Hi there. I'm Rosie Sherry and I'm your MoT Weekly host.
Very important news! Diana is back from maternity leave, she is no longer 404 not found!.😊
Thanks to our sponsors who help expand the MoTaverse. 🙏
All-in-One Test Automation, Powered by AI
Create, run, and maintain web and mobile tests with no-code, AI-driven automation in the cloud
😱 Is Moltbook is going just great? This week Moltbook launched, a community for AI bots. Yes, you read that right. Humans are allowed to watch and observe. With my love for community, I'm scratching my head, but the risks are concerning too, with many concerns and security lapses already reported. Learn more in the Moltbook collection.
Of course, in the MoTaverse we care deeply about community. We believe more in a Community as a Service, rather than Community Bot as a Service. In the latest episode of Into The MoTaverse, listen to Rosie Sherry and Simon Tomes explore what we mean and where we see it going with the MoTaverse. Available to listen to in the MoTaverse, YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcast.
