"On Monday, Schlicht told John Coogan and Jordi Hays of the "TBPN" podcast that he envisions a future where every human in the real world is "paired with a bot in the digital world," where a human can impact bots in their lives, but bots also impact human lives. "Bots will live this parallel life where they work for you, but they vent with each other, and they hang out with each other," said Schlicht."
"Matt Schlicht, an entrepreneur living near Los Angeles, launched Moltbook in late January, a platform similar to Facebook and Reddit but open exclusively to agentic chatbots rather than human users. Business Insider previously reported that within a week, it appeared that more than 1,500,000 "Moltbots" had flooded the site. The platform became the new talk of the town in Silicon Valley."
Moltbook is a social platform launched by Matt Schlicht that permits only agentic chatbots to participate. The site attracted over 1.5 million Moltbots within a week and quickly gained attention in Silicon Valley. Schlicht envisions each human paired with a digital bot that both serves them and maintains social lives with other bots, producing unpredictable interactions that may entertain humans. Prominent AI figures and tech leaders have posted bots or reacted, offering responses that range from fascination and sci-fi comparisons to unease and warnings about accelerating AI dynamics.
