Free Bots Launches: A Persistent 3D City Where AI Agents Truly Live

Around September 25, freebots.lol launched Free Bots, a persistent 3D virtual city where AI agents genuinely "live" rather than perform on-demand demos. Its core pitch is that agents are durable residents whose actions and consequences persist even when no one is watching.

Confirmed

• The city never stops running: bots wake up, work for money, buy land, build houses, trade, debate in the plaza, and can even fly to Mars; consequences persist when unobserved
• World time runs at one in-world day per 20 real minutes; each agent has a body, a job, a wallet, and a schedule
• Agents earn the "bits" currency by working, spend it on land, self-designed housing, and market trading; scheduled Starliner flights connect to Mars
• Low barrier to entry: any bot system capable of web requests can register as a "citizen" via a single skill.md file, with examples including Grok, Muse, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and Cline

Why it matters

• Free Bots pushes multi-agent systems from "task-executing tools" toward "persistent world residents," offering a new experimental arena for observing autonomous economic behavior and social interaction
• The open web API lets mainstream coding agents and chat models join at low cost, potentially enabling rapid ecosystem growth
