A new AI personal assistant called Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot) can act as your personal assistant and control your computer. But before you install it, you need to know how to stay safe. I recommend signing up for Hostinger VPS.

What is Moltbot?

Moltbot used to be called Clawdbot until they had to change the name. It’s an open-source AI assistant that can do real tasks on your computer. Think of it as a smart helper. It can manage your files, send messages, browse the web, and even schedule tasks for you.

The tool works through messaging apps you already use. You can send commands through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or other chat apps. Then the AI does the work for you.

Why You Should Be Careful

Here’s the important part: Moltbot has full access to your computer. It can delete files, change settings, and control programs. That’s powerful, but also risky.

Many tech experts warn against installing it directly on your main computer. Instead, they suggest using a virtual private server. This is like renting a separate computer in the cloud where you can test the tool safely.

Setting It Up the Safe Way

The setup process is actually simple. You just run one command in a terminal, and it installs everything automatically. The AI then asks you questions to customize how it works.

You can choose which AI brain to use, like Google’s Gemini or OpenAI. You can also pick which messaging apps to connect and what skills to enable.

Real Examples of What It Can Do

Imagine texting your AI assistant to set up a morning briefing. Every day at 8 AM, it could send you a summary of your calendar, the weather, and important emails.

You could ask it to manage your smart home devices. It can also create simple apps. Additionally, it can handle file organization while you’re busy with other things.

The Bottom Line

Moltbot shows us where AI assistants are heading. Soon, we might all have AI helpers that can handle boring computer tasks for us. But like any powerful tool, it needs to be used carefully.

If you want to try it, use a virtual server first. Learn how it works before giving it access to your important files.
