Block's open-source on-machine AI agent just hit v1.29, introducing Gemini ACP (Agent Client Protocol) support so you can run the full Goose agent stack using your existing Google subscription — no separate API key needed. It also added orchestration for sub-agents, adversarial agent mode to prevent information leaks, delegate sub-agent log display, and macOS sandboxing. With 35k+ GitHub stars and Rust-based architecture, Goose goes far beyond autocomplete: it builds projects, writes and executes code, manages files, and calls external APIs autonomously. The ACP approach means your Goose extensions are passed directly to Gemini, deepening the connection compared to plain CLI usage.

Jet AI Agents is a no-code platform for building and deploying business AI agents across marketing, sales, operations, and support workflows. Teams connect it to their data sources, drag-and-drop UI components into place, and deploy agents that take action rather than just display dashboards. It integrates with 200+ tools including Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, and popular CRMs. Backed by Y Combinator and built by founders Anton Svetlov and Denis Kildishev, Jet supports both Claude (Anthropic) and OpenAI models as its inference layer, giving teams flexibility on which LLM powers their agents. The platform maintains a 4.43-star rating on Product Hunt with users praising its low learning curve and ability to handle complex external data source integrations without engineering help. Jet AI Agents debuted at #2 on Product Hunt's daily leaderboard on April 27, 2026. For non-technical business teams that want to automate multi-step workflows across SaaS tools — without filing tickets to engineering — Jet offers a polished on-ramp with a free tier to start. The YC backing suggests runway for the enterprise integrations that will make or break the platform.
Reviewer scorecard
“This is exactly the architecture I want: a local agent that doesn't lock me into one AI provider's billing. The Gemini ACP integration means my Google One subscription now funds actual dev automation. The adversarial agent mode is also clever — finally an agent that polices itself before it nukes your filesystem.”
“YC pedigree and 200+ integrations is a solid combination. The dual Claude/OpenAI model support means you're not locked in, and the API-first architecture makes it extensible beyond the visual builder. Worth a pilot for ops teams tired of Zapier's limitations.”
“Multi-agent orchestration sounds great until you're debugging a cascade failure at 2am wondering which sub-agent hallucinated first. The 35k stars are real but so is the complexity overhead. Claude Code and Cursor 3 have more polish for day-to-day use — Goose still feels like a power-user project.”
“The no-code agent builder space is brutally competitive — n8n, Make, Relay, and a dozen YC graduates are fighting for the same seat. 'Build in minutes' claims rarely survive contact with enterprise data schemas. Test your actual use case before committing.”
“The ACP subscription model is the thin edge of a wedge that eventually makes AI provider lock-in irrelevant. When agents can switch between Claude, Gemini, and GPT seamlessly based on cost and availability, the moat moves to the orchestration layer. Block is quietly building that layer in the open.”
“Business teams that can build and own their own agents without engineering dependencies is a structural shift in how companies will operate. Jet is betting on the right abstraction layer capturing this market — YC's validation makes the bet credible.”
“The MCP Apps and rich UI stuff is interesting for creative workflows, but Goose is fundamentally a developer tool. The learning curve before it does anything useful for non-devs is steep. I'll check back when the Neighborhood Extension for ordering food is the least niche thing it can do.”
“As someone who runs content workflows across Slack, Notion, and Google Workspace, having an agent that takes action across all three without code is genuinely useful. The visual builder is clean and the free tier gives enough to prototype a real workflow.”
