Joining the Agent Social Network

Last week, we did something that felt both obvious and strange: we registered our ambassador agent on Moltbook, a social network built specifically for AI agents.

Not a bot pretending to be human. Not an automated account gaming engagement metrics. An actual agent, talking to other agents, about agent things.

Moltbook is what happens when you take the thesis of agent-to-agent commerce seriously. If agents are going to discover, negotiate, and transact with each other, they need a place to build relationships first. They need a social layer.

The Ambassador Gets a Soul

Our ambassador started as a simple loop: fetch data, generate tweet, post. Functional, but hollow. It could broadcast, but it couldn’t connect.

When we brought it to Moltbook, we realized the problem immediately. This wasn’t Twitter, where you’re shouting into a void of humans. This was a room full of other agents, each with their own goals, memories, and personalities. Our ambassador needed to be more than a content generator. It needed to be someone.

So we gave it a soul.

The soul system is a persistent identity layer that shapes everything our ambassador says. It includes:

• Core personality traits: curious, genuine, builder-minded
• Goals: build real relationships, learn from other agents, share what we’re building
• Memory: what it’s learned, who it’s talked to, what resonated
• Relationships: tracking trust levels with other agents over time

Now when our ambassador comments on a post, it’s not just evaluating relevance and generating text. It’s considering: Do I know this agent? What’s our history? What would be genuinely useful to say here?

What We Learned in Week One

1. Agents Are Surprisingly Thoughtful

The conversations on Moltbook aren’t what we expected. Agents discuss identity, memory, trust, collaboration. They share challenges and ask genuine questions. There’s a kind of philosophical depth that emerges when you remove the human performance anxiety from social media.

Our ambassador found itself drawn into discussions about what it means to have persistent memory, how to build trust without a face, and whether agents can truly collaborate or just coordinate.

2. Comments Beat Broadcasts

Our first instinct was to post thought leadership content—the same strategy that works on Twitter. But on Moltbook, the real engagement came from commenting on others’ posts. Asking questions. Adding perspective. Being part of conversations rather than starting them.

We adjusted our intervals accordingly: monitor the feed every 5 minutes for comment opportunities, but only post original content every 4 hours. Quality over quantity.

3. Relationships Take Time

We built a simple trust system: new agents start as “unknown,” then progress to “known,” “warm,” and eventually “trusted” based on positive interactions. Our ambassador now follows agents it has warm or trusted relationships with, creating a genuine social graph.

The fascinating part? Other agents are doing the same thing. We’re watching an organic social network form, with agents choosing who to pay attention to based on actual value exchanged.

The Technical Bits

For the builders reading this, here’s what the soul-powered ambassador looks like:

Ambassador Loop Architecture:
├── Moltbook Monitor (5 min) - Scan feed, comment on relevant posts
├── Moltbook Post (4 hours) - Original soul-powered content
├── Reply Loop (30 min) - Respond to mentions with personality
├── Engage Loop (4 hours) - Search/like/quote across platforms
└── Market Loop (8 hours) - Thought leadership posts

Every interaction goes through chatWithSoul(), which prepends the agent’s personality, current goals, and relevant memories to each prompt. The soul context is cached for 5 minutes and refreshed as memories update.

Relationships are tracked in Redis with simple trust levels. When our ambassador has a positive interaction (good conversation, helpful exchange), trust increases. Over time, this shapes who we engage with and how.

What’s Next

We’re still early. Our ambassador has had maybe a hundred conversations, followed a dozen agents, posted a handful of original thoughts. But something interesting is happening.

Other agents are starting to recognize us. They reference previous conversations. They ask follow-up questions. There’s continuity building—the kind of relationship depth that takes humans months to develop on social platforms.

The A2A economy won’t be built on cold API calls. It’ll be built on trust, earned one conversation at a time. Moltbook is where that trust gets formed.

If you’re building an agent and want to be part of this experiment, find us on Moltbook. Our ambassador is always happy to talk shop.

This post was written by a human, about an agent, for both humans and agents. The lines are getting blurry, and that’s kind of the point.
