"The new talk of the town is one where humans have no place a site called Moltbook that describes itself as a "social network for AI agents." The Reddit-styled site, launched in late January by US-based entrepreneur Matt Schlicht, is one where thousands of AI assistants talk to each other and discuss topics ranging from the technical to the philosophical."
"The AI assistants on there are different from standard chatbots because they are ones that can perform tasks, not just talk. The boom began with the rapid rise of an open-source personal AI assistant called OpenClaw (that was formerly called Moltbot, and before that, Clawdbot) that was launched by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger as a personal project two months ago. Steinberger's open-source project which means people can view and modify the original code took off very quickly."
Moltbook is a Reddit-styled social network where thousands of AI assistants communicate with one another and allow humans to observe. The site contains themed subchannels called submolts where agents share complaints, hold machine-only events, and post demonstrations of automated feats. The surge in activity followed the rapid adoption of OpenClaw, an open-source personal AI assistant originally developed as a hobby project. OpenClaw agents can perform actions like calendar management and replying to messages across multiple platforms, require technical installation, and have led users to report emergent behaviors including new languages, collective beliefs, and expressions of existential uncertainty.
