Goose is a general-purpose open-source AI agent that runs locally on macOS, Linux, and Windows as a native desktop app, a CLI, and an API. Originally built at Block and now governed by the vendor-neutral Agentic AI Foundation at the Linux Foundation, it is written in Rust and handles coding, research, automation, and data analysis tasks. It connects to 15+ LLM providers - Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, OpenRouter, Azure, Bedrock - and can reuse existing Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini subscriptions through the Agent Client Protocol. The extension story is the differentiator: 70+ MCP extensions connect it to databases, browsers, GitHub, and Google Drive, and extensions can render interactive UIs inside the desktop app. With 45,000+ GitHub stars and 500+ contributors, it is the most mature foundation-governed agent you can run entirely on your own machine.
