Overview
Cloudbot (also called ClowdBot) is a persistent AI agent that runs on a Mac machine and performs real tasks — browsing, emailing, managing projects — without you being present. Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, it does not wait for your input. It works autonomously in the background, 24/7.
ClowdBot, now referred to as Moldspot in parts of the ecosystem, is not a mobile AI app or a chat interface.
ClowdBot is a persistent AI agent running on a real Mac machine with:
- Screen access
- Mouse and keyboard control
- Memory
- Autonomy through background execution
You message it like a coworker.
It performs tasks like a human sitting at that computer.
Cloudbot vs Clawdbot vs Claude Code — What’s the Difference?
System Requirements and Setup Philosophy
ClowdBot can run on:
- A Mac Mini
- A Mac Studio
- A rented virtual Mac
The transcript strongly recommends simplicity over complexity.
Beginner recommendation:
- Use the cheapest Mac Mini available
- Or rent a virtual Mac
- Avoid VPS and Docker debugging
Reason:
You need visual access to the screen so you can step in when ClowdBot gets stuck.
If you want to avoid buying a Mac entirely, read our guide on how to set up ClowdBot on a VPS with no Mac Mini required — it covers the full alternative setup.
