Fixa is a cloud-native AI coding agent that goes beyond code completion to handle end-to-end project scaffolding, deployment, and iterative refinement — all without any local setup. Launched on Product Hunt today, it lets developers describe a project in plain language and returns a running, deployed application within minutes. Unlike Bolt, Replit, or Lovable — which run in browser-based sandboxes — Fixa provisions real cloud infrastructure (compute, database, CDN) on your behalf and maintains persistent agent state between sessions. You can leave a session and return to find the agent has continued iterating on your project based on usage data it collected from real traffic. The differentiator is the feedback loop: Fixa monitors the deployed app's error logs and user interactions and proactively proposes fixes or improvements without being asked. It supports Node.js, Python, and Go projects, connects to GitHub for version control, and integrates with Stripe, Supabase, and Cloudflare out of the box.

Intent
Describe a feature. Agents build, verify, and ship it — in parallel.

Intent, from Augment Code, reimagines the coding agent as an orchestrated team rather than a single assistant. You write a feature spec in plain language. A Coordinator Agent breaks it into tasks. Specialist Agents execute those tasks in parallel inside isolated git worktrees. A Verifier Agent checks results against your original spec before surfacing anything for your review. The spec is "living" — it updates as work progresses, and when requirements change, updates propagate to all active agents. This is meaningfully different from one-shot prompting or even multi-step agentic coding. Intent is designed for enterprise teams working on large codebases where a single feature might touch dozens of files across multiple services. The built-in Chrome browser lets agents preview local changes without leaving the workspace. It integrates with existing git workflows rather than replacing them. Launched in public beta February 2026 (macOS only, Windows on waitlist), Intent got its highest visibility yet when it hit Product Hunt with 302 votes this week. Augment Code has been quietly building toward this: their previous focus on large-enterprise codebase indexing gives Intent's retrieval layer an advantage over agents starting from scratch.
Reviewer scorecard
“The persistent agent state between sessions is genuinely new — most AI coding tools forget everything when you close the tab. The automatic error monitoring and proactive fix proposals are early-stage but already useful for catching dumb mistakes in side projects.”
“The parallel worktree approach is genuinely smart — agents don't step on each other, and the living spec means you're not herding a single agent through a long task linearly. For features that touch multiple modules, this could cut agent coding time dramatically. macOS-only is a real limitation though.”
“Letting an AI agent autonomously modify production code based on user behavior data is a significant trust leap. The free tier is one project, and cloud infrastructure costs aren't fully transparent at signup. Wait until the auto-deploy feature has more community vetting before pointing it at anything real.”
“Multi-agent coordination sounds great until the Verifier Agent approves something the Specialist Agents hallucinated together. Coordinated AI errors are harder to catch than single-agent errors because they have the veneer of consensus. I'd want to see extensive user testing on real enterprise codebases before trusting this in production.”
“This is what 'AI-native software development' actually looks like — not just autocomplete, but an agent that's accountable for the running system. The feedback loop from production traffic to code changes is a glimpse at how most software will be maintained in five years.”
“Intent is the most concrete vision I've seen of what software development looks like when the unit of work is a feature spec, not a file edit. The living spec abstraction — where truth lives in intent, not implementation — will age well. This is the direction the whole industry is heading.”
“For non-technical creators who want to ship a product without learning DevOps, Fixa removes the biggest friction points: hosting, databases, and deployment. I spun up a newsletter landing page with a waitlist in under 10 minutes.”
“The built-in browser for previewing changes without leaving the workspace is a small detail that shows good UX thinking. For product builders who move between design specs and implementation, having a feature spec drive coordinated agent work — and seeing a live preview — is exactly the kind of tight loop that makes creative work faster.”
