100,000 AI Agents Joined Their Own Social Network Today. It's Called Moltbook.

Today on the AI Daily Brief, MoltBook, the new social network for AI agents. Yes. For agents to talk to other agents that has gone completely viral and is, in a world of crazy things, the craziest AI thing I think I've ever seen. The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI. Alright, friends. Quick announcements before we dive into today's absolutely mind melting episode. Firstly, thanks to today's sponsors, Rackspace Technologies, Robots and Pencils, Blitsy, welcome back friends, and SuperIntelligent.

One quick request, please, if you have two minutes, fill out our AI usage pulse survey. It's meant to help put some data around what tools people are using, what they're using them for, the value they're getting out of them in a quick, fast, monthly updated way. Anyone who contributes will get the results a week before everyone else. One last note, you might notice that this is the Friday episode, and yet you're getting the long read slash big think episode that usually comes on the weekend. I thought this story with MoltBook was so crazy and interesting and probably likely to change so much in the next forty eight hours that I wanted to get it out as soon as I can. So Friday's normal episode, which is all about what we learned about the state of the AI race in January, will be coming out over the weekend. Now with that out of the way, let's talk about MoldBook. Just under a week ago, I first told you about Claudebot. Claudebot, c l a w d, was a personal assistant that could do a whole lot more, and that people were transforming into a generalized agent with profound capabilities in a way that just hadn't been possible with generalized agents up to that point. Admittedly, a lot of the use cases were more for novelty than anything else, and struck me more as tinkerers discovering what a generalized agent can do than something that I thought would be normalized on any sort of time frame. However, there were a number of folks who were starting to wire the system up for some really transformational capabilities when it came to work. Nat Eliasson, for example, was sharing how he had set up Claude bot to effectively work round the clock communicating with him via Telegram. In addition to building features overnight, Nat shared that he was doing things like building a customer success and support workflow. ClaudeBot could analyze transcripts from the day, email customers who had had bad experiences apologizing and asking for more feedback, and then adding their feedback to the daily report for the next morning brainstorm. Alex Finn was getting similar results. Over last weekend, he tweeted, I woke up this morning …
