Original article

Earlier this week, I listened to an episode of the On the Block podcast, where the host, Matt Ross, Head of Investor Relations, sat down with Brad Axen, Principal Engineer for Data and Machine Learning at Block $XYZ. Brad built Goose, Block's open-source agent framework. The conversation was about how Goose got built.

This episode made me realize that Block's MoneyBot and ManagerBot aim to be the Claude Code of money.
