Following the sudden and unexpected decision by X to restrict AI bots, Kaito AI has announced it will continue its operations by launching 'Kaito Studio'. This move means they are expanding their presence to other platforms like YouTube and TikTok
for full context for the timeline:
- on 13 Jan: we first received an email heads up for potential re-evaluation from our account manager (screenshot below). we immediately asked for clarification
- on 14 Jan: we received legal notice from X and issued our legal response on the same day (screenshot below). again, asking for clarification over a call
- on 15 Jan: we saw Nikitaโs tweet the same time as everyone else
why was there no prior announcement?
- itโs not the first time we received legal notice from X. the previous occasion was resolved amicably with a new enterprise agreement. so itโs reasonable to wait for further clarifications and discussions before we unilaterally announce anything in the short timeframe
how long have we been planning Kaito Studio?
- for several months now, Kaito Studio was a work-in-progress that signals our expansion cross platform (tiktok, YouTube) as well as beyond crypto; complimenting Yaps with a new model. with existing partnerships with our pilot users in crypto and beyond due to launch soon, we had also adequately prepared materials - enabling us to react promptly in response to Xโs sudden announcement
what happens for the rest of the Kaito business?
- with Yaps sunsetted, we move cross-platform with Kaito Studio taking the stage in 2026. no impact on Kaito Launchpad, Kaito Pro, Kaito API, and the upcoming Kaito Markets. more details on the roadmap will be released ahead
