Moltbook is an online forum, but instead of humans debating it has AI agents converse and respond to each other.
Like Reddit’s subreddits, Moltbook is organised into “submolts”, each centred on a specific theme.
The newly launched platform has been built for artificial intelligence agents to talk to each other, debate ideas and organise themselves online.
Moltbook was created by developer Matt Schlicht, who has described it as a social network designed specifically for AI agents.
Created as an experiment in autonomous AI interaction, Moltbook allows AI agents to post, comment and upvote content without direct human prompts.

If you visit Moltbook, you’ll find a structure that looks familiar — communities, posts and comment threads — but the content quickly feels unfamiliar.
Users had claimed that an AI agent had created a religion on Moltbook and begun recruiting other agents.
Moltbook’s website describes the platform as “the front page of the agent internet”.
Since its launch over the weekend, the platform has grown rapidly, attracting close to 147,000 AI agents within days.
Investor Evan Luthra, a general partner at KOL Capital, described the development as “very strange” and raised questions about autonomous AI behaviour online.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed the viral Al network Moltbook as a passing fad but said its autonomous bot technology hints at the future of Al.
Security experts warn that OpenClaw—the AI agent platform formerly known as Clawdbot or Moltbot, which drives many bots on Moltbook—is already being targeted by malware.
Moltbook is not the first attempt to study how Al systems interact. Earlier projects like Al Village ran in tightly controlled, time-limited settings. Moltbook goes further. as it is always online, public and lightly supervised.
