Elon Musk-owned X is bringing its AI chatbot Grok to the centre of how users see content on the platform, with a new timeline customisation feature for Premium users.<\/p>\n
In an announcement, X product head Nikita Bier said iOS Premium subscribers will get early access to a tool that lets them pin specific topics (over 75) to their home tab. Grok will then use those topics to curate posts across the timeline.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt’s powered by Grok’s understanding of every post with the algorithm’s personalisation\u2014meaning every timeline is made just for you. And it works even better when it’s a topic you already engage with,\u201d Bier wrote<\/a>. Alongside this, X is moving away from its Communities feature, which allowed users to interact in topic-based groups. The company had earlier set a two-week window for users to migrate, but that deadline has now been extended.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve heard you. To give sufficient time to migrate: You\u2019ll have until May 30th to transition to XChat,\u201d Bier said<\/a>. He also added that group chat limits will be increased to support larger communities.<\/p>\n X is now encouraging users to shift to group chats via its messaging service, XChat, where public joinable links can be shared and pinned to bring members together. The move comes as the platform cited \u201cdeclining usage\u201d for Communities.<\/p>\n At the same time, the company is rolling out a new \u201cSnooze\u201d feature. This will allow users to temporarily mute topics on their \u201cFor You\u201d feed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a huge undertaking across many months, so we’re excited for you to take it for a spin,\u201d he added. The feature will be rolled out to Android users \u201cvery soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
