Intent-Aware Code
Intelligence Engine
Project: Build a Java-first code intelligence engine that understands developer
intent, suggests precise edits, and accelerates delivery while reducing defects.
This presentation summarizes the problem, our solution, architecture, impact,
and next steps.

Our Solution: Intent-Aware Code
Understanding
We propose an engine that models developer intent at multiple levels—task,
design, and behavior—and uses that model to generate accurate, context-aware
suggestions, refactorings, and validations for Java projects.

How It Works: Architecture & Key Components
