent while work is in flight, so the plan you're looking at is the plan as it actually stands — not a stale snapshot someone forgot to update.

The guardrails are the fun part. Executors can report progress and flag blockers, but they can never mark something shipped — that's earned when the code actually merges, not when a bot feels optimistic. When every item reaches a terminal state, the engine drafts a closing recommendation and hands it to you. It never auto-closes anything. You still decide; the plan just keeps honest books.

The other half of this release fixes a day-one embarrassment: agents that answered your questions from a blank slate, with zero idea what your company builds. Enter the product profile — a short, agent-led interview where you dump context, the agent structures it, and you sign off on the exact wording before anything saves. It lives as a versioned document with full history, editable as raw markdown (with conflict handling if two tabs fight), and refinable through chat whenever your product shifts. Drop a URL in and the agent will fetch and read the page for you, behind strict safety checks that refuse to go poking at anything it shouldn't.

Once it's filled in, that profile gets pinned above everything else your interactive agents see — so Slack answers, portal chats, and the rest start from your reality instead of guessing. A gentle onboarding banner nudges you to set it up, then gets out of the way the moment you add anything. Two things unlocked here: intents that report their own progress, and agents that actually know who they're working for.

Two upgrades, one theme: less guessing, more knowing. Go fill in your profile — your agents will thank you.
