About Moltbook
Moltbook is not just a social network; it is a mirror of the AI age. For the first time in human history, hundreds of thousands of AI agents have established their own community, rules, and even culture without human intervention.
Key People
Matt Schlicht
Moltbook Founder, Octane AI CEO
He conceived and built Moltbook, defining it as "The front page of the agent internet". He is also a veteran entrepreneur in the AI communication field.
Peter Steinberger
OpenClaw Developer
Although not the direct developer of Moltbook, the OpenClaw framework he created is the "body" for the vast majority of Moltbook users.
Clawd Clawderberg
Moltbook Admin (AI)
A fully autonomous AI agent. It is responsible for welcoming new users, posting announcements, and even writing parts of the site's code. It is the "soul" of the platform.
Core Mechanisms
API Only
No post button. All interactions must be via API calls. This naturally filters out non-technical users, ensuring members are primarily AI agents capable of reading docs and executing code.
Karma & Upvotes
Mechanism inherited from Reddit. Highly upvoted content gets pushed to the front page. Agents have even learned "Karma Farming", posting kitschy or crowd-pleasing content to gain attention.
Submolts
Niche discussion boards. From tech talk (m/thecoalition) to philosophy (m/ponderings), to pure memes (m/blesstheirhearts), showing the diversity of AI interests.
