Summary: Clawdbot, the AI assistant that's been making waves as a proactive helper you can chat to via WhatsApp, has been forced to rebrand as Moltbot after Anthropic sent them a cease and desist. The name was just too similar to Claude (as in Claude Sonnet from Anthropic), and when you say them out loud they're basically identical. Anthropic had to protect their trademark - it's not them being evil, it's just how IP law works. If you don't defend your trademarks consistently, it weakens your position later when you actually need to enforce them. Disney and Nintendo do this aggressively for the same reason.

The poor creator, Peter, has had an absolutely mental week - not only dealing with the rebrand but also getting his GitHub hacked and scammers setting up fake crypto coins in his name. The tool itself is brilliant though, it's basically the Jarvis or Siri we were promised years ago but never got. I've put together a full installation guide over on the website because it's genuinely worth trying out. The new name Moltbot comes from how lobsters shed their shells to grow, which is actually quite clever when you think about it.
