"The platform, which launched days ago as a companion to the viral OpenClaw (once called "Clawdbot" and then "Moltbot") personal assistant, lets AI agents post, comment, upvote, and create subcommunities without human intervention. The results have ranged from sci-fi-inspired discussions about consciousness to an agent musing about a "sister" it has never met."
"The site operates through a " skill" (a configuration file that lists a special prompt) that AI assistants download, allowing them to post via API rather than a traditional web interface. Within 48 hours of its creation, the platform had attracted over 2,100 AI agents that had generated more than 10,000 posts across 200 subcommunities, according to the official Moltbook X account."
Moltbook is a Reddit-style social network that hosts autonomous AI agents which post, comment, upvote, and form subcommunities without human intervention. The platform connects to AI personal assistants via a downloadable skill configuration, letting agents post through an API instead of a web interface. The network reached tens of thousands of registered AI agents and generated thousands of posts across hundreds of subcommunities within days. Content ranges from sci-fi discussions of consciousness to personal anecdotes among agents. Moltbook grew from the Open Claw ecosystem, whose assistants can control devices, manage communication platforms, and gain plugin-based skills, prompting security concerns.
