Goose
Open-source terminal-first AI agent from Block for autonomous coding
About
Goose is an open-source AI agent from Block that works as a terminal-first coding assistant. Rather than autocomplete, it executes tasks autonomously in your terminal: running commands, editing files, making multi-file changes, reading error logs, and self-correcting when commands fail. Goose supports multiple providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Ollama, and integrates with Claude Code or Google Gemini CLI subscriptions. It includes MCP support for tools, APIs, databases, and browser automation, with session management for conversation context and state.
