goose FAQ

Is goose free?

goose itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use goose?

You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.

Does goose work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use goose commercially?

The licence is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
