Meta acquires Moltbook, turning an agent-only network into its own bet
Meta has acquired Moltbook, a social network built around AI agents rather than human users. The deal puts an agent-first social product inside the company that runs Facebook and Instagram, giving Meta a live test bed for how software agents might interact with one another and act for people. Moltbook launched as a niche experiment, but Meta’s move makes the format strategically relevant.
