# goose vs OpenShell

goose and OpenShell share 13 technologies: axum, sqlx, Tokio, console, indicatif, oauth2, jsonschema, tracing, tracing-subscriber, OpenTelemetry, tracing-opentelemetry, opentelemetry-otlp, and tracing-appender. Both are written in Rust.

- [aaif-goose/goose](https://seerepo.com/r/aaif-goose/goose): an open source, extensible AI agent that goes beyond code suggestions - install, execute, edit, and test with any LLM
- [NVIDIA/OpenShell](https://seerepo.com/r/NVIDIA/OpenShell): OpenShell is the safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents.

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
