How it works

Goose is built to be extensible: it supports extensions that connect it to your tools, your data, and your workflows, so it can do more than just edit code. It can run tests, check documentation, and carry out routine engineering jobs, all from the terminal.

Goose is free and open source; you pay only for the model API usage you choose, or nothing with a local model. It suits developers who want a flexible, open agent they can extend to fit their workflow.
