Goose is an AI assistant that can run on your computer and do tasks like installing software, editing files, running tests, and more. It works with different AI models and can be extended with new abilities. Think of it as a smart helper that can actually do things, not just suggest code.
Goose is an open-source, extensible AI agent developed by Block (formerly Square). It goes beyond traditional code suggestions by actively installing, executing, editing, and testing software using any large language model (LLM). Goose supports the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing it to integrate with various AI agents and tools. It is written in Rust and designed to be safe, fast, and reliable. Goose can be used for a wide range of tasks including software development, system administration, and automated testing. Its extensibility allows developers to add custom skills and connectors. With over 46,000 stars on GitHub, it is a popular choice for developers looking to automate complex workflows.
