an open source, extensible AI agent that goes beyond code suggestions - install, execute, edit, and test with any LLM
Goose is an open-source, general-purpose AI agent built in Rust that runs locally as a native desktop app (macOS, Linux, Windows), a CLI, or an embeddable API. It goes beyond code assistance to handle research, writing, automation, and data analysis tasks by executing actions directly on the user's machine. Goose connects to over 15 LLM providers, including Anthropic's Claude via API key or subscription, and expands its capabilities through more than 70 extensions using the Model Context Protocol standard. Users can also connect providers through the ACP protocol for existing subscriptions. A notable detail is its support for custom distributions, allowing teams to ship preconfigured versions of goose with preset providers, extensions, and branding. Now governed under the Agentic AI Foundation at the Linux Foundation, goose suits developers, researchers, and teams who want a self-hosted, provider-agnostic agent with broad integration support rather than a single-vendor tool.
Open-source extensible AI agent (desktop/CLI/API) that installs, executes, edits, and tests code with any LLM, now under the Agentic AI Foundation.

goose is a general-purpose AI agent that runs on your machine. Not just for code — use it for research, writing, automation, data analysis, or anything you need to get done.
A native desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows. A full CLI for terminal workflows. An API to embed it anywhere. Built in Rust for performance and portability.
goose works with 15+ providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, OpenRouter, Azure, Bedrock, and more. Use API keys or your existing Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini subscriptions via [ACP](https://goose-docs.ai/docs/guides/acp-providers). Connect to 70+ extensions via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) open standard.
goose is part of the [Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF)](https://aaif.io/) at the Linux Foundation.
