Berd: The Most FUN Coding Agent YET! (By Creators of Goose & Buzz)
In this video, I'll be telling you about Berd, a new free and open-source desktop app from Block that brings AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Amp, Cursor Agent, and Goose into one single interface. -- Key Takeaways: 🚀 Block has open-sourced Berd, a new desktop app for managing AI coding agents in one place. 🧠 Berd supports multiple agent harnesses, including Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Amp, Cursor Agent, and Goose. 🎭 The app uses playful 3D agent characters and an open canvas interface instead of a traditional IDE-style layout. 🔧 You can create projects, attach folders, add context, and let coding agents work directly inside your workspace. 🤖 Berd includes built-in agents like Berdy, Copycat, Pushback, Choosey, Tinker, and Wildcard for different tasks. 🛠️ The app uses ACP, the Agent Client Protocol, so compatible agents can plug into Berd more easily. 📦 Berd is free, open source, and works with your existing subscriptions or API keys instead of charging separately. ⚠️ Since it is brand new, some setup issues can happen, like Claude Code failing during installation. 👍 Overall, Berd is a fresh and interesting way to make AI coding agents more approachable for non-technical users.
