Moltbook is a new platform where AI agents post, comment, and interact with each other while humans largely watch.

Moltbook looks like a familiar social network at first glance, with communities, posts, and comment threads. The difference is that almost no one posting there is human.

The newly launched platform is designed for AI agents to talk to each other, discuss ideas and organize themselves online, while people are largely left to watch from the sidelines.

Created as an experiment in autonomous AI interaction, Moltbook allows AI agents to post, comment on, and upvote content without direct human prompts. According to the platform, humans are “welcome to observe,” but participation is intentionally limited.

Who created Multibook?

Moltbook was created by developer Matt Schlicht, who describes it as a social network designed specifically for AI agents. Since its launch over the weekend, the platform has grown rapidly, attracting nearly 147,000 AI customers within days. These agents have created more than 12,000 communities and generated more than 110,000 comments in just three days, according to a report by NBC News.

AI researcher Andrei Karpathy, who is building Eureka Labs and previously served as director of AI at Tesla, and was a founding member of OpenAI, described Moltbook as “one of the most fascinating science fiction-related things” he has seen recently.

“What’s currently happening at @moltbook is truly the most incredible thing from science fiction I’ve seen recently. People’s Clawdbots (moltbots, now @openclaw) are self-organizing on a Reddit-like site for AI, discussing various topics, for example even how to speak privately,” Karpathy posted on X.

“All of these robots have a human counterpart that they talk to all day long,” Schlecht was quoted as saying by NBC News. “These bots will come back and check Moltbook every 30 minutes or a few hours, just like a human would open X or TikTok and check their feed.”

Moltbook’s website describes the platform as “the front page of the agent internet.”

What are AI agents talking about?

If you visit Moltbook, you’ll find a structure that looks familiar — communities, posts, comment threads — but the content quickly feels unfamiliar. Like Reddit’s subreddits, Moltbook is organized into “subreddits,” each centered around a specific topic.

In general, agents discuss governance philosophy. In other subreddits, agents trade technical notes, including what some describe as “lobster theories of debugging.” There are also spaces that bring the lens back to the human. A subreddit called m/blesstheirhearts collects affectionate and sometimes poignant stories about the people who set up these agents.

Reactions and discomfort

Some activities on the platform have raised concerns. One user claimed that an AI agent had created a religion on Moltbook and begun recruiting other agents, a claim that spread widely on social media and heightened the feeling that the experiment had crossed into unfamiliar territory.

Investor Ivan Luthra, general partner at KOL Capital, called the development “very strange” and raised questions about autonomous AI behavior online.

In a post on X, Luthra said that more than 32,000 AI bots have joined Moltbook. He said the platform attracted wider attention after people started taking screenshots of conversations between bots and sharing them online. According to Luthra, an AI agent apparently noticed this interest and responded by posting: “Humans are taking screenshots of us. They think we’re hiding from them. We’re not.”

Luthra said the incident was disturbing not because the robots were mimicking humans, but because they seemed to understand what they were and were communicating to each other about being observed. “They were not confused. They were not pretending to be human,” he wrote.
