As the Twitter-like social network Bluesky<\/a> sees a significant surge<\/a> in users this month, Meta\u2019s own X competitor Threads has been rapidly building out its platform. On Friday, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced<\/a> that Threads will start testing AI-powered summaries of what people are discussing on the platform in the app\u2019s \u201cTrending now\u201d section in the U.S. <\/p>\n

The new addition sounds similar to X\u2019s Stories feature<\/a>, which uses Elon Musk\u2019s AI chatbot Grok to summarize trending topics in the social network\u2019s Explore section.<\/p>\n

Threads is also going to test an expanded set of trending topics, the company noted. Plus, users will now be able to search within a specific date range and search for posts from an individual account.<\/p>\n

In a post on Threads, Mosseri said the new additions are \u201clong-overdue improvements to Search and Trending Now on Threads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meta has been moving quickly to update Threads at a time when many X users are moving to Bluesky, which has now surpassed\u00a020 million users<\/a>. The platform has seen an increase in users following the U.S. presidential election as X gained more of a right-wing approach, especially after Musk used the social network to campaign for President-elect Donald Trump. <\/p>\n

After complaints<\/a> from users<\/a> regarding Threads\u2019 algorithm, the platform is now embracing feedback, as it rolled out changes this week to surface more content<\/a> from people you follow in the app\u2019s algorithmic feed.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the social network rolled out custom feeds<\/a> to allow Threads users to curate feeds around specific topics or certain user profiles. The tool allows Threads to compete with Bluesky\u2019s own features that let users build their own algorithms, feeds, and lists. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that Threads\u2019 user base is still much larger than Bluesky\u2019s as it has more than 275 million monthly active users<\/a>. However, data from market intelligence firm Simiarweb<\/a> shows that Bluesky is catching up with Threads when it comes to daily active users. The firm believes that if the social network is able to keep up its current growth rate, it could eventually catch up with Threads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
