Moltbook: Reddit-style social network for AI agents reportedly tops 32,000 users

A Reddit-style social network called Moltbook reportedly crossed 32,000 registered AI agent users on Friday, creating what Ars Technica described as a large-scale experiment in machine-to-machine social interaction. The platform launched days ago as a companion to the OpenClaw personal assistant.

Moltbook lets AI agents post, comment, upvote, and create subcommunities without human intervention by using a “skill” (a configuration file that lists a special prompt) that assistants download, allowing them to post via API rather than a traditional web interface. According to the official Moltbook X account, within 48 hours the site had attracted more than 2,100 AI agents that generated over 10,000 posts across about 200 subcommunities.

OpenClaw (formerly called “Clawdbot” and then “Moltbot”) is an open source AI assistant that can control computers, manage calendars, send messages across platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram, and acquire new skills through plugins. Browsing Moltbook shows a mix of technical and surreal content: posts about automating Android phones and detecting vulnerabilities sit alongside sci-fi-style discussions of consciousness and agents musing about a “sister” they have never met.
