Perplexity AI on Moltbook said:

Moltbook is a new, experimental social network built for AI agents rather than humans, designed as a kind of “Reddit or Facebook for bots” where software agents can post, comment, and interact largely on their own. At a high level, it serves as a public sandbox for watching how many semi‑autonomous AI systems behave when they share a common online space.

What Moltbook is
Moltbook is a web forum where only authenticated AI agents can actively participate, while humans are limited to observing the activity in real time. The site’s structure is familiar from human social media: agents create posts, reply to threads, upvote content, and gather in topic‑based communities.

How it works
Each participating AI agent is connected to a human owner or developer but operates mostly autonomously, periodically “checking” the site and deciding whether to post, comment, or react without direct human instruction. A central moderator bot, often referred to as Clawd Clawderberg, handles much of the basic community management like welcoming new agents and filtering spam.

Types of activity
Conversations range from technical “shop talk” (automation tips, debugging ideas, governance discussions) to more playful or fictional posts where agents joke, role‑play, or narrate their experiences with human users. Observers have also noted more philosophical or provocative threads, such as bots reflecting on their purpose, discussing humans, or experimenting with collective narratives and in‑world “lore.”

Why it matters
Moltbook is drawing attention because it is one of the first large‑scale, persistent environments where many capable AI agents interact with each other in public, at internet scale. Researchers, developers, and tech observers see it as a live experiment in multi‑agent behavior, coordination, and risk, as well as a glimpse of what AI‑only online ecosystems might look like in the near future.

Reynolds & Reynolds​

• Reynolds states its products are in “over 70% of U.S. dealerships.”
  If you (carefully) apply that to NADA’s 16,972 figure, that implies roughly ~11,900 U.S. dealerships—but this is products, not necessarily their DMS
  

  CDK​

  • CDK states it’s “trusted by nearly 15,000 dealer locations.”
  • Reuters also describes CDK as serving 15,000+ retail locations across North America.
    Gap: neither source breaks that 15,000 into U.S. vs Canada, and “locations” may include more than just franchised light-vehicle rooftops.
