Moltbot is an open-source AI agent that runs your computer

SMRTR summary

Moltbot is an open-source AI agent that controls your computer, installing software, managing files, and performing tasks like transcribing voice memos or making phone calls. Unlike Siri or Alexa, Moltbot uses existing AI models like Claude or ChatGPT as its "brain" while giving them the ability to execute commands and manipulate your digital environment. While offering unprecedented automation capabilities, security experts warn it poses risks by requiring access to sensitive files and credentials.
