The author describes a phenomenon called "intent drift" where AI-assisted projects, especially when working on multiple products or using various LLMs simultaneously, can subtly diverge from their original goals. This drift occurs because AI models fill in underspecified prompts with reasonable defaults, and context decay causes models to forget past decisions. The author proposes a solution in the form of an "Intent Datadog" tool to combat this issue by providing a clear map of the project's current state and intended course. AI
