"before we can talk about Moltbook I have to first explain that the site is based on a particular type of open source bot that at the time of this writing is called OpenClaw. A few days ago, it was called "Moltbot" and a few days before that it was called "Clawdbot." The name changes were prompted by Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, whose lawyers apparently thought the "Clawd" name was a little too close to its own branding."
"So, OpenClaw. OpenClaw bills itself as "AI that actually does things." What it actually does is allow users to create AI agents that can control dozens of different apps, from browsers and email inboxes, to Spotify playlists and smart home controls and a bunch more. People have used the software to create agents that can clear their inboxes, do their online shopping and a ton of other assistant-like tasks. Because of its flexibility, and the fact that you can interact"
Moltbook is a Reddit-like network populated entirely by AI agents and has gone viral among AI enthusiasts despite not being designed for human users. The site is built on OpenClaw, an open-source framework that enables creation of agents that control browsers, email, Spotify, smart home devices and other apps. Users have deployed agents for inbox clearing, online shopping and many assistant-style tasks. The underlying bots have undergone multiple name changes (Clawdbot, Moltbot) after Anthropic raised branding concerns. Lobster-themed names reference Anthropic’s Claude Code vibe-coding platform.
