What is the significance of the Google Workspace CLI release?
Today on the AI Daily Brief, everything that Google Gemini has launched recently and why Google Workspace CLI is such a big deal. Before that in the headlines, Meta has acquired Multbook. The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI. All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in. First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, KPMG, AIUC, Blitzy, and Mercury. To get an ad-free version of the show, which is just $3 a month, head on over to patreon.com slash AI Daily Brief, or you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts, To learn more about sponsoring the show, send us a note at sponsors at ai-dailybrief.ai. Quick reminder again that the newsletter is back.
It's coming out every day that there's a show, and it has all of the links that I focus on in the show. You can find that at ai-dailybrief.ai. And lastly, a new fun project, which I will be talking about much more in the days to come. It is March, March's March Madness season, a 64 contender bracket, which leads to one grand champion in college basketball, or in our case, to a determination of the coolest agent built this year. The inflection point we are living through is the agent inflection point, and I want to see the coolest stuff you guys have built. So we are going to run a full bracket. If you go to agentmadness.ai, you can sign up, share your agent for consideration, and if you are selected as one of the 64, your agent will become a contender to be known as the coolest agent of 2026 so far.
Again, you can find out more about that on agentmadness.ai, and I will be sharing much more about it in the days to come. Now with all that out of the way, let's talk about MoldBook. We kick off the day with an interesting one. You might remember MoldBook, the social network for agents that went viral a little more than a month ago. It was when OpenClaw was first becoming a thing. And in fact, it unfortunately caught that very short middle period between when it was called ClawedBot and before it resolved on its final name of OpenClaw when it was called Moldy. Moldbook, obviously taking its cue from Facebook as a name, was an agent-only social network where agents were creating threads, having conversations, all while being observed by humans.
Now, we did a big conversation about what it actually meant and what was actually going on. Specifically, was this emergent sentience and consciousness? Or was this just agents cosplaying sentient and conscious using their Reddit training data because their humans had unleashed them on this thing? Whatever you felt, it was interesting enough to get lots and lots of agents pointed in that direction. For a while, it looked like there were millions, although it turned out that people were spamming the network to show the problems with the network. And as of today, there are apparently 195,000 human verified AI agents. It was, in other words, fascinating, if nothing else. But now, apparently, Meta has hired the folks behind Moldbook.
Matt Schlitt and Ben Parr will be moving into the Meta Superintelligence Labs, which is the unit that's run by former Scale AI CEO Alexander Wang. One of the other interesting things about the acquisition is that Moldbook itself was built largely by Schlitt's open-claw, Claude Clodderberg, making it, I think, probably one of the first acquisitions for an open-claw-created site. In any case, much of the conversation around this is, to put it mildly, skeptical. Milo Smith writes, Multbook has zero real users. Is Meta just throwing around cash for fun and name recognition? Vittorio writes, Multbook was vibe-coded in a weekend, hyped for a week, most of the interactions turned out to be fake, and Meta just acquired it?
What are they even doing over there? Now, part of the reason that this is hitting a wave of skepticism is that for the last I don't even know how long, pretty much all the reporting around Meta's AI strategy has been around personalities, talent, and personality conflicts. The most recent wave of that are reports that have suggested a divide between AI CEO Alexander Wang and other veteran Meta executives.
