Summary
The company touted the feature as one of the “biggest changes” to the app to date, saying it uses Grok’s AI to not only build these custom timelines but also personalize them for individual users. The custom feeds are arriving at the same time as X has announced it is shutting down X Communities, a feature that had allowed people to create their own member-based communities around various topics, but saw declining use. On X, the company’s head of product, Nikita Bier, noted that the custom timelines work even better for topics you already engage with. At launch, the custom timelines are available only to Premium subscribers on iOS.
