Goose v1.38.0 Changelog

This release is all about giving you more choices and better control over how you interact with Goose. Whether you are a student coding your first app, a creator experimenting with different AI models, or someone who wants a cleaner chat history, this update makes Goose much more flexible, secure, and customizable.

What's new

• New AI Providers: You can now connect Goose to even more AI engines, including Perplexity, Alibaba (Qwen), Databricks, NEAR AI, and Scaleway.
• Easy Logins (OAuth): Added simple, secure login screens for Hugging Face and xAI (SuperGrok) so you don't have to manually copy and paste secret API keys.
• Slash Commands: You can now type /model to switch AI models in the middle of a chat, or /goal to make the AI self-evaluate its work before it finishes a task.
• Deep Links: You can now use special links (like goose://new-session or goose://resume) to open Goose directly to a specific chat from your web browser or other notes.
• Scholar Sidekick: A new extension designed to help you search for academic papers and research.
• Image Reader: Goose can now read and process images directly.
• Local Code Reviews: A new goose review command lets the AI look over your local code files and give you feedback on how to improve them.

Improvements

• Terminal Interface (TUI) Upgrades: Added a retro-style text interface with a built-in "diff viewer" (a tool that highlights the exact differences between two versions of code).
• Better Chat Management: You can now search your chat history, import old sessions, and filter your chat list by keywords.
• Smarter Tool Summaries: Instead of showing a long, messy list of every single action the AI took, Goose now groups consecutive steps into a single, clean summary card.
• Proactive Logins: Goose will now automatically refresh your login tokens in the background so you don't have to log back in every time you open the app.
• Custom Limits: You can now set limits on how much code or tool output Goose displays at once, keeping your screen from getting cluttered.
