- url https://goose-docs.ai/
- free tier: not stated: https://goose-docs.ai/ prints no allowance, quota or price; goose is open-source software that "runs on your machine" and sends model calls to a provider the user configures | unit: none | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-30 | source: [1] | note: free-product
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: anonymous
- interface: rest, cli
- limits note: the vendor serves no inference, so nothing binds on its side; the cost is the endpoint key and the machine it runs on.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: the user installs and runs the goose desktop app (macOS, Linux, Windows) or the goose CLI on a rented or free machine, and configures a model provider with an API key or an existing subscription
- composes with: the CLI and the API mean the agent can run on a free remote machine while the model comes from a separate free inference lane, which is the composition this class exists for.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: Not a subscription: goose is a free open-source general-purpose agent whose project sells no plan, price or hosted inference; models come from a hosted provider the user configures (15 or more providers, or an existing Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini subscription), and the agent itself runs on a machine the user supplies. A candidate for coding-subs beside the other bring-your-own-key agents; no coding-subs record holds it. The docs moved from block.github.io/goose to goose-docs.ai. The desktop app and the CLI both run on a machine the user supplies. The project now lives under an aaif-goose GitHub organisation, not under block.
