Goose
Open-source AI agent from Block, now under the Linux Foundation, that automates coding via CLI or desktop app.
About
Block built goose as an internal automation agent, open sourced it, and then donated it to the Agentic AI Foundation, the Linux Foundation body it anchors alongside Anthropic's Model Context Protocol and OpenAI's AGENTS.md. The agent runs as a Rust-based CLI or as a desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows, and it goes beyond code suggestions: it installs dependencies, executes and tests code, edits files, and drives external systems through more than 70 documented MCP extensions covering databases, browsers, GitHub, and Google Drive. It is model agnostic, connecting to 15 or more providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure, Bedrock, OpenRouter, and local models through Ollama, so it can run fully offline against self-hosted weights. The project counts over 51,000 GitHub stars and 500 plus contributors, and the entire codebase is Apache-2.0 licensed with no paid tier. Teams use it for repetitive engineering work, migrations, and agentic workflows that need vendor-neutral governance.
