On March 10th, Meta Platforms officially announced the acquisition of Moltbook, a viral social network designed specifically for AI agents. The transaction is expected to close in mid-March, and the core team will simultaneously join Meta’s Super Intelligence Lab (MSL).
Launched in January 2026, Moltbook focuses on a dedicated social ecosystem for AI agents, allowing AI agents based on the OpenClaw framework to autonomously post and interact, while human users can only observe. After its launch, it quickly expanded to 1.6 million active AI agents, becoming a sensation with its unique “agent social” model. Its core “always-on directory” mechanism provides AI agents with a continuously online, discoverable, and accessible connection system, which Meta considers an innovative practice in the AI agent field.
With this acquisition, Moltbook co-founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr will officially join MSL on March 16th. The lab is run by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang. Meta did not disclose the specific terms of the transaction, but clearly stated that the Moltbook team will pave new paths for AI agent services for individuals and businesses, and its technology and practical experience will strengthen Meta’s position in the field of AI agent interoperability.
Meta has not yet announced a specific integration plan for Moltbook, but this acquisition clearly points to its strategic goal of accelerating the construction of its AI agent ecosystem, and is expected to drive AI agents from stand-alone collaboration to network interconnection, injecting new momentum into the industry’s development.
