Goose is an open source AI agent for the command line. Give it a task in plain English and it plans the steps, then reads and writes files and runs shell commands until the job is done, using the LLM provider you configure. This Ubuntu 24.04 image gives you a private agent workstation reachable through Session Manager, with no inbound ports.
Goose is an AI agent that works from your terminal. Instead of only suggesting code, it acts: you describe a task such as 'add input validation to this service and run the tests', and Goose uses its built-in developer tools to explore the project, edit files and run commands, checking results as it goes until the task is complete.
Agents that can run commands are best kept away from your personal workstation. This image gives developers a dedicated instance in their own account where Goose can work freely on the repositories you bring, with nothing exposed to the network.
What is included: the Goose command-line agent at /usr/local/bin/goose with its built-in developer extension, ready for the LLM provider sessions you configure, plus a guide at /opt/sushi/docs/README.md. Goose opens no inbound listener, no messaging gateway is enabled and no provider credentials are included.
Getting started takes a few minutes: launch t3.medium (2 vCPU, 4 GiB RAM) with a 16 GiB or larger encrypted gp3 root volume and IMDSv2, attach an instance profile with AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore, allow outbound HTTPS and keep inbound rules closed. Connect with Session Manager and run sudo -iu ubuntu bash /opt/sushi/docs/demo.sh; Goose completes a real file-writing task against a local test model, so no paid model calls are made. Then configure your own provider credentials privately and run your first task, for example goose run --text "" --with-builtin developer. The linked Goose quickstart covers provider setup.
Pricing: a software fee of USD 0.02 per running t3.medium instance-hour. An optional five-day free trial for one concurrent instance changes software billing only and then converts to the hourly fee; the same full software is installed before and after it. This is not a separate trial or evaluation edition, and there is no product-imposed time, user or usage limit. Additional concurrent instances incur software fees. EC2, EBS, data transfer and any model-provider charges are billed separately, including during the free trial.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for independent AWS packaging, validation, maintenance and setup documentation. Goose is published by AAIF / Block under the Apache-2.0 license; Software Sushi provides the image, setup guide and packaging support and does not claim upstream endorsement. Workspace and session data stay on the root volume; back them up before replacing an instance, because a new image version does not migrate sessions or credentials.

Try this product free for 5 days according to the free trial terms set by the vendor. Usage-based pricing is in effect for usage beyond the free trial terms. Your free trial gets automatically converted to a paid subscription when the trial ends, but may be canceled any time before that.
You pay a single hourly software fee for each running instance, billed on the recommended t3.medium size (2 vCPU, 4 GiB RAM). This is a usage-based model with no upfront commitment, so charges accrue only while the instance runs. An optional five-day free trial covers the software fee for one instance, then converts to the same hourly billing. The software itself stays identical before and after the trial. EC2, EBS, data transfer, and your chosen model provider's charges are billed separately, including during the trial.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly software fee cover, and what runs on the t3.medium instance?
The fee covers the packaged command-line agent on Ubuntu 24.04, with its built-in developer tool for reading files, writing files, and running shell commands. It runs on a t3.medium instance (2 vCPU, 4 GiB RAM). You bring your own model provider; no model, credits, or keys are included.
Am I charged the hourly fee when the instance is stopped or not actively running a task?
The hourly software fee applies for each running instance. Charges stop when you stop the instance, since billing meters running time, not task activity. A stopped instance may still incur separate AWS storage fees for its encrypted root volume.
Besides the hourly software fee, what other charges should I expect?
EC2 compute, EBS storage (at least a 16 GiB encrypted gp3 root volume), and data transfer are billed separately through AWS. Your chosen model provider also charges for its own usage. These separate charges apply even during the free trial.
