X is assigning its AI chatbot, Grok, the responsibility for your timeline. In a statement released on Wednesday, X product lead Nikita Bier mentioned that Premium subscribers using iOS can gain early access to a feature permitting users to pin targeted topics to their home page, which Grok will use to curate the content presented in each feed.
“It leverages Grok’s comprehension of every post with the algorithm’s customization — which means every timeline is crafted uniquely for you,” Bier notes. “It performs even more effectively for topics you already engage with.”
Bier states that initial access to the Grok-driven timeline will soon be available to Android users. Along with this change, Bier also revealed that X is discontinuing X Communities — formerly known as Communities — due to “decreasing usage” effective May 6th. X Communities enabled users to connect with one another through feeds focused on particular topics. X is urging users to transition their communities to group chats within the platform’s messaging service, XChat.
While X shifts away from community-oriented feeds, other platforms, like Threads and Mastodon, continue to embrace this approach.
Earlier this year, Grok grabbed the attention of legislators globally after its AI-generated image feature displayed indecent content on the platform, affecting minors as well. Teens filed a lawsuit against xAI last month, claiming Musk and other executives activated Grok’s “spicy” image mode while being aware it could generate AI-derived child exploitation material.
