Key Results
- 75% of engineers save 8 to 10+ hours every week using codename goose, with adoption doubling in just one month and user engagement increasing by 40-50% weekly.
- Approximately 4,000 of Block's 10,000 employees actively use goose across 15 job profiles, enabling non-technical staff to independently solve their own data problems without engineering support.
- Developer productivity improved 40% per engineer since September, with the company tracking manual hours saved by AI weekly and targeting 25% time savings by year end, according to CTO Dhanji Prasanna who stated, 'We have a metric internally which we track on a weekly basis, and that metric is very simply manual hours saved by goose. And that metric started at zero percent, and now it's going to hit probably twenty-five percent of manual hours saved by the end of the year.'

“Our approach has been to not overengineer it. So we like to let goose learn from doing things. So we also have this feature called recipes, where if you try a workflow with goose and you really like it, you can bake it into a sort of script, or what we call a recipe, and then share it out with your teammates. We find that goose is more capable than if you tried to figure out how to make a tool goose friendly. So it figures things out in surprising ways that you wouldn't think of as a human, and it does it quicker than you might do it as well, which is quite surprising.”
