Goose

Goose is an open-source, locally running AI agent developed by Block that automates end-to-end engineering tasks. It operates entirely on your machine, ensuring data privacy and security. Goose can be used with any LLM by bringing your own API keys, and it integrates with MCP extensions to expand its capabilities. Core capabilities include automating complex engineering workflows, executing code, managing files, and interacting with development tools—all while keeping data local. It supports a wide range of LLMs, giving users flexibility to choose the model that best fits their needs. Goose is ideal for developers and engineers who want to leverage AI for coding assistance without relying on cloud services, especially those working on sensitive projects or requiring fine-grained control over their AI tools. It is also well-suited for teams looking to integrate AI into their development pipelines with minimal overhead.
