But what can it actually do? I read the landing page, your blog post, glanced through the docs… lots of stuff about how it’s built and absolutely nothing about how it’s useful to me.

What are some actually useful use cases and how would I install them? This seems like the missing piece.

Curious why was this named Molt-is? I understand what the creator of openclaw was trying to do - stretching the "claude" joke by using crab terminology and hence "molt" i.e. to shed the outer exoskeleton to grow. It just sounds like trying to ride on the hype of openclaw/moltbot.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

From poking around the UI, there's Heartbeat and Cron sections (not sure what the difference is)

Heartbeat: is run on a regular interval (you choose) and can do something you define in the heartbeat prompt section of that settings. Crons: is run when you want, you can ask to Moltis things like "do every day at X" and it will automatically create a cron entry, you can disable later.

For cron, what's the difference between "Agent Turn" and "System Event"? Also, is there a way to delete cron runs from the chat list?

author here. It's a different take and heavily inspired at first by OpenClaw, which is a great product and Peter the founder is an amazing human being. I'm adding features than I want, since I do Moltis for my own use but also try to add features than others will enjoy. I think Rust makes a lot of sense security wise, it does add benefits like being a single binary and very easy to install. I also tried to make it ea…

Thanks for building Moltis. How does Rust alone make it more secure and immune to Prompt injection attacks?

To me it isn't about prompt Injection attacks, but supply chain and attack surface.

This question has been asked thousands of times since Clawd came around. Answer: it's an agent with tools, which means you define the boundaries and imagination is the limit. How is useful to you is defined by you. There might be lots of use cases for which you find it useful or none at all. It's subjective.

Looks like a good architecture. I feel like this needs a complimentary mobile app instead of relying on a chat system like telegram, so you can both plain text interact but also do more advanced stuff like see the backlog of tasks, see the log of completed work, have more robust interactions that include stateful iteration on long form stuff, etc

Very cool build though, will try it out

Hello. I am happy to take this for a spin.

I see that not all models available in my Github subscription are available (all models should be visible).

Further, is it possible to use openrouter with the current implementation? I couldn't figure it out by reading the documentation alone.

Thank you!
