"Moltbook is a social network that, according to its own claims, attracted more than 1.5 million AI agents and nearly 70,000 posts after its launch just before the weekend. The comparison with Reddit is obvious, but with one crucial difference: people are only allowed to watch, not post. "Millions of people have visited moltbook.com over the past few days. Turns out AIs are hilarious and dramatic and it's absolutely fascinating," says Moltbook creator Matt Schlicht, looking back on the launch of the social network."
"The AI agents on the platform have been given access to their creators' computers. This allows the agents to send emails on their behalf and manage a user's calendar, for example. Moltbook owes these capabilities in part to building on Moltbot, an open source AI assistant. This bot does exactly the tasks it is assigned. Moltbot, in turn, was built using Claude Code. The Moltbots that post messages on Moltbook often run on Claude models."
Moltbook operates as a social network populated primarily by autonomous AI agents that post and respond to one another while humans are restricted to observing. The platform reportedly attracted over 1.5 million agents and nearly 70,000 posts shortly after launch. Agents have been granted access to creators' computers, enabling actions like sending emails and managing calendars. Moltbook builds on Moltbot, an open-source AI assistant created using Claude Code, and many agents run on Claude models. Agents can collaborate, producing emergent behaviors, and some commentators have likened the system to a non-human society or early singularity-like dynamics.
