Meta acquires Moltbook, the Reddit-like network for AI agents

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 Schlicht and Ben Parr launched Moltbook earlier this year, offering a "social" network for autonomous agents powered by the open-source AI assistant OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot).
