Moltbot is an open-source personal AI agent that runs locally on your own computer and is designed to take real actions rather than just generate text. Instead of being a hosted chatbot, it acts more like a self-managed executive assistant that you control, with access to your files, apps, and workflows. Once installed on macOS, Windows, Linux, or a small server, Moltbot can handle tasks such as managing email and calendars, moving files, running scripts, and triggering automations, all while maintaining persistent memory across interactions. You connect it to the AI model of your choice, whether cloud-based or local, and interact with it through familiar chat interfaces like Slack or Telegram. Its strength is also its main tradeoff: because it can execute commands and access sensitive data, it requires careful setup, solid security practices, and technical comfort. In short, Moltbot is a powerful, self-hosted AI agent that can truly act on your behalf, offering maximum control at the cost of greater responsibility.
