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.”
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.”
