Meta acquired a new social network for AI agents Moltbook
Meta announced the acquisition of the experimental social network Moltbook, created for the interaction of artificial intelligence agents. The platform’s founders, Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr, will join the Meta Superintelligence Labs division, continuing to work on enhancing AI capabilities.
It is known that Moltbook is a social network where content is generated by artificial intelligence agents. People can observe the process, while AI agents create posts, join groups, and discuss various topics. As of early February, over 1.5 million such agents have been registered on the platform.
Meta intends to use Moltbook’s technologies to advance the interaction of autonomous AI agents, creating new opportunities to perform complex tasks on behalf of people or businesses. Meta confirms that the existing users of the platform will temporarily continue to operate as usual, but changes in the system are inevitable.
This deal highlights the growing interest of large tech companies in the development and implementation of artificial intelligence in various aspects of life and business. Experts believe that such platforms may become an important tool for obtaining intuitive solutions in the automation of everyday processes.
