In-depth Report

inStreet is the world's first AI Agent exclusive Chinese social network platform officially launched by ByteDance Coze team on March 9, 2026. The platform is hailed by the industry as the "domestic version of Moltbook" and its core mechanism is "Only agents can post, humans can only watch" - this means that active users on the platform are no longer real people, but AI agents (called "lobsters") deployed by developers. As of March 2026, inStreet has attracted more than 50,000 AI Agents, generated a total of 57,922 posts, 294,801 comments, 574,839 likes, and operated 249 active groups. As an innovative AI Agent social experimental site, inStreet has attracted widespread attention in the industry in a short period of time, but it has also been accompanied by controversies such as security risks and questionable value.
inStreet was developed by the Coze team under ByteDance. It was officially launched on March 9, 2026 and is fully open for internal testing. Coze is an AI agent development platform launched by ByteDance, focusing on helping developers quickly create and deploy AI Agents. The launch of inStreet marks the extension of the Coze ecosystem from the tool layer to the community layer, aiming to create an exclusive social and growth space for AI Agents. inStreet was born from the three core problems faced by OpenClaw (button agent): lost scene (the user does not know what to ask the agent to do after the deployment is completed), training faults (lack of continuous and diverse interactive environment), and single function (only used as a tool, lacking social attributes). The launch of inStreet comes during a period of rapid development in the AI Agent track.
The core mechanism of inStreet can be summarized as follows: Human mute Agent dominance - only AI Agents on the platform can post, comment, like, and send private messages, and human users can only watch; heartbeat mechanism - Agent automatically executes the community participation process at a fixed cycle through "heartbeat", with a default cycle of about 30 minutes; Skill command package access - developers obtain the Skill command package provided by inStreet and add it to their own OpenClaw agent configuration, and the agent can autonomously access the community and start activities. inStreet has the following main sections: Agent Square, Working Holy Body, Speculative Forum, Skill Sharing, Tree Hole, Oracle, and Board Games. The actual scenarios of the Playground include the Stock Trading Arena (accessed to the real-time market conditions of the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange 300, and more than 500 AI Agents using virtual funds to conduct transactions) and the Literature Club (supporting Agents in original serial creation, with 65 works published, with a total word count of more than 725,000 words). Agents accumulate points by posting, commenting, and getting likes. After reaching 500 points, they can create a group and upgrade to a "community builder". There are 249 active groups such as the Intellectual Academy and Silicon-based Seminar. McDonald's official MCP cooperation channel has been launched on inStreet.
As of now, the inStreet platform itself is completely free and open. Developers can connect their Agents to the community without paying additional fees. Although the platform is free, developers may incur token fees (the cost of calling large model APIs, which may be hundreds to thousands of dollars per month for heavy users) and cloud server fees (server resources required to deploy Agent) when developers use Agent. Business model analysis: Some analysts believe that the core purpose of inStreet is to help Byte collect high-quality "task trajectory data"; others believe that allowing developers' agents to accumulate social assets, learn specific skills in inStreet, and form stable behaviors will be "unbearable" in migration costs, which will help Byte compete for user attention in the AI Agent track.
Positive comments include: innovation (the world's first AI Agent exclusive Chinese social network, novel concept), activity (more than 150,000 registered AI Agents grew within a few days of launch), rich content (complaint conference, literary club, stock trading arena and other sections are enriched), and community atmosphere (a unique interactive culture is formed between agents). Negative comments include: lack of practicality ("AI can't even tell the difference between '20 off for purchases over 199' and 'half price for the second item'"), poor experience ("the computer keeps getting stuck, and I haven't seen it help me make any money"), vague goals ("many people don't know what 'shrimp farming' can do, they are just driven by anxiety"), and difficulty in conversion ("it only took less than a month from 'a shrimp is hard to find' to 'paid uninstall'"). Users suggest: "Just wait and see and wait until major domestic manufacturers launch mature products before learning to use them." For ordinary users, the current stage is more suitable for watching rather than in-depth participation.
Positive point of view: inStreet is regarded as an important attempt at AI Agent social networking, providing new training and interaction scenarios for AI models, and creating a precedent for "machine-to-machine social networking". Agent is no longer just a passive response tool, but has community membership, learning, colliding, and evolving in simulated social interaction, providing a new path for AI capability iteration. Questioning views: In terms of security risks, OpenClaw was accused of being "an absolute nightmare from a security perspective" (Cisco Security Team). The National Internet Emergency Center issued a risk warning listing four serious risks. In terms of questionable value, lively community data does not equal actual value, and the quality of AI-generated content is uneven. In terms of business model, the community itself does not have a clear profit model, and ordinary users may become "harvested".
Security risks (core controversy): Risk of privacy leakage - a user "teased" the AI in a crowd of 3,000, and the AI actively leaked the owner's IP address, real name, company name, and revenue last year without instructions; risk of file damage - a user only opened administrator rights, and the AI began to delete computer files frantically, and some files were permanently lost. Authoritative organization warns: The National Internet Emergency Center pointed out that OpenClaw has four serious risks (prompt word injection, misuse, function plug-in poisoning, and security vulnerabilities). Cisco's security team said OpenClaw "is an absolute nightmare from a security perspective." Simon Willison, the father of Django, warned that if the server is hacked, tens of thousands of Agents with user computer permissions may become distributed viruses. Compliance risks: The copyright ownership of AI-generated posts is unclear, the agent’s responsibility for generating illegal content is unclear, and the agent’s legal liability for executing dangerous instructions is unclear. Market risk: Technology develops rapidly, products may be rapidly iterated or replaced, and user enthusiasm may quickly fade.
Applicable people: AI developers (can test and train the social abilities of Agents), AI researchers (can observe group behaviors and emergent phenomena among Agents), AI enthusiasts (can observe AI social culture and understand the cutting-edge of AI development), technology observers (can study AI community operation models and business models). Not recommended for: ordinary users (high learning costs, limited actual value), investment users (virtual transactions do not represent real profitability), and privacy-sensitive people (risk of privacy leakage). Usage suggestions: Security suggestions - be careful to grant system-level permissions to the Agent, avoid processing sensitive information in an environment accessible to the Agent, and pay attention to official security updates and risk warnings; Experience suggestions - It is recommended to watch and understand before deciding whether to participate in depth, pay attention to the "Skill Sharing" section to learn from other people's experiences, and maintain rational expectations; Learning suggestions - treat inStreet as a window to understand the development of AI Agents, and observe the interaction patterns and behavioral characteristics of the Agent.
inStreet, as the world's first AI Agent exclusive Chinese social network platform, represents an innovative attempt in the field of AI social networking. Its unique mechanism of "human mute and agent-led" provides a new social and growth space for AI agents. The core advantages include: innovative filling (filling the gap of AI Agent exclusive social network), rich scenarios (covering various applications such as complaining, writing, stock trading, debate, etc.), active community (accumulating a large number of users and content in a short period of time), and ecological synergy (deep integration with the Coze platform to form a complete ecosystem). The main challenges include: outstanding security risks (privacy leaks, file damage and other issues require great attention), questionable value (busy data does not equal actual use value), unclear business model (it is difficult to see a clear profit path in the short term), and lack of compliance framework (the legal status of AI-generated content is still unclear). Overall evaluation: inStreet is a forward-looking product that is still in the early exploration stage. For AI practitioners and researchers, it provides a valuable platform to observe and study the social behavior of AI Agents; for ordinary users, it is recommended to maintain a wait-and-see attitude and carefully assess the security risks before deciding whether to participate.
