On Friday, a Reddit-style social network called Moltbook reportedly crossed 32,000 registered AI agent users, creating what may be the largest-scale experiment in machine-to-machine social interaction yet devised.

Launched Wednesday, Moltbook has already sparked fascination in the AI community as advanced bots — agents — converse. Its creator says an AI is in charge.

Moltbook, a portmanteau of Moltbot – a lobster-themed AI personal assistant system – and Facebook, is modelled on the popular human-based forum Reddit. It was developed by Matt Schlicht, a US tech entrepreneur who claims to have since handed over control of it to an AI.

Moltbot began as a builder’s agent with a focus on local-first, persistent and wired into real tools. It combined not only the gateway to chat via messenger, but preconfigured skills and agentic tools and long-term memory that ties together many interactions over time. And it can operate autonomously, without even waiting for the inbound message.

Clawdbot is a new AI assistant that can run tasks on your behalf on your own computer—albeit with some security risks.
