What is Goose? - Gooseworks

Goose is the AI agent at the heart of Gooseworks. It’s not a chatbot that forgets everything after each conversation — it’s a persistent coworker that operates from its own workspace with files, email, memory, and tools.

How you interact with Goose

Your primary interface is the chat. You type what you need, and Goose figures out how to get it done — using its skills, files, research tools, and integrations. Goose can:

Stream responses in real time as it works
Show you interactive widgets like data tables, email drafts, and action buttons
Ask you for clarification when it needs more context
Create and modify files in your workspace
Draft and send emails on your behalf

Goose is workspace-aware

Everything Goose does happens within your workspace. Your files, chat history, skills, environment variables, and memory all persist — so the next time you chat, Goose already knows your context. This means work compounds. The research Goose does today is available tomorrow. The skills you build this week save you time next week.
