Using Goose for Free
Goose is a free and open-source developer agent that you can start using right away, but not all supported LLM Providers provide a free tier.
Below, we outline a couple of free options and how to get started with them.
Google Gemini
Google Gemini provides free access to its AI capabilities with some limitations. To start using the Gemini API with Goose, you need an API Key from Google AI studio.
Update your ~/.config/goose/profiles.yaml file with the following configuration:
default:
provider: google
processor: gemini-1.5-flash
accelerator: gemini-1.5-flash
moderator: passive
toolkits:
- name: developer
requires: {}
When you run goose session start, you will be prompted to enter your Google API Key.
Note
At the moment, the
synopsistoolkit isn't supported by Google Gemini, so we use thedevelopertoolkit to interact with the API.
Limitations
These free options are a great way to get started with Goose and explore its capabilities. However, if you need more advanced features or higher usage limits, you can always upgrade to a paid plan.
This guide will continue to be updated with more free options as they become available. If you have any questions or need help with a specific provider, feel free to reach out to us on Discord or on the Goose repo.
