Reference architecture: a company on intentic
Zoom out and the same shape repeats at every level: a co-piloted sandbox per role and per team, each connecting to a small set of shared services. It's a topology you assemble, not a template you click.
The pattern
One specialized agent is a sandbox with tools, system access, and curated context (the autonomous-employee recipe). A whole company is that recipe applied org-wide: give every role and every team its own co-piloted sandbox, and connect them all to a small set of shared services: code, chat, docs, secrets. Nothing here is a new feature; it's the primitives you already have, wired together.
How it maps to shipping features
- Role & team sandboxes. One sandbox per function or team: Operations, Governance, Customer & Market, each product team, each customer. A reviewed sandbox definition can stamp out their shared repo, connection and environment shape without copying credentials; each new owner completes the trust decisions locally. Automations wake them, and one run can fire the webhook that wakes the next, so work moves through specialized hands.
- Human in the loop. Autonomy is co-piloted, so you drive and watch every sandbox from one browser. A dedicated Agent Governance sandbox carries the rules the others operate under and the restricted secrets they are granted. Supervision is a sandbox pointed at the rest, not a privileged control plane.
- Shared services. A small set of services the fleet leans on: GitHub for code, Discord for collaboration, Outline for docs, Infisical for secrets. They are plain services the agents connect to through explicit capabilities, not a control plane the fleet provisions. Credentials stay per-box.
- Tools & outputs. Email, documents (Outline), and dashboards are capabilities the agents operate; every credential stays inside the sandbox that uses it.
Start with one sandbox and one role. The org chart above isn't a switch you flip; it's what a company looks like once you've specialized enough agents and connected them to shared services, one primitive at a time. See Quickstart to bring the first one up.
