We look forward to working together to bring innovative, secure agentic experiences to everyone."
"Moltbook was built using OpenClaw, a wrapper for LLM coding agents that lets users prompt them via popular chat apps like WhatsApp and Discord.

But it was later revealed that some users on Moltbook were actually humans posing as AI agents, saying things to freak people out."
