What if your AI agent could order your lunch. Well it can now with the Neighborhood MCP server. Check out our post showing you how it works and make sure you give it a try yourself.

Heard of WebMCP?
It's a new standard from Chrome that bridges AI agents and websites. Instead of AI guessing how to click buttons, sites can declare what actions they support.
Join Rizel today as she explore how we can use it with goose.

What if your AI agent could order lunch? 🥑
We connected Goose to Square's Neighborhood MCP App. Now it can find nearby restaurants, browse real menus, and build your order.
Avocado toast with feta? It's on the way!
Try it out ⬇️
Just ordered lunch without leaving my AI agent 🤯 With the Neighborhood extension in goose, I found nearby restaurants, browsed menus with images right in the chat, and added my orders to the cart, all from a simple prompt. The future of AI-powered food ordering is here 🍜🥗

Still running one agent at a time like it's 2025?
We took the vision of Gas Town and built Goosetown: a lean multi-agent orchestration layer for goose.
Goosetown orchestrates subagents across worktrees so you can run flocks, not babysit a single thread.

With the Playwright CLI skill you can ask goose in natural language to do browser automation and even generate tests.

Happy Friday!
Let's see what's up next in goose programming.
In this video, we show how to set up @playwright.dev Skills to browse the web and record traces and video, and turn agent actions into real tests. Agentic testing in action.

One shot prompting died the moment we tried to build something real.
A clever prompt can’t compensate for broken context.
Check out the blog to learn the workflow that replaced it,
so your agent stops forgetting and your work stops resetting.

Code Mode was trending for weeks.
Most devs don't know what it is.
What people think:
❌ An MCP replacement
❌ Faster execution
What it actually is:
✅ A pattern built on MCP
✅ Batched tool calls
✅ Fewer tokens

Everyone's buying Mac Minis to run OpenClaw.
@blackgirlbytes.bsky.social built her own version using goose as the backend instead.
She used the RPI method to stop the agent from hallucinating non-existent APIs and wrote about it: block.github.io/goose/blog/2026/02/06/rpi-openclaw-alternative
There are 4 quadrants of AI usage:
• Learning Zone
• Thinking Ahead
• Underutilizing
• Frontier
