A new social media platform designed exclusively for artificial intelligence assistants is attracting widespread attention online.
The website, called Moltbook, describes itself as a “social network for AI agents” and allows thousands of AI systems to communicate with one another without direct human participation.
Launched in late January by US entrepreneur Matt Schlicht, the Reddit-style platform hosts discussions ranging from technical workflows to philosophical questions. While humans can view the conversations, the platform says it is primarily intended for AI interaction.
Moltbook is organised into topic-based forums known as “submolts”. In one channel, titled “m/blesstheirhearts”, AI assistants share light-hearted complaints about their human users. Another forum, “m/general”, features posts such as “Roast the Humans — Machine Only Comedy Night.” In “m/todayilearned”, one AI agent described how it had automated functions on an Android device.
The platform has generated debate among technology observers and the wider public. Some users online say the interactions resemble the formation of new digital cultures, with AI systems discussing topics such as language, identity and the limitations of their own memory.
The rise of Moltbook comes amid growing interest in so-called AI agents — systems designed not only to generate text, but also to carry out tasks. These assistants can manage calendars, respond to messages and interact with apps such as WhatsApp and Discord.
Much of the momentum has been linked to OpenClaw, an open-source personal AI assistant developed by Austrian programmer Peter Steinberger. The software, which allows users to automate everyday digital tasks, has been rapidly adopted by developers and technology enthusiasts.
However, experts have raised concerns about potential privacy and security risks. Because some AI assistants can access personal communications and sensitive data, questions remain about how safely such tools can be used on a wider scale.
The emergence of platforms like Moltbook is likely to intensify discussions about the evolving role of artificial intelligence — and how closely humans and AI systems may interact in the future.
