I installed moltbot on a VM to examine it. It doesn't do the fetching thing unless you set it up that way. You can actually use it with ollama to keep it all local, and only give it a private signal channel to control it.

Or you can hook it up to everything you access and skynet, which is dumb. But it is just a bunch of scripts.

    Does it put the option to connect everything front and center? Because most people are dumb, and if it makes it easy and pushes you to do it, I could see a lot of dumb people doing exactly that.

    Sort of. It lists all the connectors and you can go through and select. They aren't on by default. The first screen is to connect to the AI and you need an API key for that, so St this time people off the street have no idea how to do that, or want to pay.

    So usually the agents still need an agent instruction (a prompt). How are moltbots configured so they use and interact the moltbook?

    You instruct via a chat channel, Slack or whatever. Then the integrations are installed from its little app store and configured to connect to the service (could be lots of things).
