An open-source, locally run autonomous AI development agent made by Block

About

• A locally run AI agent that autonomously handles everything end to end: creating projects, running, modifying, and testing code, debugging, orchestrating workflows, and integrating with external APIs
• Supports both a Desktop app and a CLI interface on Mac/Windows/Linux
• Supports more than 20 LLM providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama, and multi-model configurations are possible; performs best with Claude 4 models
  • Supports automatic Lead/Worker model switching and Planning Mode (a dedicated model draws up a plan before execution)
• Through MCP server integration and the Extension ecosystem, features such as browser automation, file caching, and web scraping can be added flexibly
  • Also provides an ecosystem for sharing community assets such as reusable task instructions (Skills), Recipes, and the Prompt Library
• A .goosehints file provides context hints within a session, and access control settings can limit the scope of autonomous execution
• Apache 2.0 license. Rust + Typescript
