goose

goose is an open-source agent that runs on the user's computer. It is available as a desktop application, a command-line tool, and an API for embedding agent capabilities into other workflows.

The agent can help edit code, execute commands, analyze information, and handle multi-step tasks. MCP integrations extend its capabilities by connecting it to tools and external services.

Users can configure a supported language model provider, including local models through Ollama. This lets developers adapt the environment to their workflow and decide which tools the agent can use.

goose itself is free and open source, but hosted model providers may charge separately. File access and command execution require appropriate permissions, and actions affecting important data should be reviewed.
