Block Open Source Takes Flight 🪿

We learned so much this past month. Working together to launch the Block Open Source Program Office and codename goose, as well as support the grow...

Turn your Figma designs to code in only a few steps using Goose. 🎨 Build new components, start new projects, use custom frameworks - all from your design - with Goose. Check out the full tutorial: https://block.github.io/goose/docs/tutorials/figma-mcp/

🚨 New Phone, Who Dis? 🤳📱 AI can make phone calls now?! Join us this Friday as Paulo Taylor shows how Goose + VOYP turns tool automation into real phone calls. 📺 Watch: https://linktr.ee/blockopensource

🎵 DJ? 🔍 Researcher? 📊 Data Cruncher? Not to anthropomorphize too much, but Goose can adjust system settings, play music, gather research, and parse data—all from a one-shot prompt. What experiments have you tried with Goose's Computer Controller extension? Full Tutorial: https://block.github.io/goose/docs/tutorials/computer-controller-mcp

AI is moving fast and there's a lot of terminology. Here's a straightforward 101 guide on AI Agents and the MCP Ecosystem

Agentic AI and the MCP Ecosystem

A 101 introduction to AI Agents

🧠⚡ Debugging just got a whole lot smarter! In this stream, we'll see how Tobi Vollebregt, Software Engineer at Square, used Goose to track down a sneaky BigQuery rate limit issue, without spending hours in logs. 💡 Goose pulled data, parsed responses, and generated visual plots to pinpoint the problem. 👀 📆 Feb 28 | 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET 📺 Watch live: https://linktr.ee/blockopensource

🚀 AI, but make it local with Goose and Ollama! Goose is an on-machine AI agent. When you connect Goose with Ollama, you can interact with LLMs directly on your device. Join Parth Sareen to learn how to use Goose with Ollama, plus learn how they work together under the hood. 📆 Tuesday, Feb 25, 2025 – 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET 📺 Watch live:

What if your AI agent could understand security risks instead of just spotting them? 🔥🔍 The Knowledge Graph Memory MCP Server enables Goose to analyze relationships, detect patterns, map complex connections, and actually understand your data. Full Tutorial: block.github.io/goose/docs/t...

Join us for today's livestream where Cash App engineer, Daniel Shapiro shows us how he uses Goose to easily generate new CLI tools! ➡️ https://linktr.ee/blockopensource

🔥 Goose + Google Drive MCP = Next-Level AI Automation! 🔥 By enabling the Google Drive extension, Goose can fetch, analyze, and act on your files, directly from your Drive. Watch Goose in action and imagine what YOU could automate! What’s your first use case? 🚀 Full tutorial: https://block.github.io/goose/docs/tutorials/google-drive-mcp

What happens when there’s more than one agent getting the job done? 🤔 In this stream, we’ll see how Aaron Goldsmith, Infrastructure Operations Engineer, has multiple Goose AI agents collaborate in real time! Each agent enters the chat, gets assigned a role (e.g. Project Manager, Content Designer, Engineer), and works on its part of the task. 🗓️ https://linktr.ee/blockopensource

Let's take flight! Join us for Goose Flight School - a series where we get hands-on experience building with the open source AI agent: Codename Goose. This week, we will learn how to automatically build an app from a Figma design using Goose. 🗓️ https://linktr.ee/blockopensource
