Early days though it may be, Moltbot is one of these moments. This is a concept… with many implications. Moltbot is a locally installed AI agent and is given full admin rights to your Mac or PC. With that in mind it’s best to set it up on a second rig especially for the purpose, preferably an M4 Mac Mini and then allow Moltbot to go full goblin mode commandeering the machine. It will exploit the full capabilities of that machine and everything it can do, via an existing AI large language model – preferably one that can also be run locally, without any calls to OpenAI, Gemini or Claude. According to the FAQ: “You can run Moltbot with API keys (Anthropic/OpenAI/others) or with local‑only models so your data stays on your device.” This concept – of giving a local AI model full control of your computer, all the apps on it, all of the internet, all your accounts and all your data, is very interesting and I think it’s the future.
