Just when I think I\u2019ve grasped the full landscape of AI coding assistants, another compelling tool I\u2019d never encountered invariably surfaces. <\/span>codename goose<\/b><\/a> (hereafter \u201cGoose\u201d), an open-source agent used weekly by 5,000 Block employees, shows what happens when you give an LLM a toolbox. Built at Block (formerly Square) and released under an MIT licence in January 2025, Goose <\/span>runs locally<\/b> on engineers\u2019 machines and pairs large-language-model reasoning with a growing library of tool integrations to form a flexible automation platform. That blend turns the agent into a workhorse capable of tackling everything from autonomous code fixes to lightning-fast incident response, converting maintenance drudgery into review-only work. Thanks to the Model Context Protocol, Goose is a blank slate: its capabilities are defined entirely by whichever tools it plugs into, rather than by hard-coded specialties. The heavily edited conversation that follows with <\/span>Jackie Brosamer<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Brad Axen<\/span><\/a>, members of the team behind Goose, unpacks how the project came together, what it means for enterprise automation, and where it is heading next.<\/span><\/p>\n
