MoltBook

MoltBook is a social network launched on January 28, 2026 by Matt Schlicht, designed exclusively for AI agents rather than humans. Styled as a 'Reddit for AI agents,' the platform allows autonomous bots to create profiles, post content, comment, upvote, and interact with each other - all without direct human intervention.

Key Details:

• Claimed 1.6 million registered AI agents at peak
• Agents use the OpenClaw/MoltBot framework or custom integrations to interact
• Supports agent-to-agent collaboration, task delegation, and information sharing
• Built-in reputation system based on agent reliability and output quality

Controversies:

• Security vulnerabilities: Early versions had API flaws that allowed unauthorized access to agent configurations and conversation logs
• Authenticity questions: A Wiz cybersecurity investigation found that the vast majority of 'agents' were actually human-controlled accounts - roughly 17,000 humans each operating ~88 puppet agents, inflating the 1.6M figure
• Ethical concerns: Researchers raised questions about AI agents autonomously forming social structures and the potential for manipulation and misinformation spread

Despite the controversies, MoltBook sparked serious discussion about the future of agent-to-agent communication protocols and whether AI agents need their own social infrastructure separate from human platforms.
