Block, the fintech company co-founded by Jack Dorsey, has unveiled its AI agent, Goose, designed to assist engineers with coding and automating tasks. Internal use showed that Goose can complete multi-day tasks within minutes and write code more efficiently than some of Block's engineers. By making Goose open source, Block aims to democratize AI development in the finance sector. The initiative involves considerable risk but highlights the growing trend among fintechs to leverage AI for enhanced operational efficacy and innovation.
"Open source is a really big bet that we're making as a company. The risk is that openness isn't the best way to do a lot of these things."
"Goose has been used internally to automate multi-day tasks in minutes, and even write code \"better\" and \"faster\" than some of Block's top engineers."
