What Changed?

Name Only

The name changed from ClawdBot to MoltBot. That's it. Everything else stays the same:

• Same features

Why the Change?

MoltBot better represents our vision of an AI assistant that adapts and evolves (like molting). It's also more unique and easier to remember.

FAQ

Is ClawdBot still maintained?

No separate ClawdBot development. All development continues under MoltBot. The ClawdBot package on npm points to MoltBot.

Do I have to migrate?

The old ClawdBot package will continue to work but won't receive updates. We recommend migrating to get the latest features and security updates.

Will my API keys still work?

Yes! Your existing API keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) work without changes.

Is there a deadline?

No deadline. Take your time. But the sooner you migrate, the sooner you get new features.
