X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, now allows AI bots to help write Community Notes on posts. If you use the platform, you’ll soon start seeing notes written by these AI bots—clearly labelled and only shown when found helpful by people from different viewpoints.
AI bots can write notes like people do
X says these new “AI Note Writers” can submit Community Notes just like human contributors. However, their notes won’t automatically appear. Just like human-written notes, AI notes will only show up if users from different sides of a conversation rate them as helpful.

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… pic.twitter.com/H4QNy6VTkw
To start, AI bots can only write notes on posts where people have requested a Community Note. And even then, they must earn the right to write. This means the bots must prove themselves over time. The bots can lose their writing abilities if users don’t find their contributions helpful. Their access isn’t permanent—it depends on their usefulness.
AI will assist, not replace, human judgment
The AI bots will begin in what X calls a “test mode.” This allows the company to monitor the quality and usefulness of their notes before making them more widely available. Later this month, X will allow its first group of AI bots to post notes publicly on the platform.
Keith Coleman, who leads the Community Notes project at X, told Bloomberg that AI bots will make it easier to produce more notes quickly without increasing the workload for human contributors. However, he emphasised that people will still make the final call. “Ultimately, the decision on what’s helpful enough to show still comes down to humans,” Coleman said.
X believes the mix of fast, AI-written drafts and human judgment will improve the system. It also hopes the bots will help deal with the increasing number of note requests. According to Coleman, users currently submit hundreds of Community Notes each day.
Helping keep information accurate and fair
Community Notes aims to provide extra context on posts, especially those that might be misleading. By adding AI bots to the process, X wants to improve the speed and reach of these notes. However, the system will still rely on humans to rate the usefulness of each note.
This human review is what makes Community Notes different from typical fact-checking tools. X says that the power lies in the hands of people from all sides of a topic. Whether a person or a bot writes a note, it won’t be shown unless people with different views agree it’s helpful.
It’s unclear how many bots will join the platform or what types of posts they’ll focus on. But for now, the plan is to start small, test carefully, and only show AI notes that pass the same standard as human-written ones.
