Goose and the Agentic AI Foundation with Brad Axen
Published 23 Feb 2026
Duration: 29:53
The development and application of AI tools, such as Goose AI, in software development is explored, highlighting challenges and opportunities in using AI-generated code and the evolving role of developers.
Episode Description
Josh chats with Brad Axen from Block about his creation Goose as well as the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF). I am quite skeptical of many AI claims, but...
Overview
The podcast discusses the advancement and application of agentic AI tools, particularly focusing on Goose AI, an AI coding assistant developed by Block (formerly Square). This tool enables users to build code and manage tasks through both command-line and graphical user interface methods, reflecting a shift in software development where users can convey their needs in natural language rather than writing code manually. However, achieving reliable results requires precise instructions and iterative refinement, as AI-generated code can have quality issues, especially in open-source projects, highlighting the need for improved code review practices.
The conversation also addresses broader efforts to standardize AI agent interactions, including initiatives like the Agentic AI Foundation, which is working on protocols such as MCP and ACP. Goose AI is presented as an example of these protocols in action. The discussion emphasizes the importance of human oversight in AI-assisted coding and considers the evolving role of developers as AI tools become more integrated into the development process. Looking ahead, the podcast anticipates more intuitive and efficient interfaces for AI-driven software development.
