Block describes Goose as an assistant that executes instructions and automates work, especially for software developers. It can debug code, suggest changes, and integrate with tools like GitHub and Google Drive. Users can choose their preferred AI model, but Block recommends the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model from Anthropic and o1 from OpenAI.
Although Block is not traditionally associated with artificial intelligence, it is focused on working with open-source code. The company suggests that eventually Goose could be used not only for programming but also in “creative fields” such as music creation.
