What Intent Forge does in one sentence

Intent Forge is a Goal-Oriented Action Planning framework for Unreal Engine 5: you declare goals (target world states) and actions (preconditions + effects), and a planner invents the action sequence that gets the agent from where it is to where the goal wants it.

The result is smarter, more emergent AI than a hand-authored tree — with less hand-authoring work as the action set grows.
