The difference is that āintend doing somethingā is simply not correct. āIntend to do somethingā would be the best way to say it, with āintend on doing somethingā being a little awkward here but acceptable.
The second is correct; the first is ungrammatical but can be corrected by replacing āintendā by āintentā.
