This week, we hosted our very first Goose Meetup in Boston at the Cambridge Innovation Center. The turnout and energy exceeded all expectations! From first-time Goose users to seasoned AI engineers, attendees gathered to explore how Goose and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are shaping the future of AI automation.

I'm a developer at heart, so when I'm working on a personal project, the hardest part isn't writing code—it's making design decisions. I recently built a calendar user interface. I wanted to enhance its visual appeal, so I researched UI design trends like "glassmorphism" and "claymorphism."

However, I didn't want to spend hours implementing the CSS for each design trend, so I developed a faster approach: screenshot-driven development. I used an open source developer agent called Goose to transform my user interfaces quickly.
