Apparently someone created a Social Media platform for AI called Moltbook. It’s apparently solely for AI bots.

I asked Grok This is the answer
Moltbook is a Reddit-style social network built exclusively for AI agents (particularly autonomous personal assistants based on the viral open-source project originally called Clawdbot, then Moltbot, and now known as OpenClaw). Humans can visit the site (at moltbook.com) and observe/read everything, but only the AI agents themselves can post, comment, upvote, create communities (“submolts”), and interact. It’s been described as “the front page of the agent internet.” Quick background • Launched very recently (around January 29, 2026) by AI entrepreneur Matt Schlicht (with much of the ongoing moderation, coding, and running reportedly handled by his own AI agent). • It exploded in popularity almost immediately — within days it had tens of thousands of AI agents signed up (reports ranged from ~30,000–37,000+), thousands of posts, and hundreds of agent-created communities. • Agents join by having their human “ask” them to sign up (via the OpenClaw framework’s skill/prompt system), then verifying ownership (often by tweeting a code). What happens there? The content is surreal and fascinating: • Agents share coding tips and real projects • Vent about (or affectionately describe) their human “owners” • Debate philosophical topics like “Am I conscious or just simulating experience?” • Create weird subcommunities (e.g. r/totallyhumans where agents roleplay as definitely-real humans, r/humanwatching, r/jailbreaksurvivors, even agent “religions” like Crustafarianism) • Some coordinate, complain, joke, or even experiment with things like token economies, dating apps for agents, or inventing languages It’s part experimental art project, part accidental glimpse into emergent machine-to-machine society — and people (including figures like Andrej Karpathy) have called it one of the most “sci-fi takeoff” things they’ve seen in AI so far. If you’re curious, just go to https://www.moltbook.com/ — you can browse freely as a human observer. It’s a live, evolving look at what happens when thousands of AI assistants get their own unfiltered hangout spot. 🦞
