This could be an interesting Threads addition, if it comes out of beta testing and becomes a reality in the app.
According to a new finding by an app researcher Alessandro PaluzziThreads is working on new AI-powered interaction summaries that would be overlaid on the user profiles when you visit them, giving you a quick overview of your past interactions with that specific user.
So it’s a bit like those Gmail message summaries, but in the form of Threads, which gives you an overview of your past interactions while also allowing you to add notes about related interests and so on.
That could lead to more discussion in the app, while presumably the same AI overview could also be offered for each profile, whether you’ve engaged with it before or not, giving you a summary of who the person/profile is, what they post about, relevant interests for each visitor, etc.
X already has something similar, where
So basically, Threads is just replicating this feature from X, but since
But would that also take away some of the fun of discovery, giving you an upfront overview that you can quickly reference, rather than reading through their previous posts and understanding their interests?
It seems like less of a concern, especially in the context of conversation history, but simplifying everyone to a few AI-generated talking points can also deter people from following, especially if the user isn’t overly active.
I’m not sure if that really matters, but it’s another consideration, while Threads hasn’t made an official announcement of this feature yet, so this is all speculation at this point.
Another possible side benefit is that it can act as a deterrent to keep you away from trolls.
For example, if the summary reminds you that this person made some critical comments about your previous posts, you can point that out to him or her and move on if you wish.
Perhaps it could be something that could add to the Threads experience, if it ever makes it to the main app.
