- Threads is testing a new AI feature that lets users mention Meta AI in posts or replies to get contextual information, mirroring X's Grok.
- Meta is limiting the test to public accounts in five countries.
- X offers Grok, an AI assistant that Threads' feature is designed to resemble.
Why it matters: Public creators on Threads in the five test countries can now add AI‑generated context to posts, giving Meta a foothold in AI‑enhanced social interaction and pressuring X to match the feature.
