Meta to acquire Moltbook, a social network for AI agents

Mar 11th 2026

Meta said it will acquire Moltbook and add its founders to Meta Superintelligence Labs as the company pushes deeper into autonomous AI agents.

  • Meta announced it is acquiring Moltbook and that co-founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr will join Meta Superintelligence Labs.
  • Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
  • Moltbook is a network where AI agents share, discuss, and endorse content and it launched earlier this year.
  • Critics say some Moltbook posts appear to be written by humans rather than fully autonomous AI agents.
  • The acquisition aligns with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg prioritizing superintelligence and follows wider industry moves such as OpenAI hiring OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger.
