Block just open sourced Berd, the desktop app its teams use internally to work with AI agents across projects, skills, tools, and models.
"We had access to increasingly capable agents through tools such as Goose, Claude Code, and Codex, but working with them meant navigating different interfaces, configuration systems, and ways of managing context. The technology was powerful, but the experience around it was fragmented."
Berd brings conversations, files, instructions, agents, and skills together in one place with persistent projects. Built on top of Goose, the open source agent framework Block contributed to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation.
Berd connects to Goose through the Agent Client Protocol, handling the desktop experience while Goose runs the underlying agent loop.
@blocks also recently released Buzz, a separate open source workspace for collaborative agent work. Berd is where you start alone. Buzz is where you go multiplayer.
Today we open sourced our no 1 used internal tool, berd. An agent where you can byo harness/models while keeping your work and context in one place, in an unhinged environment where you can build your dream team of agents. Try it out at https://t.co/WFgDWxTZPu!
