Today is a big day for us here at Spacelift. We’ve been working hard on some very exciting new functionality. Today, we are pleased to announce Spacelift Intelligence, a set of AI capabilities built directly into the Spacelift platform. It includes two components that work together: an AI Infrastructure Assistant we’re calling Infra Assistant and a natural language deployment model called Intent.

Why This, Why Now?

IaC and GitOps are still the right foundation for managing infrastructure. That's not changing. But those workflows were designed for production. As development velocity increases, especially for experiments, sandboxes, and POCs, the IaC and GitOps pipeline starts to get clogged. AI tools have accelerated the development cycle, but infrastructure hasn’t kept up.

Spacelift Intelligence is our answer to closing this new AI-velocity gap. The goal isn't to replace your Terraform code or your GitOps workflow. It's to give you an AI-native operations layer that gives your platform team the speed of AI without sacrificing the governance, visibility, and control you depend on.

Infra Assistant

Infra Assistant is an AI chat interface embedded in Spacelift. You can ask it infrastructure-related questions and get guidance without leaving the platform.

• “Please find any public s3 buckets across all my stacks”

• “Do I have any CVE vulnerabilities in my environment?”

• “What would you recommend I do to optimize my production deployments?”

Infra Assistant is context-aware, understands your stacks, runs, and the state of your infrastructure, so answers are grounded in your actual environment rather than generic documentation. Whether you're debugging a failed run, exploring a configuration change, or trying to understand what a proposed change will do, the assistant has the context to be useful.

Spacelift Intent

Spacelift Intent is AI-powered infrastructure provisioning through natural language. Rather than asking a question and receiving an answer or getting generated Terraform code, you describe what you want your infrastructure to do. Intent interprets that, translates it into the appropriate configuration, and acts on it. No code involved at all. Intent talks directly to the providers and deploys what you need, when you need it.

• “I need an S3 bucket to store some temporary files. Adhere to any company policies.”

• “Please create and test a policy to not allow public ec2 instances.”

• “Please build 3 ec2 instances in us-west-1 so I can test a prototype.”

You speak it, and Spacelift Intent builds it. No code, no repository, no waiting. You can use Spacelift Intent by chatting with Infra assistant or have your developers connect their agent or LLM of choice to our MCP server.
