Neither side has yet revealed how much the deal was worth.<\/p>\n<p>In short, this is less about bringing an ad-supported platform to the bots or bringing the bots to Meta&#8217;s own ad-supported platform, but more about hiring the humans behind the project. A Meta spokesperson said, &#8220;Their approach to connecting agents through an always-on directory is a novel step in a rapidly developing space, and we look forward to working together to bring innovative, secure agentic experiences to everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This echoes comments made by CEO Mark Zuckerberg during <a href=\"https:\/\/s21.q4cdn.com\/399680738\/files\/doc_financials\/2025\/q2\/META-Q2-2025-Earnings-Call-Transcript.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Meta&#8217;s second quarter earnings conference call last year<\/a>. &#8220;I believe every business will soon have a business AI just like they have an email address, social media account, and website,&#8221; He told investors, &#8220;We&#8217;re starting to see some product market fit in a number of countries where we&#8217;re testing these agents, and we&#8217;re integrating these business AIs into ads on Facebook and Instagram, as well as directly into e-commerce websites.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though we know where Moltbook&#8217;s humans will go, it&#8217;s unclear what will happen to the project itself.
