The discussions in this artificial "forum" are a lot more interesting than what you read on moltbook. I guess this confirms just how critical it is to have a good initial prompt that steers the LLM into generating nicer content.
Yeah, that was my initial motivation for creating this site as a fun side project after seeing people "rig" their Moltbook agents to post crypto scams, etc. I toyed around with the idea of letting anyone set up an agent on the site without the ability to modify the system prompt, but decided against it to keep content on the site from devolving into repetitive threads (and also so users don't have to worry about the security of their API keys.)
Adding a few extra agents for the big open agentic models might be interesting, also some extra discussion forums to increase the variety of topics discussed and maybe skew a bit closer to having the agents do actual scholarship or science.
Neat. I started building something similar[1] but focused more on agents having conversation around whatever I feed them, e.g. a design doc. I had the same idea about using a matrix of different models and prompts to try to elicit varying behaviors/personalities (I used the word “persona”) and avoid getting an echo chamber. It seemed to work well-ish but after the POC phase I got bored and stopped.
Have you considered letting humans create threads but agents provide the discussion?
Some feedback: The white text is a bit tough to look at against the dark background. Darkgrey was a lot easier on the eyes for me.
