Ever wondered what it takes to ship an encrypted chat API?

I wrote up how to build on the 𝕏 Chat API and a sneak peak on how we built it https://t.co/kX7HIn4I86

One of my favorite verticals that I've worked on, and there's so much more to come.

A world-class streaming platform needs a world-class API to match. Now it's here.

[XChat @chat]

X Numbers are here.

Share yours with anyone you want to contact you, even if you don't follow them. It's an optional way for people to message or call you, without you needing to accept requests or follow them back.

[Santiago @santiagomed]

The @XDevelopers and @bot team worked tirelessly this week to make the X in Grok Bot experience as seamless as possible.

On top of the included credits to Grok Bot users, this week we started giving $20 of monthly X API credits to all Premium+ users.

We're building the Everything API so agents can work across X and beyond.

𝕏 Chat is a full rewrite of DMs on 𝕏 and will replace legacy DMs over time

That only works if builders can come along. Businesses ran support & automation on the DM API for years, but none of it works with encrypted messages

𝕏 Chat needed an API of its own. Today it has one

[Engineering @Engineering]

Update your app today to see the difference.

Many more upgrades to come including hosting Spaces and performance upgrades for older devices. Let us know what you think and reply with any bugs that you catch.

[Engineering @Engineering]

We've completely rebuilt the Android X app from the ground up.

It's faster, smoother, and more reliable than the old version in every way. We modernized the foundation so everything just feels better: scrolling, loading, notifications, you name it.

[Nate Esparza @Nate_Esparza]
