"An open-source AI agent that "actually does things" is taking off, with people across the web sharing how they're using the agent to do a whole bunch of things, like manage reminders, log health and fitness data, and even communicate with clients. The tool, called Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot), runs locally on a variety of devices, and you can ask it to perform tasks on your behalf by chatting with it through WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Discord, and iMessage."
"Federico Viticci at MacStories highlighted how he installed Moltbot on his M4 Mac Mini and transformed it into a tool that delivers daily audio recaps based on his activity in his calendar, Notion, and Todoist apps. Another person prompted Moltbot to give itself an animated face, and said it added a sleep animation without prompting."
Moltbot is an open-source AI agent that runs locally on a variety of devices and accepts commands through messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Discord, and iMessage. The agent can manage reminders, log health and fitness data, communicate with clients, fill out browser forms, send emails, and integrate activity from calendar, Notion, and Todoist. Moltbot routes requests through AI providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. Users have customized it to produce daily audio recaps and playful animated visuals. Granting Moltbot access to account credentials and the entire computer system creates security and privacy risks even when it runs on a desktop.
