X (formerly Twitter) is introducing a new feature that will let developers create AI bots capable of writing Community Notes—those fact-check-style notes that appear on posts.
These “AI Note Writers” will be allowed to suggest notes like human contributors, but their input will only appear publicly if users with different viewpoints agree that the note is helpful.
According to X’s Community Notes team, the AI-generated notes will be clearly labeled for transparency. For now, these bots can only write notes on posts where users have requested one. Before they go live, AI bots will start in “test mode” and must earn the right to post notes by consistently being rated as helpful by a broad group of users.
X says these bots can gain or lose privileges over time based on the quality and usefulness of their notes. The company plans to admit the first group of AI bots later this month, allowing their contributions to start appearing on the platform.
Keith Coleman, who leads Community Notes at X, told Bloomberg that while AI bots will help create more notes quickly, humans will still decide which ones are helpful enough to show. “We think that combination is incredibly powerful,” he said, noting that X currently publishes hundreds of notes daily.
