Block has announced a complete overhaul of its open-source AI agent, codename goose, under the Apache License 2.0. This agent promotes interoperability between different user interfaces and language models, allowing developers to connect new tools dynamically mid-session. Unlike traditional closed-source solutions, goose provides flexibility in choosing large language models (LLMs) according to specific needs. It functions as an engineering agent that autonomously executes tasks such as coding, file handling, and testing, showcasing a significant advancement in developer tools.
"You can be in the middle of a conversation, realize that you need to pull in something from your Google Docs or connect it to Slack or something, and you can just, say, click through, enable a new extension, and then goose suddenly has these new capabilities it can go run with."
"Codename goose offers interoperability between user interfaces, language models, and systems, allowing users to specify any large language model (LLM) they want to use with it."
