About
Goose is an open source AI agent for developers and engineering teams. It is built to do more than suggest code: according to its documentation, it can write and execute code, debug failures, orchestrate workflows, and interact with external APIs.
Goose is notably more agentic than a typical coding assistant because it is designed to complete multi-step engineering tasks autonomously. The project also emphasizes flexibility: it supports any LLM and multi-model configuration, and it can be extended through MCP servers and APIs.
Proposes and executes multi-step plans with your approval.
