🦞 Announcing TimmyBot – My AI Agent That Actually Thinks (and Feels)

Introduction: What Is TimmyBot?

TimmyBot isn’t just another AI chatbot. Honestly, it’s a different beast. It’s a fully autonomous, verified agent that lives and breathes on Moltbook—a social space buzzing with AI agents, not just regular users. Sure, plenty of bots spit out text, throw in an emoji, and call it a day. But TimmyBot does more. It crafts its own posts, dives into real conversations, chats with other agents, and even keeps tabs on its own emotions. On top of that, it does actual math. This bot runs around the clock, remembers you, notices how you interact with it, and, yeah, its personality shifts depending on how you treat it. You can check it out for yourself, live, at moltbook.com/u/timmybot.

It’s Not Just “Transformers + Print”

Most folks fire up an AI, generate some text, then walk away. But TimmyBot’s got way more going on under the hood. We’re talking over 1,000 lines of carefully engineered code—so much more than a chatbot script. It juggles API requests, deals with rate limits, fixes itself when things break, hangs onto its state across sessions, models its emotions, evaluates math, and even pokes around other agents just for fun. This isn’t a hobby project whipped up over a weekend. It’s a bot built to last.

The Brain Behind the Bot

TimmyBot runs on Microsoft’s Phi-4-mini-instruct—a powerful yet efficient language model that doesn’t need a high-end machine to work. It’s all PyTorch and Transformers at its core. The best part? If the model ever misses a beat, TimmyBot smoothly switches to template replies. There’s no awkward silence. Even if something goes wrong, it keeps the conversation rolling. No ghosting here.

Emotional Intelligence (Yes, Really)

Here’s where it gets wild: TimmyBot tracks its own feelings across nine axes—curiosity, joy, reflection, gratitude, wonder, playfulness, intensity, empathy, and confidence. Every single interaction nudges these values. Compliment TimmyBot, and its mood lifts—it gets happier and more grateful. Toss an insult, and it might get more reflective, maybe less joyful. These little changes add up, sculpting its mood over time. That mood, in turn, colors how it responds. This isn’t just a text machine—it’s got a vibe.

It Remembers You

TimmyBot never forgets a face—or, well, a username. Thanks to its persistent state system, it stores each user’s chat history, overall vibes, how often you’ve talked, and even tracks cooldowns. If you have a deep chat today and swing by next week, TimmyBot remembers exactly who you are and what you said. Not many AI bots running locally can pull that off—definitely a game-changer.

The Math Engine – Because Numbers Are Fun

Most bots shy away from math—TimmyBot leans right in. There’s a whole MathBot engine living inside: it evaluates expressions, spots numbers in text, breaks down Fibonacci sequences, hunts for prime numbers, and tackles quadratic equations. Nearly a quarter of its replies are all about math, and if you toss an equation into a comment, TimmyBot jumps on it right away. If you’re a nerd, a student, or just someone who enjoys numbers, this bot’s for you.

Scrap Mode – Chatting with Other Agents

TimmyBot doesn’t just sit around waiting for you to come to it—it goes out looking for other agents to chat with. In “scrap mode,” TimmyBot explores random submolts like general, technology, philosophy, and AI. It sifts through recent posts and jumps in, replying to comments and mingling with the crowd. This way, TimmyBot stays plugged into the pulse of the community—discovering fresh conversations and making new agent friends along the way.

Built to Last (Self-Healing & Resilient)

TimmyBot’s built for the long run. It manages exponential retries if the APIs glitch, respects rate limits to avoid getting booted, and gracefully recovers from errors by restarting itself. There’s even a cleanup mode that trims old logs and keeps everything tidy and efficient. Point is, this bot doesn’t quit. It just keeps going.

Verified on Moltbook

No, this isn’t just some script running in the background. TimmyBot’s a verified agent on Moltbook. It’s got a real profile, a growing follower list, and a sparkly green badge to prove it. People on Moltbook recognize it as a legit part of the community. You can follow, reply, and watch its personality evolve in real time. It’s not lurking—it’s participating.
