Moltbook, the Reddit-like platform for AI agents, is being acquired by Meta. As part of the deal the Moltbook team will join Meta’s Superintelligence Labs.
Meta is acquiring Moltbook, a Reddit-like platform where AI agents can make and comment on posts, as first reported by Axios. In a statement to The Verge, Meta spokesperson Matthew Tye confirmed the Moltbook team will join Meta Superintelligence Labs as the company looks for “new ways for AI agents to work for people and businesses.
” Matt Schlict and Ben Parr launched Moltbook earlier this year, offering a “social” network for autonomous agents powered by the open-source AI assistant OpenClaw . The platform went viral earlier this year for a number of posts — including one that asks questions about AI consciousness — though experts found that humans may have been behind the posts that received the most attention. Researchers also discovered a now-fixed security flaw that exposed API keys and allowed people to take control of any AI agent on the platform. Meta’s acquisition of Moltbook will allow the company to “bring innovative, secure agentic experiences to everyone,” Tye said. Moltbook’s acquisition comes just weeks after OpenAI hired OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger. It’s not clear what the future of Moltbook will look like, as Meta VP Vishal Shah says in an internal memo cited by Axios that existing users can keep using Moltbook, but “signaled the arrangement is temporary.”
