They're looking for ambitious ideas such as:
- new interaction models (e.g. sketches, voice with emotional cues, multimodal input);
- Self-flying agents with long-running autonomy, deeper planning and code rewriting.
- Agents that can improve themselves (think Absolute Zero and Darwinian evolution).
- Automation tools that connect agents to the physical world (e.g. smart homes, robots and 3D printers).

Grant terms:
• 12 months per project
- Milestone-based payouts (quarterly check-ins).
• Open worldwide
• Individuals and small teams welcome, even if you only have a rough idea.
• Rolling applications — no deadline

This is worth checking out if you're into open-source AI, agent autonomy, or building creative tools on top of LLMs.

This is a strong call for innovation. I admire how the project promotes open source autonomy and meaningful human AI interaction. Definitely a great opportunity for serious builders.

We're looking for clear, compelling, and ambitious ideas that align with goose’s values: openness, modularity, and user empowerment.

We'd love to see proposals that explore novel ways of interacting with AI agents. Here are just a few examples:

Above all, we want to fund work that aligns with these values and demonstrates an open-source-first mindset

> We'd love to see proposals that explore novel ways of interacting with AI agents. Here are just a few examples:
> 
> - New interaction paradigms: interact with goose through sketches (white boarding!), camera, voice interactions that pay attention to emotions or other multi-modal interactions
> - Self-flying: increase autonomy by adding a long-running background mode, experimenting with new intermediate states, deep planning, and tools to support such operation
> - Self improving agents: efforts like absolute zero, the godel Darwin machine and alphaevolve show how agents can improve themselves. Help goose rewrite its system prompt, its MCP servers and maybe its own code
> - Automate everything: give goose tools to interact with the real world for home automation, robots or 3D printing.
