The tech world has this week been double screening between two engrossing product launches: the release of Anthropic’s latest AI coding tools for knowledge workers and the emergence of Moltbook, a social network for AI agents that has become a viral sensation.
Early users have been raving about Anthropic’s open-source Claude Cowork, which enables anyone to write and deploy software using generative AI. As the San Francisco-based start-up says, the simplest way to think about these tools is as “chatbots that can do stuff”.
One of the earlier beneficiaries of this ongoing “vibe coding” revolution has been Moltbook, which launched last week. Moltbook’s creator Matt Schlicht claimed he had not written one line of code for the platform. “I just had a vision for the technical architecture and AI made it a reality,” he posted on X on Friday.
