What it is
Goose is an AI agent you run locally on your own machine, either as a desktop app, a command-line tool, or an API you can embed. It can install software, run commands, edit files, and test code, and it also handles research, writing, and data work. It connects to more than 15 model providers, including local ones through Ollama, and extends itself through MCP servers. Developers and other people who want an agent they control use it to automate work in the terminal or on the desktop with the model of their choice.
