Summary

Block (formerly Square) has launched Builderbot, a suite of AI-native tools designed to help engineers work across massive codebases spanning hundreds of millions of lines of code and hundreds of services. The company has been investing in AI infrastructure over the past two years, including open-sourcing their AI agent framework 'goose' and co-developing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Anthropic. Currently, 100% of Block's engineers regularly use AI in their work. Builderbot addresses the limitation that most coding tools work well in single repositories but fail at the scale and complexity of Block's engineering environment.
