Programming language
Intense is a language for AI-assisted software.
Intense explores a developer experience where agents, data, interfaces, and safety policies are first-class language concepts.

(agent RetailCopilot)
intent "reduce checkout friction"
memory scoped(customer, cart, policy)
on scan(product):
infer promotions using shop.rules
validate stock with inventory.edge
explain decision as receipt.note
guardrails:
require audit_log
deny unsafe_discountAI-native syntax
Agents, memory, policies, and explanations become explicit code structures.
Compiler IR
A typed intermediate representation can target services, edge runtimes, and model tools.
Performance intent
The language model includes latency, cost, and reliability constraints.
GitHub-ready
Roadmap includes repository actions, examples, docs, and CI playground hooks.
Compiler architecture
A documentation-ready language platform.
01
Parser
Human-readable syntax with AI workflow primitives.
02
Typed AST
Static checks for data scope, tools, and memory access.
03
Policy IR
Security, audit, and compliance rules compiled with the app.
04
Runtime planner
Latency, model routing, and execution strategy planning.
05
Targets
Next.js APIs, edge functions, JVM services, and future runtimes.
Performance benchmark model
Cold start budgetUnder 80ms for edge policy evaluation
Model routingCost-aware tool selection before execution
Audit overheadStructured logs without blocking user flow
