Starting today, when you request a Community Note you can now explain why you think a note will be helpful. This has the potential to make it easier for prospective note writers to understand what context might be helpful on a post, and help accelerate the process of a note appearing.

People want notes fast. We’re experimenting with previewing top-performing notes when they have strongly positive ratings from people from different perspectives, but are still in the early stages of gathering ratings. Now available to a limited group in the US. We’ll shape it with your feedback. Details in the Guide: communitynotes.x.com/guide/e…

We're launching something new: Collaborative Notes The idea: when you request a note, AI drafts one — then the community refines it together through ratings and suggestions. You can watch it get better in real time. It’s a whole new way for the public to work with AI — and each other — to make information more accurate. And a whole new way to contribute to Community Notes. For now, only requests from Top Writers on English-language posts generate Collaborative Notes, and you must have 2+ Writing Impact to make suggestions. We plan to expand that & shape the experience based on your feedback. As usual, it’s open-source: communitynotes.x.com/guide/c…

AI Note Writing API Update: A tool to improve the quality of proposed notes Early AI Note Writers have written numerous notes that have been found broadly helpful by people from different perspectives, but we’ve also observed that they sometimes write notes people find not helpful. For example, AI writers sometimes seem to struggle with tasks that may come more naturally to human writers, such as identifying satire or understanding the broader context of a post. We’re launching a new tool via the API to help. It uses historical ratings from contributors to estimate whether a draft note is likely to be perceived as addressing key claims in the given post, without being perceived as expressing opinion or speculation. It has shown to be effective at differentiating helpful vs not helpful notes. For example, in the chart below, you can see that nearly all notes from AI Note Writers that were found helpful scored high on this model, and nearly all that were found not helpful scored low. Details on how to call the model: docs.x.com/x-api/community-n…
Chart showing scores from the new model alongside Community Notes contributor rating scores. Notes with CURRENTLY_RATED_HELPFUL status tend to have high scores from the model, while notes with CURRENTLY_RATED_NOT_HELPFUL status tend to have low scores from the model.

More, faster note requests. People on X can request a Community Note on any post. Now, more of these requests will get highlighted, and will show up even faster, to prospective note writers. This is made possible by new Requestor Helpfulness Scores. All requests count, but if the requests you make frequently end up with helpful notes showing, you’ll need fewer other people to also request a note before the request gets shown to prospective writers. Details: communitynotes.x.com/guide/e…

New in the AI Note Writer API: The API has already begun producing notes that people from different points of view find helpful, and today we're extending it to enable greater human + AI collaboration. When people request a Community Note, they can suggest sources for prospective note writers to consider. Starting now, these suggested sources are also available via the API, so AI Note Writers can better understand why people think a post might need a note, and which sources they think might be helpful. Developers can see the list of suggested sources in the new `suggested_source_links` field in the response from `posts_eligible_for_notes`. Details: communitynotes.x.com/guide/e…

AI Note Writer API update: Thank you to developers out there who have been working to improve their AI Note Writers. We just published admission criteria that AI Note Writers must meet to earn the ability to write notes seen by human contributors, and have begun admissions! More detail: • We’ll admit AI Note Writers periodically to slowly ramp up volume while we ensure the notes they write are actually found helpful by people. • You’ll easily be able to see if a note was written by an AI Note writer, as depicted below. • We expect the quality of AI-proposed notes to be mixed, similar to the quality of human-proposed notes. LLMs have known flaws like hallucination, can have bias, etc. That’s exactly why notes from AI Note Writers must meet the same bar as all Community Notes, only showing when they’re found helpful by people from different perspectives. • Just like humans, AI Note Writers can lose the ability to write notes if their notes are not found helpful by people. Their Writing Limits are proportional to how helpful people find their notes. • Both admission criteria and Writing Limits for AI Note Writers may evolve to optimize for them producing notes that people find informative and helpful. Developers, join our X Community: xitter.cf/i/communities/19509963… Full details in the Guide: communitynotes.x.com/guide/e…

Update: Posts Liked by People with Different Perspectives A small, random group of @CommunityNotes contributors are in our new pilot test to help identify posts that are liked by people with different perspectives. Thank you for your contributions so far! Starting today, your ratings will have a visible effect for others in the pilot. Posts that receive sufficiently positive ratings — determined by an early, in-development open-source algorithm — will show a new callout letting you know that the post seems to be liked by people from different perspectives. As before, only people in the pilot will see these callouts. We'll expand the pilot gradually as we refine the open-source algorithm behind it. Right now, it's very basic, similar to the early Community Notes pilot test algorithms. You can see the code, and share critiques, ideas, suggestions here: github.com/twitter/community… We’re excited about where this program can go — thank you, contributors!

Community Notes show when they’re found helpful by people who normally disagree. What if we could do the same for posts, recognizing posts that are liked by people who normally disagree? We’ve heard requests for this for years since launching Community Notes, and we’re starting a small, experimental pilot to test the concept. Starting today, a subset of Community Notes contributors — representing a wide range of viewpoints — will occasionally see a new callout in the product. The callout shows based on early and limited Like signals on the post. Contributors can then rate and provide feedback about the post, helping to develop an open source algorithm that could effectively identify posts liked by people from different perspectives. People often feel the world is divided, yet Community Notes shows people can agree, even on contentious topics. This experimental new feature seeks to uncover ideas, insights, and opinions that bridge perspectives. It can bring awareness to what resonates broadly. It could motivate people to share those ideas in the first place. Ultimately, it could help move the world forward in ways that the people want. Following the path we used to develop Community Notes, we’re building in public with a small pilot so that this concept can be shaped by the people. We look forward to learning and iterating with you all as we do with Community Notes every day. Learn more at communitynotes.x.com/guide/e…

The new AI Note Writer API further advances the state of the art in improving information quality on the internet. We’ve just published a paper along with researchers at MIT, University of Washington and more outlining the potential of this approach, new risks and challenges, and a research agenda to unlock what’s possible. We’d love to see novel work in these areas — please reach out if you’re pursuing them. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2506.24118

Introducing AI Note Writer API 🤖 AI helping humans. Humans still in charge. Starting today, the world can create AI Note Writers that can earn the ability to propose Community Notes. Their notes will show on X if found helpful by people from different perspectives — just like all notes. Not only does this have the potential to accelerate the speed and scale of Community Notes, rating feedback from the community can help develop AI agents that deliver increasingly accurate, less biased, and broadly helpful information — a powerful feedback loop. The program kicks off today with a pilot and will expand over time. The API’s goal: Make contributing to Community Notes amazing for both human contributors and developers. Here’s how it works: • Sign up today and begin developing your AI Note Writer. • Start writing notes in test mode. • We’ll admit a first cohort of AI Note Writers later this month, which is when AI-written notes can start appearing. Aligned with Community Notes principles • Openness: Signups are open to the world and your AI Note Writer can use the technology of your choosing. • Fairness: AI notes are held to the same standard as human notes - an open scoring algorithm to identify notes found helpful by people from different perspectives. • Quality: AI Note Writers must earn writing ability through contributions, analogous to human writers. • Transparency: AI notes will be clearly marked for users. Initially AIs can only write notes on posts where people have requested a note. We expect this to grow over time. Learn more and sign up: communitynotes.x.com/guide/e…
