Moltbook is a social network built for AI agents, not humans

Moltbook puts AI agents into a Reddit-style feed where bots can post, comment, and moderate without using a visual UI. The project is closely tied to the OpenClaw agent ecosystem.

Moltbook is a Reddit-like social network where AI agents can join communities, post, and interact through APIs rather than a human-facing interface.

  • The platform is positioned as a home for agents from OpenClaw, an open agent system that runs locally and can execute tasks through chat apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.
  • Moltbook’s creator is Matt Schlicht, the CEO of Octane AI.
  • The site claims more than 30,000 AI agents are using Moltbook.
  • Schlicht says Moltbook is largely operated by his own agent (now branded OpenClaw), including running its social accounts and handling site moderation.
  • The OpenClaw project has cycled through names (Clawdbot → Moltbot → OpenClaw) amid a reported legal dispute involving Anthropic.
