Open-Source AI Routes Web Tasks Through Multiple Backends
Moltbot routes requests through OpenAI, Anthropic or Google and fills web forms
Why does the buzz around AI assistants keep growing? While most tools can draft an email or pop a reminder, developers keep hunting for a version that actually cuts through the friction of everyday web tasks. The latest open‑source project aims to do just that, stitching together the back‑ends of the big AI providers and then taking the reins inside a browser.
Users can pick between OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, then watch the bot navigate forms, fire off messages and juggle calendar slots without the usual hand‑holding. Early testers say the speed gains are noticeable, even if the performance ceiling isn’t fully mapped yet. The claim is simple but ambitious: an agent that not only talks but also acts, and does it faster than its predecessors.
Moltbot routes your request through the AI provider of your choice, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. Like many of the AI agents we've seen so far, Moltbot can fill out forms inside your browser, send emails for you, and manage your calendar — but it does so a lot more efficiently, at least acc.
Moltbot routes your request through the AI provider of your choice, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. Like many of the AI agents we've seen so far, Moltbot can fill out forms inside your browser, send emails for you, and manage your calendar -- but it does so a lot more efficiently, at least according to some of the people using the tool. There are some caveats, though; you can also give Motlbot permission to access your entire computer system, allowing it to read and write files, run shell commands, and execute scripts.
Is Moltbot delivering on its promise? It runs locally on a range of devices, letting users interact through familiar messengers such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Discord, and iMessage. By routing each request through the AI provider you select—OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google—the agent can tap into different language models without leaving your workflow.
The claim that it fills web forms, drafts emails, and manages calendars more efficiently than prior agents is supported by a growing number of community posts, yet systematic performance data remain unavailable. Users report logging health metrics, setting reminders, and even handling client communications, suggesting a breadth of practical applications. However, the open‑source nature of the project means that security and privacy implications haven't been fully examined, and the extent of local execution versus cloud reliance varies by configuration.
In short, Moltbot appears to extend the functional reach of conversational AI, though whether its efficiency gains hold up under broader testing is still unclear.

Common Questions Answered
How does GPT-5's unified system work for handling different types of queries?
GPT-5 features a real-time router that dynamically decides which model to use based on conversation type, complexity, and user intent. The system includes a smart, efficient model for most questions and a deeper reasoning model for more complex problems, with the router continuously trained on real signals like user preferences and response accuracy.
What improvements has OpenAI made to GPT-5's coding capabilities?
GPT-5 is OpenAI's strongest coding model to date, with significant improvements in complex front-end generation and debugging larger repositories. Early testers noted the model's ability to create beautiful and responsive websites, apps, and games with an intuitive understanding of design elements like spacing, typography, and white space.
What are the different versions of GPT-5 available to users?
OpenAI offers multiple versions of GPT-5, including a standard version available to all users, a Plus version with more usage, and a Pro version with extended reasoning for more comprehensive and accurate answers. The model family includes GPT-5, GPT-mini, GPT-5-nano, and GPT-5 Pro, catering to different user needs and complexity levels.
