Discover Goose: Automate your developer setup with this AI agent

How this developer agent saves me time by automating tasks.

Goose is an open source AI agent that automates tedious tasks like setting up development environments. Instead of spending time on manual configuration, users simply tell Goose what’s needed, and it handles the setup. This time-saving tool allows developers to focus more on coding and less on setup.

So I’ve been using this new open source funny AI tool that’s different than some of the editors that I’ve been using. So this one is called Goose. And it’s actually an agent that helps automate some tasks. So for example, if you need to get set up with a new environment or something like that, that’s never fun. You just want to get to the coding part, right? And so this agent called Goose, you can say like, “Hey, set my environment up to do X, Y, and Z.” And it’ll not just tell you the task, but it’ll actually do them for you. So that’s what I’m excited about right now.
