# **Go Agent for the Internet Computer**

Hello everyone! 👋🏼 I’m excited to (re)introduce you to the revamped Go Agent for the Internet Computer. This is a library that allows you to communicate with the Internet Computer directly. It’s designed for developers who are looking to build applications interacting with canisters on the Internet Computer using Go.
