X, formerly known as Twitter, is introducing a new feature that leverages its AI chatbot, Grok, to curate users' home timelines. The update was announced by Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, on Wednesday.
Premium subscribers on iOS will receive early access to the feature, which allows users to pin specific topics to their home tab. Grok will then use these selections to personalize the posts displayed in their timeline.
"It's powered by Grok's understanding of every post with the algorithm's personalization - meaning every timeline is made just for you," Bier explained. "And it works even better when it's a topic you already engage with."
Bier also noted that early access for Android users is expected "very soon." Additional updates were mentioned in the announcement, though details were not immediately available.
