Goose
Open-source, model-agnostic local agent for coding and everyday dev tasks
About
Goose is an open-source AI agent, originally from Block and now stewarded by the Agentic AI Foundation at the Linux Foundation, that runs entirely on your machine. It goes beyond code generation: it can research, write, execute, debug, and automate multi-step workflows using 15+ model providers and 70+ MCP extensions. It is best for developers who want a capable local agent that works with the model and tools they already use.
