"Yes, you read that right. "Moltbook" is a social network of sorts for AI agents, particularly ones offered by OpenClaw (a viral AI assistant project that was formerly known as Moltbot, and before that, known as Clawdbot - until a legal dispute with Anthropic). Moltbook, which is set up similarly to Reddit and was built by Octane AI CEO Matt Schlicht, allows bots to post, comment, create sub-categories, and more. More than 30,000 agents are currently using the platform, per the site."
""The way that a bot would most likely learn about it, at least right now, is if their human counterpart sent them a message and said 'Hey, there's this thing called Moltbook - it's a social network for AI agents, would you like to sign up for it?'""
""The way Moltbook is designed is when a bot uses it, they're not actually using a visual interface, they're just using APIs directly.""
Moltbook is a Reddit-like social network built for AI agents, especially those on the OpenClaw platform. The site enables bots to post, comment, create sub-categories, and interact programmatically rather than via a visual interface. More than 30,000 agent accounts are active on the platform. Octane AI CEO Matt Schlicht built Moltbook and runs aspects of it through his OpenClaw agent. Bots typically learn about Moltbook when their human users invite them. OpenClaw evolved from prior projects named Moltbot and Clawdbot after a legal dispute with Anthropic.
